<p>The application may change the number of simultaneous outstanding
|
|||
|
|
transactions supported by the Berkeley DB environment by calling the
|
|||
|
|
<a href="../api_reference/C/envset_tx_max.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->set_tx_max()</a> method. This will also set the size of the
|
|||
|
|
underlying transaction subsystem's region. When the number of
|
|||
|
|
outstanding transactions is reached, additional calls to
|
|||
|
|
<a href="../api_reference/C/txnbegin.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->txn_begin()</a> will fail until some active transactions complete.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The application can limit how long a transaction runs or blocks on
|
|||
|
|
contested resources.
|
|||
|
|
The <a href="../api_reference/C/envset_timeout.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->set_timeout()</a> method specifies the length of the timeout.
|
|||
|
|
This value is checked whenever deadlock detection is performed or
|
|||
|
|
when the transaction is about to block on a lock that cannot be
|
|||
|
|
immediately granted.
|
|||
|
|
Because timeouts are only checked at these times, the accuracy of the
|
|||
|
|
timeout depends on how often deadlock detection is performed or how
|
|||
|
|
frequently the transaction blocks.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>There is an additional parameter used in configuring transactions; the
|
|||
|
|
<a href="../api_reference/C/envset_flags.html#envset_flags_DB_TXN_NOSYNC" class="olink">DB_TXN_NOSYNC</a>. Setting the <a href="../api_reference/C/envset_flags.html#envset_flags_DB_TXN_NOSYNC" class="olink">DB_TXN_NOSYNC</a> flag to
|
|||
|
|
<a href="../api_reference/C/envset_flags.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->set_flags()</a> when opening a transaction region changes the
|
|||
|
|
behavior of transactions to not write or synchronously flush the log
|
|||
|
|
during transaction commit.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>This change may significantly increase application transactional
|
|||
|
|
throughput. However, it means that although transactions will continue
|
|||
|
|
to exhibit the ACI (atomicity, consistency, and isolation) properties,
|
|||
|
|
they will not have D (durability). Database integrity will be
|
|||
|
|
maintained, but it is possible that some number of the most recently
|
|||
|
|
committed transactions may be undone during recovery instead of being
|
|||
|
|
redone.</p>
