public class Cursor

extends Object

A database cursor. Cursors are used for operating on collections of records, for iterating over a database, and for saving handles to individual records, so that they can be modified after they have been read.

Cursors may be used by multiple threads, but only serially. That is, the application must serialize access to the handle.

If the cursor is to be used to perform operations on behalf of a transaction, the cursor must be opened and closed within the context of that single transaction.

Once the cursor close method has been called, the handle may not be accessed again, regardless of the close method's success or failure.

To obtain a cursor with default attributes:

    Cursor cursor = myDatabase.openCursor(txn, null);

To customize the attributes of a cursor, use a CursorConfig object.

    CursorConfig config = new CursorConfig();
    config.setDirtyRead(true);
    Cursor cursor = myDatabase.openCursor(txn, config);

Modifications to the database during a sequential scan will be reflected in the scan; that is, records inserted behind a cursor will not be returned while records inserted in front of a cursor will be returned. In Queue and Recno databases, missing entries (that is, entries that were never explicitly created or that were created and then deleted) will be ignored during a sequential scan.

Method Detail

getDatabase

public Database getDatabase()

Return the Database handle associated with this Cursor.

Returns:

The Database handle associated with this Cursor.

getConfig

public CursorConfig getConfig()

Return this cursor's configuration.

This may differ from the configuration used to open this object if the cursor existed previously.

Returns:

This cursor's configuration.

Throws:

DatabaseException - if a failure occurs.

close

public void close()
           throws DatabaseException

Discard the cursor.

This method may throw a DeadlockException, signaling the enclosing transaction should be aborted. If the application is already intending to abort the transaction, this error can be ignored, and the application should proceed.

The cursor handle may not be used again after this method has been called, regardless of the method's success or failure.

Throws:

DatabaseException - if a failure occurs.

count

public int count()
          throws DatabaseException

Return a count of the number of data items for the key to which the cursor refers.

Returns:

A count of the number of data items for the key to which the cursor refers.

Throws:

DeadlockException - if the operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.

DatabaseException - if a failure occurs.

dup

public Cursor dup(boolean samePosition)
           throws DatabaseException

Return a new cursor with the same transaction and locker ID as the original cursor.

This is useful when an application is using locking and requires two or more cursors in the same thread of control.

Parameters:

samePosition - If true, the newly created cursor is initialized to refer to the same position in the database as the original cursor (if any) and hold the same locks (if any). If false, or the original cursor does not hold a database position and locks, the returned cursor is uninitialized and will behave like a newly created cursor.

Returns:

A new cursor with the same transaction and locker ID as the original cursor.

Throws:

DatabaseException - if a failure occurs.

delete

public OperationStatus delete()
                       throws DatabaseException

Delete the key/data pair to which the cursor refers.

When called on a cursor opened on a database that has been made into a secondary index, this method the key/data pair from the primary database and all secondary indices.

The cursor position is unchanged after a delete, and subsequent calls to cursor functions expecting the cursor to refer to an existing key will fail.

Throws:

DeadlockException - if the operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.

DatabaseException - if a failure occurs.

put

public OperationStatus put(DatabaseEntry key,
                           DatabaseEntry data)
                    throws DatabaseException

Store a key/data pair into the database.

If the put method succeeds, the cursor is always positioned to refer to the newly inserted item. If the put method fails for any reason, the state of the cursor will be unchanged.

If the key already appears in the database and duplicates are supported, the new data value is inserted at the correct sorted location. If the key already appears in the database and duplicates are not supported, the existing key/data pair will be replaced.

Parameters:

key - the key DatabaseEntry operated on.

data - the data DatabaseEntry stored.

Throws:

DeadlockException - if the operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.

IllegalArgumentException - if an invalid parameter was specified.

DatabaseException - if a failure occurs.

                                      DatabaseEntry data)
                               throws DatabaseException

Store a key/data pair into the database.

If the putNoOverwrite method succeeds, the cursor is always positioned to refer to the newly inserted item. If the putNoOverwrite method fails for any reason, the state of the cursor will be unchanged.

If the key already appears in the database, putNoOverwrite will return OperationStatus.KEYEXIST.

Parameters:

In the case of the Btree and Hash access methods, insert the data element as a duplicate element of the key to which the cursor refers. The new element appears immediately after the current cursor position. It is an error to call this method if the underlying Btree or Hash database does not support duplicate data items. The key parameter is ignored.

In the case of the Hash access method, the putAfter method will fail and throw an exception if the current cursor record has already been deleted.

In the case of the Recno access method, it is an error to call this method if the underlying Recno database was not configured to have mutable record numbers.

NullPointerException - if a DatabaseEntry parameter is null or does not contain a required non-null byte array.

DeadlockException - if the operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.

IllegalArgumentException - if an invalid parameter was specified.

DatabaseException - if a failure occurs.

getSearchKeyRange

public OperationStatus getSearchKeyRange(DatabaseEntry key,
                                         DatabaseEntry data,
                                         LockMode lockMode)
                                  throws DatabaseException

Move the cursor to the closest matching key of the database, and return the data item associated with the matching key. If the matching key has duplicate values, the first data item in the set of duplicates is returned.

