            This interface has been deprecated. You should use

            and <a class="xref" href="envset_create_dir.html" title="DbEnv::set_create_dir()">DbEnv::set_create_dir()</a>

      <p>
         Set the path of a directory to be used as the location of the access
         method database files.  Paths specified to the 
         <a class="xref" href="dbopen.html" title="Db::open()">Db::open()</a>  function will be
         searched relative to this path.  Paths set using this method are
         additive, and specifying more than one will result in each specified
         directory being searched for database files.  If any directories are
         specified, database files will always be created in the first
         path specified.
    </p>
      <p>
         If no database directories are specified, database files must be named
         either by absolute paths or relative to the environment home
         directory. See 
         <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_naming.html" class="olink">Berkeley DB File Naming</a> 
         for more information.
    </p>
      <p>
         The database environment's data directories may also be configured
         using the environment's <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file.  The syntax of the entry
         in that file is a single line with the string "set_data_dir", one
         or more whitespace characters, and the directory name.  Note that
         if you use this method for your application, and you also want to
         use the
         <a class="xref" href="db_recover.html" title="db_recover">db_recover</a> or
         <a class="xref" href="db_archive.html" title="db_archive">db_archive</a>
         utilities, then you should create a <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file and set 
         the "set_data_dir" parameter in it.
    </p>
      <p>
         The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::set_data_dir()</code> method
         configures operations performed using the specified

         performed on the underlying database environment.

         called.  If the database environment already exists when 
         <a class="xref" href="envopen.html" title="DbEnv::open()">DbEnv::open()</a>  is called, the
         information specified to
         <code class="methodname">DbEnv::set_data_dir()</code> must be consistent
         with the existing environment or corruption can occur.
