DbEnv::set_metadata_dir(const char *dir);</pre>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::set_metadata_dir()</code> method sets
the directory where persistent metadata is stored. By default,
persistent metadata is stored in the environment home
directory.
</p>
<p>
When used in a replicated application, the metadata directory must
be the same location for all sites within a replication group.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::set_metadata_dir()</code> method may
not be called after the <a class="xref" href="envopen.html" title="DbEnv::open()">DbEnv::open()</a>
method is called. The directory identified by this method must
already exist when the <code class="methodname">DbEnv::open()</code>
method is called. The directory identified by this method is added
to the environment's list of data directories, if this directory
is not already included on that list.
</p>
<p>
The database environment's metadata directory 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_metadata_dir", one or more whitespace characters,
followed by the directory location. Because the
<a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a>
file is read when the database environment is opened, it will
silently overrule configuration done before that time.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::set_metadata_dir()</code> <span>
<span>
method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an
exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure, and returns 0 on success.
