`

###

    #include <db.h>

    int
    DB->set_bt_minkey(DB *db, u_int32_t bt_minkey);

    int
    DB->get_bt_minkey(DB *db, u_int32_t *bt_minkeyp);

### Description: DB->set_bt_minkey

Set the minimum number of key/data pairs intended to be stored on any single Btree leaf page.

This value is used to determine if key or data items will be stored on overflow pages instead of Btree leaf pages. For more information on the specific algorithm used, see Minimum keys per page. The bt_minkey value specified must be at least 2; if bt_minkey is not explicitly set, a value of 2 is used.

The DB->set_bt_minkey method configures a database, not only operations performed using the specified DB handle.

The DB->set_bt_minkey method may not be called after the DB->open method is called. If the database already exists when DB->open is called, the information specified to DB->set_bt_minkey will be ignored.

The DB->set_bt_minkey method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

### Parameters

bt_minkey
  The bt_minkey parameter is the minimum number of key/data pairs intended to be stored on any single Btree leaf page.

### Errors

The DB->set_bt_minkey method may fail and return one of the following non-zero errors:

EINVAL
  If the method was called after DB->open was called; or if an invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

### Description: DB->get_bt_minkey

The DB->get_bt_minkey method returns the minimum number of key/data pairs intended to be stored on any single Btree leaf page.

The DB->get_bt_minkey method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

The DB->get_bt_minkey method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

### Parameters

bt_minkeyp
  The DB->get_bt_minkey method returns the minimum number of key/data pairs intended to be stored on any single Btree leaf page in bt_minkeyp.
