This interface has been deprecated. You should use
|
||
<a class="xref" href="envadd_data_dir.html" title="DB_ENV->add_data_dir()">DB_ENV->add_data_dir()</a>
|
||
and <a class="xref" href="envset_create_dir.html" title="DB_ENV->set_create_dir()">DB_ENV->set_create_dir()</a>

instead.

Set the path of a directory to be used as the location of the access
|
||
method database files. Paths specified to the
|
||
<a class="xref" href="dbopen.html" title="DB->open()">DB->open()</a> function will be
|
||
searched relative to this path. Paths set using this method are
|
||
additive, and specifying more than one will result in each specified
|
||
directory being searched for database files. If any directories are
|
||
specified, database files will always be created in the first
|
||
path specified.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If no database directories are specified, database files must be named
|
||
either by absolute paths or relative to the environment home
|
||
directory. See
|
||
<a href="../../programmer_reference/env_naming.html" class="olink">Berkeley DB File Naming</a>
|
||
for more information.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The database environment's data directories may also be configured
|
||
using the environment's <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file. The syntax of the entry
|
||
in that file is a single line with the string "set_data_dir", one
|
||
or more whitespace characters, and the directory name. Note that
|
||
if you use this method for your application, and you also want to
|
||
use the
|
||
<a class="xref" href="db_recover.html" title="db_recover">db_recover</a> or
|
||
<a class="xref" href="db_archive.html" title="db_archive">db_archive</a>
|
||
utilities, then you should create a <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file and set
|
||
the "set_data_dir" parameter in it.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV->set_data_dir()</code> method
|
||
configures operations performed using the specified
|
||
<a class="link" href="env.html" title="Chapter 5. The DB_ENV Handle">DB_ENV</a> handle, not all operations
|
||
performed on the underlying database environment.

<p>
|

The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV->set_data_dir()</code> method may not
|
||
be called after the
|
||
<a class="xref" href="envopen.html" title="DB_ENV->open()">DB_ENV->open()</a> method is
|
||
called. If the database environment already exists when
|
||
<a class="xref" href="envopen.html" title="DB_ENV->open()">DB_ENV->open()</a> is called, the
|
||
information specified to
|
||
<code class="methodname">DB_ENV->set_data_dir()</code> must be consistent
|
||
with the existing environment or corruption can occur.

<p>

The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV->set_data_dir()</code> <span>
