Set the Hash key comparison function. The comparison function is
|
||
called whenever it is necessary to compare a key specified by the
|
||
application with a key currently stored in the database.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If no comparison function is specified, a byte-by-byte comparison is
|
||
performed.

<p>
|
||
The <code class="methodname">DB->set_h_compare()</code> method configures operations performed using

the specified <a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The DB Handle">DB</a> handle,
|
||
not all operations performed on the underlying database.
|
||
</p>
|

<p>
|

The <code class="methodname">DB->set_h_compare()</code> method may not be called after the
|
||
<a class="xref" href="dbopen.html" title="DB->open()">DB->open()</a> method is called. If
|
||
the database already exists when <a class="xref" href="dbopen.html" title="DB->open()">DB->open()</a>
|
||
is called, the information specified to <code class="methodname">DB->set_h_compare()</code>
|
||
must be the same as that historically used to create the database or corruption can occur.

The <code class="methodname">DB->set_h_compare()</code> <span>

The <span class="bold"><strong>compare_fcn</strong></span> function is the

application-specified Hash comparison function. The comparison

function takes three parameters:

<div class="itemizedlist">

<p>

<p>
|

The <span class="bold"><strong>db</strong></span> parameter is the enclosing
|

database handle.

<li>
|

|

<code class="literal">dbt1</code>
|

<p>
|

The <span class="bold"><strong>dbt1</strong></span> parameter is the <a class="link" href="dbt.html" title="Chapter 4. The DBT Handle">DBT</a>
|
||
representing the application supplied key.

<code class="literal">dbt2</code>

The <span class="bold"><strong>dbt2</strong></span> parameter is the <a class="link" href="dbt.html" title="Chapter 4. The DBT Handle">DBT</a>

</div>

<p>
|

The <span class="bold"><strong>compare_fcn</strong></span> function must return an integer
|
||
value less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first key parameter is
|
||
considered to be respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second
|
||
key parameter. The comparison function must correctly handle any key values used
|
||
by the application (possibly including zero-length keys). The
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>data</strong></span> and <span class="bold"><strong>size</strong></span>
|
||
fields of the <a class="link" href="dbt.html" title="Chapter 4. The DBT Handle">DBT</a> are the only fields
|

that may be used for the purposes of this comparison, and no particular

alignment of the memory to which by the <span class="bold"><strong>data</strong></span>
|
||
field refers may be assumed.
