        <h3 class="title">Note</h3>
        <p>
                    Berkeley DB is not re-entrant. Callback functions should not attempt to make library calls (for
                    example, to release locks or close open handles). Re-entering Berkeley DB is not guaranteed to work
                    correctly, and the results are undefined.

      </div>
      <p>
         The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::set_event_notify()</code> method configures operations performed

         operations performed on the underlying database environment.
    </p>
      <p>
         The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::set_event_notify()</code> method may be called at any time

                            Errors can occur in the Berkeley DB library where the only solution is
                            to shut down the application and run recovery (for example, if
                            Berkeley DB is unable to allocate heap memory).  In such cases, the
                            Berkeley DB methods will return 
                            <a href="../../programmer_reference/program_errorret.html#program_errorret.DB_RUNRECOVERY" class="olink">DB_RUNRECOVERY</a>.
                            It is often easier to simply exit the application when such errors
                            occur rather than gracefully return up the stack.

                            When <span class="bold"><strong>event</strong></span> is set to DB_EVENT_PANIC,
                            the database environment has failed.  All threads of control in the
                            database environment should exit the environment, and recovery should
                            be run.

                            flag was specified on the 
                            <a class="xref" href="envopen.html" title="DbEnv::open()">DbEnv::open()</a> method and there is

                      <p>
					        The <span class="bold"><strong>event_info</strong></span> parameter points to a pid_t value

                            flag was specified 
                            on the <a class="xref" href="envopen.html" title="DbEnv::open()">DbEnv::open()</a> method.  All threads

                      <p>
                            This event is different than the <code class="literal">DB_EVENT_PANIC</code> event
                            because it can only be triggered when <code class="literal">DB_REGISTER</code> was
                            specified.   It can be used to distinguish between the case when a process
                            dies in the environment and recovery is initiated versus the case when an
                            error happened (for example, if Berkeley DB is unable to allocate heap
                            memory)

                            The local replication site has just won an election.  An application
                            using the Base replication API should arrange for a call to the 
                            <a class="xref" href="repstart.html" title="DbEnv::rep_start()">DbEnv::rep_start()</a>  method
                            after receiving this event, to reconfigure the local environment as a
                            replication master.
                        </p>
                      <p>
                            Replication Manager applications may safely ignore this event.  The
                            Replication Manager calls <a class="xref" href="repstart.html" title="DbEnv::rep_start()">DbEnv::rep_start()</a> 
                            automatically on behalf of the application when appropriate (resulting
                            in firing of the DB_EVENT_REP_MASTER event).

                            The local site is now the master site of its replication group.  It is
                            the application's responsibility to begin acting as the master
                            environment.

                            established a new master; the local site is not the new master.  The
