Description: DB_MPOOLFILE->set_flags

Configure a file in the cache.

To set the flags for a particular database, call the DB_MPOOLFILE->set_flags method using the DB_MPOOLFILE handle stored in the mpf field of the DB handle.

The DB_MPOOLFILE->set_flags method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

Parameters

flags
The flags parameter must be set by bitwise inclusively OR'ing together one or more of the following values:
DB_MPOOL_NOFILE
If set, no backing temporary file will be opened for in-memory databases, even if they expand to fill the entire cache. Attempts to create new file pages after the cache has been filled will fail.

The DB_MPOOL_NOFILE flag configures a file in the memory pool, not only operations performed using the specified DB_MPOOLFILE handle.

The DB_MPOOL_NOFILE flag may be used to configure Berkeley DB at any time during the life of the application.

DB_MPOOL_UNLINK
If set, remove the file when the last reference to it is closed.

The DB_MPOOL_NOFILE flag configures a file in the memory pool, not only operations performed using the specified DB_MPOOLFILE handle.

The DB_MPOOL_UNLINK flag may be used to configure Berkeley DB at any time during the life of the application.

If onoff is zero, the specified flags are cleared; otherwise they are set.
