###

    #include <db_cxx.h>

    int DbEnv::set_lk_max(u_int32_t lk_max);

# Description

Set the maximum number of locks to be held or requested in the table. This value is used by DbEnv::open to estimate how much space to allocate for various lock-table data structures.

If no value is specified, a default value is used.

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

The DbEnv::set_lk_max 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.

# Errors

EINVAL
  An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

  Called after DbEnv::open was called.
