    import com.sleepycat.db.*;

    public void set_re_pad(int re_pad)
    	throws DbException;

# Description

Set the padding character for short, fixed-length records for the Queue and Recno access methods.

If no pad character is specified, <space> characters (i.e., ASCII 0x20) are used for padding.

The Db.set_re_pad interface may only be used to configure Berkeley DB before the Db.open interface is called.

The Db.set_re_pad method throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure.

# Errors

EINVAL
  An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

  Called after Db.open was called.
