         Set a user-defined hash function; if no hash function is specified, a
         default hash function is used.  Because no hash function performs
         equally well on all possible data, the user may find that the built-in
         hash function performs poorly with a particular data set.

      <p>
         The <code class="methodname">Db::set_h_hash()</code> method configures operations performed using the
         specified <a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2.  The Db Handle">Db</a>  handle, not
         all operations performed on the underlying database.

         <a class="xref" href="dbopen.html" title="Db::open()">Db::open()</a>  method is called. If
         the database already exists when <a class="xref" href="dbopen.html" title="Db::open()">Db::open()</a>  
         is called, the information specified to <code class="methodname">Db::set_h_hash()</code> must be the same as that
         historically used to create the database or corruption can occur.
