# DbEnv::set_lg_max

###

    #include <db_cxx.h>

    int
    DbEnv::set_lg_max(u_int32_t lg_max);

# Description

Set the maximum size of a single file in the log, in bytes. Because DbLsn file offsets are unsigned four-byte values, the set value may not be larger than the maximum unsigned four-byte value. By default, or if the value is set to 0, a size of 10MB is used. The size of the log file must be at least four times the size of the in-memory log buffer (see DbEnv::set_lg_bsize).

See Log File Limits for more information.

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

The DbEnv::set_lg_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.

The database environment's log file size may also be set using the environment's DB_CONFIG file. The syntax of the entry in that file is a single line with the string "set_lg_max", one or more whitespace characters, and the size in bytes. Because the DB_CONFIG file is read when the database environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done before that time.

# Errors

The DbEnv::set_lg_max method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for the following conditions:

EINVAL
  An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

  Called after DbEnv::open was called.

  The size of the log file is less than four times the size of the in-memory log buffer.

  The specified log file size was too large.

The DbEnv::set_lg_max method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods. If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DbEnv::set_lg_max method may fail and either return DB_RUNRECOVERY or throw an exception encapsulating DB_RUNRECOVERY, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way.
