Db::set_lk_exclusive(int nowait_onoff); </pre>
<p>
Configures the database handle to obtain a write lock on the
entire database when it is opened. This gives the handle
exclusive access to the database, because the write lock will block
all other threads of control for both read and write access.
</p>
<p>
Use this method to improve the throughput performance on your
database for the thread that is controlling this handle. When
configured with this method, operations on the database do not
acquire page locks as they perform read and/or write operations.
Also, the exclusive lock means that operations performed on the
database handle will never be blocked waiting for lock due to
another thread's activities. The application will also be immune to
deadlocks.
</p>
<p>
On the other hand, use of this method means that you can only
have a single thread accessing the database until the handle is
closed. For some applications, the loss of multiple threads
concurrently operating on the database will result in
performance degradation.
</p>
<p>
Also, use of this method means that you can only have one
transaction active for the handle at a time.

<p>
Replication applications that use exclusive database handles
need to be written with caution. This is because replication
clients cannot process updates on an exclusive database until
all local handles on the database are closed. Also, attempting
to open an exclusive database handle on a currently operating
client will result in the open call failing with the error
<code class="literal">EINVAL</code>.
</p>
<p>
Also, opening an exclusive database handle on a replication
master will result in all clients being locked out of the
database. On clients, existing handles on the exclusive
database will return the error
<code class="literal">DB_REP_DEAD_HANDLE</code> when accessed, and must
be closed. New handles opened on the exclusive database will
block until the master closes its exclusive database handle.
