# Db.set_h_nelem |

###

    import com.sleepycat.db.*;

    public void set_h_nelem(int h_nelem)
    	throws DbException;

# Description

Set an estimate of the final size of the hash table.

If not set or set too low, hash tables will still expand gracefully as keys are entered, although a slight performance degradation may be noticed.

The Db.set_h_nelem interface may be used only to configure Berkeley DB before the Db.open interface is called.

The Db.set_h_nelem method throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure.

# Errors

The Db.set_h_nelem method may fail and throw an exception encapsulating a non-zero error for the following conditions:

EINVAL
  An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

  Called after Db.open was called.

The Db.set_h_nelem 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 Db.set_h_nelem method may fail and throw a DbRunRecoveryException, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way.
