    public void set_lk_detect(int lk_detect)
    	throws DbException;

# Description

Set if the deadlock detector is to be run whenever a lock conflict occurs, and specify which transaction should be aborted in the case of a deadlock. The specified value must be one of the following list:

DB_LOCK_DEFAULT
  Use the default policy as specified by db_deadlock.
DB_LOCK_OLDEST
  Abort the oldest transaction.
DB_LOCK_RANDOM
  Abort a random transaction involved in the deadlock.
DB_LOCK_YOUNGEST
  Abort the youngest transaction.

The DbEnv.set_lk_detect interface may only be used to configure Berkeley DB before the DbEnv.open interface is called.

The DbEnv.set_lk_detect method throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure.

# Errors

EINVAL
  An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

  Called after DbEnv.open was called.
