public int lock_detect(int flags, int atype)
throws DbException;
Description
The DbEnv.lock_detect method runs one iteration of the deadlock detector.
The deadlock detector traverses the lock table, and for each deadlock
it finds, marks one of the participating transactions for abort.
The flags value must be set to 0 or by bitwise inclusively OR'ing together one or more
of the following values.
Only run the deadlock detector if a lock conflict has occurred since
the last time that the deadlock detector was run.
The atype parameter specifies which transaction to abort in the
case of deadlock. It must be set to one of possible arguments listed for
the DbEnv.set_lk_detect interface.
The DbEnv.lock_detect method returns the number of transactions aborted.
The DbEnv.lock_detect method throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure.
Errors
The DbEnv.lock_detect method may fail and throw an exception for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods.
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DbEnv.lock_detect method may fail and throw
a DbRunRecoveryException, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls
will fail in the same way.
