DbEnv::set_data_dir |
#include <db_cxx.h>int DbEnv::set_data_dir(const char *dir);
int DbEnv::get_data_dirs(const char ***dirpp);
Set the path of a directory to be used as the location of the access method database files. Paths specified to the Db::open 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.
If no database directories are specified, database files must be named either by absolute paths or relative to the environment home directory. See Berkeley DB File Naming for more information.
The database environment's data directories may also be configured using the environment's DB_CONFIG 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.
The DbEnv::set_data_dir method configures operations performed using the specified DbEnv handle, not all operations performed on the underlying database environment.
The DbEnv::set_data_dir method may not be called after the DbEnv::open method is called. If the database environment already exists when DbEnv::open is called, the information specified to DbEnv::set_data_dir must be consistent with the existing environment or corruption can occur.
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.
On Windows, the dir argument will be interpreted as a UTF-8 string, which is equivalent to ASCII for Latin characters.
The DbEnv::set_data_dir method may fail and throw DbException, encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of the following non-zero errors:
The DbEnv::get_data_dirs method returns the NULL-terminated array of directories.
The DbEnv::get_data_dirs method may be called at any time during the life of the application.
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.
