As transactions acquire locks on behalf of a single locker ID, rejecting a lock request associated with a transaction normally requires the transaction be aborted.</p> <p>The database environment's deadlock detector configuration may also be set using the environment's <b>DB_CONFIG</b> file. The syntax of the entry in that file is a single line with the string "set_lk_detect", one or more whitespace characters, and the method <b>detect</b> parameter as a string; for example, "set_lk_detect DB_LOCK_OLDEST". Because the <b>DB_CONFIG</b> file is read when the database environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done before that time.</p> <p>The DB_ENV->set_lk_detect method configures a database environment, not only operations performed using the specified <a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> handle.</p> <p>The DB_ENV->set_lk_detect method may not be called after the <a href="../../db42-devel-4.2.52/api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a> method is called.
