### Dbc::set_priority

`

###

    #include <db_cxx.h>

    int
    Dbc::set_priority(DB_CACHE_PRIORITY priority);

    int
    Dbc::get_priority(DB_CACHE_PRIORITY *priorityp);

### Description: Dbc::set_priority

Set the cache priority for pages referenced by the Dbc handle.

The priority of a page biases the replacement algorithm to be more or less likely to discard a page when space is needed in the buffer pool. The bias is temporary, and pages will eventually be discarded if they are not referenced again. The Dbc::set_priority method is only advisory, and does not guarantee pages will be treated in a specific way.

The Dbc::set_priority method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

The Dbc::set_priority 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.

### Parameters

priority
  The priority parameter must be set to one of the following values:
  DB_PRIORITY_VERY_LOW
    The lowest priority: pages are the most likely to be discarded.
  DB_PRIORITY_LOW
    The next lowest priority.
  DB_PRIORITY_DEFAULT
    The default priority.
  DB_PRIORITY_HIGH
    The next highest priority.
  DB_PRIORITY_VERY_HIGH
    The highest priority: pages are the least likely to be discarded.
