<p>
Normally when a DB transaction is blocked on a lock request, it
must wait until the requested lock becomes available before its
thread-of-control can proceed. However, it is possible to configure a
transaction handle such that it will report a deadlock rather
than wait for the block to clear.
</p>
<p>
You do this on a transaction by transaction basis by specifying
<span>
<code class="literal">DB_TXN_NOWAIT</code>
to the
<code class="methodname">DbEnv::txn_begin()</code>
method.
</span>
</p>
<p>
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> DbTxn *txn = NULL;
try {
envp-&gt;txn_begin(NULL, &amp;txn, DB_TXN_NOWAIT);
...
} catch (DbException &amp;de) {
// Deadlock detection and exception handling omitted
// for brevity
...</pre>
