|

The <tt class="classname">EnvironmentConfig</tt> class makes a
|
||
large number of fields and methods available to you. Describing all of these
|
||
tuning parameters is beyond the scope of this manual. However, there are a
|
||
few properties that you are likely to want to set. They are described
|
||
here.</p>
|
||
<p>Note that for each of the properties that you can commonly set, there is a
|
||
corresponding getter method. Also, you can always retrieve the
|
||
<tt class="classname">EnvironmentConfig</tt> object used by your environment
|
||
using the <tt class="methodname">Environment.getConfig()</tt> method.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You set environment configuration parameters using the following methods on the
|
||
<tt class="classname">EnvironmentConfig</tt> class:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="itemizedlist">
|
||
<ul type="disc">
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<tt class="methodname">EnvironmentConfig.setAllowCreate()</tt>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>If <tt class="literal">true</tt>, the database environment is created
|
||
when it is opened. If <tt class="literal">false</tt>, environment open fails if the environment
|
||
does not exist. This property has no meaning if the database
|
||
environment already exists. Default is <tt class="literal">false</tt>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<tt class="methodname">EnvironmentConfig.setReadOnly()</tt>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>If <tt class="literal">true</tt>, then all databases opened in this
|
||
environment must be opened as read-only. If you are writing a
|
||
multi-process application, then all but one of your processes must set
|
||
this value to <tt class="literal">true</tt>. Default is <tt class="literal">false</tt>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<tt class="methodname">EnvironmentConfig.setTransactional()</tt>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>If <tt class="literal">true</tt>, configures the database environment
|
||
to support transactions. Default is <tt class="literal">false</tt>.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</div>
|

<p>For example:</p>

<tt class="classname">EnvironmentMutableConfig</tt> manages properties that can be reset after the
|
||
<tt class="classname">Environment</tt> object has been constructed. In addition, <tt class="classname">EnvironmentConfig</tt>
|
||
extends <tt class="classname">EnvironmentMutableConfig</tt>, so you can set these mutable properties at
|
||
<tt class="classname">Environment</tt> construction time if necessary.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <tt class="classname">EnvironmentMutableConfig</tt> class allows you to set the following
|
||
properties:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="itemizedlist">
|
||
<ul type="disc">
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<tt class="literal">setCachePercent()</tt>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Determines the percentage of JVM memory available to the DB cache.
|
||
See <a href="cachesize.html">Selecting the Cache Size</a>
|
||
for more information.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<tt class="literal">setCacheSize()</tt>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Determines the total amount of memory available to the database cache.
|
||
See <a href="cachesize.html">Selecting the Cache Size</a>
|
||
for more information.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<tt class="literal">setTxnNoSync()</tt>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Determines whether change records created due to a transaction commit are written to the backing
|
||
log files on disk. A value of <tt class="literal">true</tt> causes
|
||
the data to not be flushed to
|
||
disk. See the
|
||
|
||
<i class="citetitle">Getting Started with Transaction Processing for Java</i>
|
||
guide for more information.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<tt class="literal">setTxnWriteNoSync()</tt>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Determines whether logs are flushed on transaction commit (the logs are still written, however).
|
||
By setting this value to <tt class="literal">true</tt>, you potentially gain better performance than if
|
||
you flush the logs on commit, but you do so by losing some of your transaction durability guarantees.
|
||
See the
|
||
|
||
<i class="citetitle">Getting Started with Transaction Processing for Java</i>
|
||
guide for more information.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>
|
||
There is also a corresponding getter method (<tt class="methodname">getTxnNoSync()</tt>).
|
||
Moreover, you can always retrieve your environment's
|
||
<tt class="classname">EnvironmentMutableConfig</tt> object by
|
||
using the <tt class="methodname">Environment.getMutableConfig()</tt> method.
|
||
</p>

|
||
</p>

<pre class="programlisting">package db.gettingStarted;
