Description: DbEnv::set_lk_partitions
Set the number of lock table partitions in the Berkeley DB
environment.
The default value is 10 times the number of CPUs on the system if there
is more than one CPU.
Increasing the number of partitions can provide for greater throughput on
a system with multiple CPUs and more than one thread contending for the
lock manager.
On single processor systems more than one partition may increase the overhead
of the lock manager. Systems often report threading contexts as CPUs this
may require setting the number of partitions to 1 to get optimal performance.

The database environment's number of partitions may also be configured using the
environment's <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/ref/env/db_config.html#DB_CONFIG">DB_CONFIG</a> file. The syntax of the entry in that
file is a single line with the string "set_lk_partitions", one or more whitespace
characters, and the number of partitions.
Because the <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/ref/env/db_config.html#DB_CONFIG">DB_CONFIG</a> file is read when the database environment
is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done before that
time.
The DbEnv::set_lk_partitions method configures a database environment, not only operations
performed using the specified <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_cxx/env_class.html">DbEnv</a> handle.
The DbEnv::set_lk_partitions method may not be called after the <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_cxx/env_open.html">DbEnv::open</a> method is
called.
If the database environment already exists when
<a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_cxx/env_open.html">DbEnv::open</a> is called, the information specified to DbEnv::set_lk_partitions
will be ignored.

The DbEnv::set_lk_partitions 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 
 partitions<ul compact><li>The partitions parameter is the number of partitions
to be configured in the Berkeley DB environment.</ul>
 
 Errors
The DbEnv::set_lk_partitions method
may fail and throw
<a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_cxx/except_class.html">DbException</a>,
encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of
the following non-zero errors:
 
EINVAL<ul compact><li>If the method was called after <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_cxx/env_open.html">DbEnv::open</a> was called; or if an
invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul>

Description: DbEnv::get_lk_partitions
The DbEnv::get_lk_partitions method returns the number of partitions.
The DbEnv::get_lk_partitions method may be called at any time during the life of the
application.
The DbEnv::get_lk_partitions 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 
 lk_partitions<ul compact><li>The DbEnv::get_lk_partitions method returns the
number of partitions in lk_partitions.</ul>
