<b>Description: DbEnv::set_data_dir</b>
|
|
<p>Set the path of a directory to be used as the location of the access
|
|
method database files. Paths specified to the <a href="../api_cxx/db_open.html">Db::open</a> function
|
|
will be searched relative to this path. Paths set using this method
|
|
are additive, and specifying more than one will result in each specified
|
|
directory being searched for database files. If any directories are
|
|
specified, created database files will always be created in the first
|
|
path specified.</p>
|
|
<p>If no database directories are specified, database files must be named
|
|
either by absolute paths or relative to the environment home directory.
|
|
See <a href="../ref/env/naming.html">Berkeley DB File Naming</a> for more
|
|
information.</p>
|
|
<p>The database environment's data directories may also be configured using the
|
|
environment's <a href="../ref/env/db_config.html#DB_CONFIG">DB_CONFIG</a> file. The syntax of the entry in that
|
|
file is a single line with the string "set_data_dir", one or more whitespace
|
|
characters, and the directory name.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The DbEnv::set_data_dir method configures operations performed using the specified
|
|
<a href="../api_cxx/env_class.html">DbEnv</a> handle, not all operations performed on the underlying
|
|
database environment.</p>
|
|
<p>The DbEnv::set_data_dir method may not be called after the <a href="../api_cxx/env_open.html">DbEnv::open</a> method is
|
|
called.
|
|
If the database environment already exists when
|
|
<a href="../api_cxx/env_open.html">DbEnv::open</a> is called, the information specified to DbEnv::set_data_dir
|
|
must be consistent with the existing environment or corruption can
|
|
occur.</p>
|
|
<p>The DbEnv::set_data_dir 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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
|
|
<b>dir</b><ul compact><li>The <b>dir</b> parameter is a directory to be used as a location for
|
|
database files.</ul>
|
|
<p>When using a Unicode build on Windows (the default), the <b>dir</b>
|
|
argument will be interpreted as a UTF-8 string, which is equivalent to
|
|
ASCII for Latin characters.</p>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br><b>Errors</b>
|
|
<p>The DbEnv::set_data_dir method
|
|
may fail and throw
|
|
<a href="../api_cxx/except_class.html">DbException</a>,
|
|
encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of
|
|
the following non-zero errors:</p>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>EINVAL</b><ul compact><li>If the method was called after <a href="../api_cxx/env_open.html">DbEnv::open</a> was called; or if an
|
|
invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<hr size=1 noshade>
|
|
<b>Description: DbEnv::get_data_dirs</b>
|
|
<p>The DbEnv::get_data_dirs method returns the NULL-terminated array of directories.</p>
|
|
<p>The DbEnv::get_data_dirs method may be called at any time during the life of the
|
|
application.</p>
|
|
<p>The DbEnv::get_data_dirs 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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
|
|
<b>dirpp</b><ul compact><li>The DbEnv::get_data_dirs method returns a reference to the
|
|
NULL-terminated array of directories in <b>dirpp</b>.</ul>