The returned key/data pair is for the smallest key greater than or equal to the specified key (as determined by the key comparison function), permitting partial key matches and range searches.

If this method fails for any reason, the position of the cursor will be unchanged.

Parameters:

key - the key used as input and returned as output. It must be initialized with a non-null byte array by the caller.

data - the data returned as output. Multiple results can be retrieved by passing an object that is a subclass of MultipleEntry, otherwise its byte array does not need to be initialized by the caller.

lockMode - the locking attributes; if null, default attributes are used.

Returns:

OperationStatus.NOTFOUND if no matching key/data pair is found; otherwise, OperationStatus.SUCCESS.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if a DatabaseEntry parameter is null or does not contain a required non-null byte array.

DeadlockException - if the operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.

IllegalArgumentException - if an invalid parameter was specified.

DatabaseException - if a failure occurs.

getSearchBoth

public OperationStatus getSearchBoth(DatabaseEntry key,
                                     DatabaseEntry data,
                                     LockMode lockMode)
                              throws DatabaseException

Move the cursor to the specified key/data pair, where both the key and data items must match.

If this method fails for any reason, the position of the cursor will be unchanged.

Parameters:

key - the key used as input. It must be initialized with a non-null byte array by the caller.

data - the data used as input. It must be initialized with a non-null byte array by the caller.

lockMode - the locking attributes; if null, default attributes are used.

Returns:

OperationStatus.NOTFOUND if no matching key/data pair is found; otherwise, OperationStatus.SUCCESS.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if a DatabaseEntry parameter is null or does not contain a required non-null byte array.

DeadlockException - if the operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.

IllegalArgumentException - if an invalid parameter was specified.

DatabaseException - if a failure occurs.

getSearchBothRange

public OperationStatus getSearchBothRange(DatabaseEntry key,
                                          DatabaseEntry data,
                                          LockMode lockMode)
                                   throws DatabaseException

Move the cursor to the specified key and closest matching data item of the database.

In the case of any database supporting sorted duplicate sets, the returned key/data pair is for the smallest data item greater than or equal to the specified data item (as determined by the duplicate comparison function), permitting partial matches and range searches in duplicate data sets.

If this method fails for any reason, the position of the cursor will be unchanged.

Parameters:

key - the key used as input and returned as output. It must be initialized with a non-null byte array by the caller.

data - the data used as input and returned as output. It must be initialized with a non-null byte array by the caller.

lockMode - the locking attributes; if null, default attributes are used.

Returns:

OperationStatus.NOTFOUND if no matching key/data pair is found; otherwise, OperationStatus.SUCCESS.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if a DatabaseEntry parameter is null or does not contain a required non-null byte array.

DeadlockException - if the operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.

IllegalArgumentException - if an invalid parameter was specified.

DatabaseException - if a failure occurs.

getRecordNumber

public OperationStatus getRecordNumber(DatabaseEntry data,
                                       LockMode lockMode)
                                throws DatabaseException

Return the record number associated with the cursor. The record number will be returned in the data parameter.

For this method to be called, the underlying database must be of type Btree, and it must have been configured to support record numbers.

If this method fails for any reason, the position of the cursor will be unchanged.

Parameters:

data - the data returned as output. Its byte array does not need to be initialized by the caller.

lockMode - the locking attributes; if null, default attributes are used.

Returns:

OperationStatus.NOTFOUND if no matching key/data pair is found; otherwise, OperationStatus.SUCCESS.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if a DatabaseEntry parameter is null or does not contain a required non-null byte array.

DeadlockException - if the operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.

IllegalArgumentException - if an invalid parameter was specified.

DatabaseException - if a failure occurs.

getSearchRecordNumber

public OperationStatus getSearchRecordNumber(DatabaseEntry key,
                                             DatabaseEntry data,
                                             LockMode lockMode)
                                      throws DatabaseException

Move the cursor to the specific numbered record of the database, and return the associated key/data pair.

The data field of the specified key must be a byte array containing a record number, as described in DatabaseEntry. This determines the record to be retrieved.

For this method to be called, the underlying database must be of type Btree, and it must have been configured to support record numbers.

If this method fails for any reason, the position of the cursor will be unchanged.

Parameters:

key - the key returned as output. Its byte array does not need to be initialized by the caller.

data - the data returned as output. Multiple results can be retrieved by passing an object that is a subclass of MultipleEntry, otherwise its byte array does not need to be initialized by the caller.

lockMode - the locking attributes; if null, default attributes are used.

Returns:

OperationStatus.NOTFOUND if no matching key/data pair is found; otherwise, OperationStatus.SUCCESS.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if a DatabaseEntry parameter is null or does not contain a required non-null byte array.

DeadlockException - if the operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.

IllegalArgumentException - if an invalid parameter was specified.

DatabaseException - if a failure occurs.
