#include <db_cxx.h>

int
Db::set_pagesize(u_int32_t pagesize);

Description

Set the size of the pages used to hold items in the database, in bytes. The minimum page size is 512 bytes, and the maximum page size is 64K bytes. If the page size is not explicitly set, one is selected based on the underlying filesystem I/O block size. The automatically selected size has a lower limit of 512 bytes and an upper limit of 16K bytes.

For information on tuning the Berkeley DB page size, see Selecting a page size.

The Db::set_pagesize interface may be used only to configure Berkeley DB before the Db::open interface is called.

The Db::set_pagesize 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.

Errors

The Db::set_pagesize method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for the following conditions:

EINVAL

An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

Called after Db::open was called.

The Db::set_pagesize 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_pagesize 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.
