<p>
|
||
Almost all of the configuration information that can be specified to
|
||
<a href="../api_reference/C/env.html" class="olink">DB_ENV class</a> methods can also be specified using a configuration file.
|
||
If a file named DB_CONFIG exists in the database home directory, it
|
||
will be read for lines of the format
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>NAME VALUE</strong></span>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
One or more whitespace characters are used to delimit the two parts of
|
||
the line, and trailing whitespace characters are discarded. All empty
|
||
lines or lines whose first character is a whitespace or hash
|
||
(<span class="bold"><strong>#</strong></span>) character will be ignored. Each
|
||
line must specify both the NAME and the VALUE of the pair. The
|
||
specific NAME VALUE pairs are documented in the manual for the
|
||
corresponding methods (for example, the <a href="../api_reference/C/envset_data_dir.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->set_data_dir()</a> documentation
|
||
includes NAME VALUE pair information Berkeley DB administrators can use
|
||
to configure locations for database files).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p><a id="env_db_config.DB_CONFIG"></a>
|
||
The DB_CONFIG configuration file is intended to allow database
|
||
environment administrators to customize environments independent of
|
||
applications using the environment. For example, a database
|
||
administrator can move the database log and data files to a different
|
||
location without application recompilation. In addition, because the
|
||
DB_CONFIG file is read when the database environment is opened, it can
|
||
be used to overrule application configuration done before that time.
|
||
For example a database administrator could override the compiled-in
|
||
application cache size to a size more appropriate for a specific
|
||
machine.
