The following PRAGMAs are added in the Berkeley DB SQL interface.

<pre class="programlisting">PRAGMA bdbsql_error_file [filename]</pre>
<p>
Redirects internal Berkeley DB error messages to
the named file. If a relative path is specified to
<code class="literal">[filename]</code>, then the path is
interpreted as being relative to the current
working directory.
</p>
<p>
If this PRAGMA is issued with no filename, then the
current target for Berkeley DB error output is
returned. By default, error messages are sent to
<code class="literal">STDERR</code>.
</p>
<p>
This PRAGMA can be issued at any time; initial
database access does not have to occur before this
PRAGMA can be used.
</p>

<pre class="programlisting">PRAGMA bdbsql_lock_tablesize [= N]</pre>
<p>
Sets or reports the number of buckets in the Berkeley DB environment's
lock object hash table.
</p>
<p>
This pragma must be called prior to opening/creating the
database environment.
</p>
<p>

<p>
Sets or reports the maximum amount of memory (bytes) to be
used by shared structures in the main environment region.
</p>
<p>
This pragma must be called prior to opening/creating the
database environment.

<p>

<pre class="programlisting">PRAGMA bdbsql_single_process = boolean</pre>
<p>
To create a private environment rather than a shared
environment, enable this pragma. The cache and other
region files will be created in memory rather than
using file backed shared memory.
</p>
<p>
In Berkeley DB SQL the default behavior is to allow a
database to be opened and operated on by multiple
processes simultaneously. When this pragma is enabled,
accessing the same database from multiple processes
simultaneously can lead to data corruption. Either
option supports accessing a database using a single
process multi-threaded application.
</p>
<p>
By default omit sharing is disabled. This pragma must
be called prior to opening/creating the database
environment. Because the setting is not persistent,
you may need to invoke it before every database open,
or define compile option
<code class="literal">BDBSQL_OMIT_SHARING</code> instead.
</p>
<p>
For more information, see <a href="../programmer_reference/env_region.html" class="olink">Shared memory region</a>. Note that this
pragma causes the <a href="../api_reference/C/envopen.html#envopen_DB_PRIVATE" class="olink">DB_PRIVATE</a> flag to be specified in
the <a href="../api_reference/C/envopen.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->open()</a> method.

</div>
<pre class="programlisting">PRAGMA bdbsql_system_memory [base segment ID]</pre>
<p>
Queries or sets a flag that causes the database's
shared resources to be created in system shared
memory. By default the database's shared resources
are created in file-backed shared memory.
</p>
<p>
If a [base segment ID] is specified, the shared
resources will be created using X/Open style shared
memory interfaces. The [base segment ID] will be
used as the starting ID for shared resources used
by the database. Use different [base segment ID]
values for different databases. It is possible for
multi-process applications to use a single database
by specifying the same [base segment ID] to this
PRAGMA. Each connection needs to set this PRAGMA.
</p>
<p>
This PRAGMA may be used to set a [base segment ID]
only before the first table is created in the
database.

<pre class="programlisting">PRAGMA bdbsql_vacuum_fillpercent [= N]</pre>
<p>
Sets or reports the page full threshold.
Any page in the database that is at or below this
percentage full is considered for vacuuming when
<code class="literal">PRAGMA incremental_vacuum</code> is
enabled. The value is specified as a percentage
between 1 and 100. By default, pages 85% full and
below are considered for vacuuming.

<p>
Sets or reports the maximum number of pages to be
returned to the file system from the free page list
when incremental vacuuming is enabled. By
default, up to 128 pages are removed from the free
list.
</p>
<p>
Page vacuuming is controlled using
<a class="xref" href="changedpragmas.html#auto_vacuum" title="PRAGMA auto_vacuum">PRAGMA auto_vacuum</a>.

<pre class="programlisting">PRAGMA large_record_opt [= number bytes]</pre>
<p>
Enables optimized storage of large records. Any record
larger than the given number of bytes will be stored in
a new format that improves read and write performance
for large records.
</p>
<p>
This pragma must be called before any data is added to
the database, otherwise it will be ignored.
</p>
<p>
This optimization is incompatible with encryption, and
<code class="literal">SQLITE_ReadUncommitted</code>.
</p>
<p>
This optimization stores large records in a folder
called <code class="literal">__db_bl</code> in the journal folder.
So if the database is manually moved to a new location,
the folder with the large records most also be moved.
The Online Backup Function will automatically backup up
these records with the rest of the database.

your application's runtime after your database tables

<p>
Ensures that at least the specified percentage of
pages in the shared cache are clean. This can cause
pages that have been modified to be flushed to
disk.
</p>
<p>
The trickle functionality enables an application to
ensure that a page is available for reading new
information into the shared cache without waiting
for a write operation to complete.
