    int
    DB_ENV->set_lk_max_objects(DB_ENV *dbenv, u_int32_t max);

# Description

Set the maximum number of simultaneously locked objects supported by the Berkeley DB lock subsystem. This value is used by DB_ENV->open to estimate how much space to allocate for various lock-table data structures. The default value is 1000 objects. For specific information on configuring the size of the lock subsystem, see Configuring locking: sizing the system.

The DB_ENV->set_lk_max_objects interface may be used only to configure Berkeley DB before the DB_ENV->open interface is called.

The DB_ENV->set_lk_max_objects function returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

The database environment's maximum number of objects may also be set using the environment's DB_CONFIG file. The syntax of the entry in that file is a single line with the string "set_lk_max_objects", one or more whitespace characters, and the number of objects. Because the DB_CONFIG file is read when the database environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done before that time.

# Errors

The DB_ENV->set_lk_max_objects function may fail and return a non-zero error for the following conditions:

EINVAL
  An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

  Called after DB_ENV->open was called.

The DB_ENV->set_lk_max_objects function may fail and return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system functions. If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DB_ENV->set_lk_max_objects function may fail and return DB_RUNRECOVERY, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way.
