Db::set_h_nelem |
#include <db_cxx.h>int Db::set_h_nelem(u_int32_t h_nelem);
Set an estimate of the final size of the hash table.
If not set or set too low, hash tables will still expand gracefully as keys are entered, although a slight performance degradation may be noticed.
The Db::set_h_nelem interface may be used only to configure Berkeley DB before the Db::open interface is called.
The Db::set_h_nelem method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.
The Db::set_h_nelem method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for the following conditions:
Called after Db::open was called.
The Db::set_h_nelem method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods. If a catastrophic error has occurred, the Db::set_h_nelem method may fail and either return DB_RUNRECOVERY or throw an exception encapsulating DB_RUNRECOVERY, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way.
