Description

Set the application's function to be called during transaction abort and recovery. This function must return 0 on success and either errno or a value outside of the Berkeley DB error name space on failure. It takes four arguments:

dbenv

A Berkeley DB environment.

log_rec

A log record.

lsn

A log sequence number.

op

One of the following values:

DB_TXN_BACKWARD_ROLL

The log is being read backward to determine which transactions have been committed and to abort those operations that were not; undo the operation described by the log record.

DB_TXN_FORWARD_ROLL

The log is being played forward; redo the operation described by the log record.

DB_TXN_ABORT

The log is being read backward during a transaction abort; undo the operation described by the log record.

DB_TXN_APPLY

The log is being applied on a replica site; redo the operation described by the log record.

The DB_TXN_FORWARD_ROLL and DB_TXN_APPLY operations frequently imply the same actions, redoing changes that appear in the log record. The macro DB_REDO(op) checks that the operation is one of DB_TXN_FORWARD_ROLL or DB_TXN_APPLY, and should be used in the recovery code to refer to the conditions under which operations should be redone. Similarly, the macro DB_UNDO(op) checks if the operation is one of DB_TXN_BACKWARD_ROLL or DB_TXN_ABORT.

The DB_ENV->set_tx_recover interface may be used only to configure Berkeley DB before the DB_ENV->open interface is called.

The DB_ENV->set_tx_recover function returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

Errors

The DB_ENV->set_tx_recover function may fail and return a non-zero error for the following conditions:

EINVAL

An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

Called after DB_ENV->open was called.

The DB_ENV->set_tx_recover function may fail and return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system functions. If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DB_ENV->set_tx_recover function may fail and return DB_RUNRECOVERY, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way.
