<b>Description: DbSequence::set_flags</b>
<p>Configure a sequence. The flags are only effective when creating a
sequence. Calling DbSequence::set_flags is additive; there is no way
to clear flags.</p>
<p>The DbSequence::set_flags method may not be called after the
<a href="../api_cxx/seq_open.html">DbSequence::open</a> method is called.</p>
<p>The DbSequence::set_flags 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.
</p>
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
<b>flags</b><ul compact><li>The <b>flags</b> parameter must be set to 0 or by bitwise inclusively <b>OR</b>'ing together one
or more of the following values:
<br>
<b><a name="DB_SEQ_DEC">DB_SEQ_DEC</a></b><ul compact><li>Specify that the sequence should be decremented.</ul>
<br>
<br>
<b><a name="DB_SEQ_INC">DB_SEQ_INC</a></b><ul compact><li>Specify that the sequence should be incremented. This is the default.</ul>
<br>
<br>
<b><a name="DB_SEQ_WRAP">DB_SEQ_WRAP</a></b><ul compact><li>Specify that the sequence should wrap around when it is incremented
(decremented) past the specified maximum (minimum) value.</ul>
<br></ul>
<br>
<br><b>Errors</b>
<p>The DbSequence::set_flags method
may fail and throw
<a href="../api_cxx/except_class.html">DbException</a>,
encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of
the following non-zero errors:</p>
<br>
<b>EINVAL</b><ul compact><li>An
invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul>
<br>
<hr size=1 noshade>
<b>Description: DbSequence::get_flags</b>
<p>The DbSequence::get_flags method returns the current flags.</p>
<p>The DbSequence::get_flags method may be called at any time during the life of the
application.</p>
<p>The DbSequence::get_flags 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.
</p>
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
<b>flagsp</b><ul compact><li>The DbSequence::get_flags method returns the
current flags in <b>flagsp</b>.</ul>
