Set the maximum number of simultaneously locked objects supported by
the Berkeley DB lock subsystem. This value is used by DbEnv::open to
estimate how much space to allocate for various lock-table data
structures. For specific information on configuring the size of the
lock subsystem, see
Configuring locking: sizing the system.
The DbEnv::set_lk_max_objects interface may only be used to configure Berkeley DB before
the DbEnv::open interface is called.
The DbEnv::set_lk_max_objects 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 maximum number of objects 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_lk_max_objects", one or more whitespace characters,
and the number of objects. Because the DB_CONFIG file is read when the database
environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done
before that time.
