<p>
DB is sometimes used for applications that simply need to cache
data retrieved from some other location (such as a remote database
server). DB is also often used in embedded systems.
</p>
<p>
In both cases, applications may still want to use transactions for
atomicity, consistency, and isolation guarantees, but they may want
to forgo the durability guarantee entirely. That is, they may want
their DB environment and databases kept entirely in-memory so
as to avoid the performance impact of unneeded disk I/O.
</p>
<p>
To do this:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Refrain from specifying a home directory when you open your
environment. The exception to this is if you are using the
<tt class="literal">DB_CONFIG</tt> configuration file — in
that case you must identify the environment's home
directory so that the configuration file can be found.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Configure your environment to back your regions from
system memory instead of the filesystem.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Configure your logging subsystem such that log files are kept
entirely in-memory.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Increase the size of your in-memory log buffer so that it
is large enough to hold the largest set of concurrent write operations.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Increase the size of your in-memory cache so that it can
hold your entire data set. You do not want your cache to
page to disk.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Do not specify a file name when you open your database(s).
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
As an example, this section takes the transaction example provided
in <a href="txnexample_java.html">Base API Transaction Example</a>
and it updates that example so that the environment, database, log
files, and regions are all kept entirely in-memory.
</p>
<p>
For illustration purposes, we also modify this example so that
uncommitted reads are no longer used to enable the <tt class="methodname">countRecords()</tt>
method. Instead, we simply provide a transaction handle to
<tt class="methodname">countRecords()</tt> so as to avoid the
self-deadlock.
</p>
<p>
The majority of the modifications to the original example are performed in the <tt class="classname">TxnGuide</tt>
example class (see <a href="txnexample_java.html#txnguideexample">TxnGuide.java</a>).
This is because the majority of the work that we need to do is performed when the environment and
databases are opened.
</p>
<p>
To begin, we simplify the beginning of the class a bit. We eliminate some variables that the example no longer
needs — specifically variables having to do with the location of the environment and the names of the
database files.
We can also remove our <tt class="function">usage()</tt> method because we no
longer require any command line arguments.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">// File TxnGuideInMemory.java
package db.txn;
import com.sleepycat.bind.serial.StoredClassCatalog;
import com.sleepycat.db.Database;
import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseConfig;
import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseType;

// DB handles
private static Database myDb = null;
private static Database myClassDb = null;
private static Environment myEnv = null;
private static final int NUMTHREADS = 5; </pre>
<p>
Next, in our <tt class="function">main()</tt> method, we
remove the call to <tt class="methodname">parseArgs()</tt> because that only existed in the previous example for
collecting the environment home location. Everything else is essentially the same.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
// Open the environment and databases
openEnv();
// Get our class catalog (used to serialize objects)
StoredClassCatalog classCatalog =
new StoredClassCatalog(myClassDb);
// Start the threads
DBWriter[] threadArray;
threadArray = new DBWriter[NUMTHREADS];
for (int i = 0; i &lt; NUMTHREADS; i++) {
threadArray[i] = new DBWriter(myEnv, myDb, classCatalog);
threadArray[i].start();
}
for (int i = 0; i &lt; NUMTHREADS; i++) {
threadArray[i].join();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("<b class="userinput"><tt>TxnGuideInMemory</tt></b>: " + e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
closeEnv();
}
System.out.println("All done.");
} </pre>
<p>
Next we open our environment as always. However, in doing so we:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Set <tt class="methodname">EnvironmentConfig.setPrivate()</tt>
to <tt class="literal">true</tt>.
This causes our environment to back regions using our
application's heap memory rather than by using the filesystem.
This is the first important step to keeping our DB data
entirely in-memory.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Remove <tt class="methodname">runRecovery()</tt>
from the environment configuration. Because all our data will be held entirely in memory, recovery is a
non-issue. Note that if we had left the call to <tt class="methodname">runRecovery()</tt>
in, it would be silently ignored.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<pre class="programlisting"> private static void openEnv() throws DatabaseException {
System.out.println("opening env");
// Set up the environment.
EnvironmentConfig myEnvConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
<b class="userinput"><tt>// Region files are not backed by the filesystem, they are
// backed by heap memory.
myEnvConfig.setPrivate(true);</tt></b>
myEnvConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
myEnvConfig.setInitializeCache(true);
myEnvConfig.setInitializeLocking(true);
myEnvConfig.setInitializeLogging(true);
myEnvConfig.setTransactional(true);
// EnvironmentConfig.setThreaded(true) is the default behavior
// in Java, so we do not have to do anything to cause the
// environment handle to be free-threaded.
// Indicate that we want db to internally perform deadlock
// detection. Also indicate that the transaction that has
// performed the least amount of write activity to
// receive the deadlock notification, if any.
myEnvConfig.setLockDetectMode(LockDetectMode.MINWRITE); </pre>
<p>
Now we configure our environment to keep the log files in memory,
increase the log buffer size to 10 MB, and increase our in-memory
cache to 10 MB. These values should be more than enough for our
application's workload.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
<b class="userinput">
<tt> // Specify in-memory logging
myEnvConfig.setLogInMemory(true);
// Specify the size of the in-memory log buffer
// Must be large enough to handle the log data created by
// the largest transaction.
myEnvConfig.setLogBufferSize(10 * 1024 * 1024);
// Specify the size of the in-memory cache
// Set it large enough so that it won't page.
myEnvConfig.setCacheSize(10 * 1024 * 1024); </tt>
</b>
</pre>
<p>
Our database configuration is identical to the original example, except that we do not specify
<tt class="methodname">setReadUncomitted()</tt> here. We will be causing our <tt class="methodname">countRecords()</tt>
method to join the transaction rather than perform uncommitted reads, so we do not need our database to support them.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> // Set up the database
DatabaseConfig myDbConfig = new DatabaseConfig();
myDbConfig.setType(DatabaseType.BTREE);
myDbConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
myDbConfig.setTransactional(true);
myDbConfig.setSortedDuplicates(true);
// no DatabaseConfig.setThreaded() method available.
// db handles in java are free-threaded so long as the
// env is also free-threaded. </pre>
<p>
Next, we open the environment. This is
identical to how the example previously worked, except that we do not
provide a location for the environment's home directory.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> try {
// Open the environment
myEnv = new Environment(<b class="userinput"><tt>null</tt></b>, // Env home
myEnvConfig); </pre>
<p>
When we open our databases, we also specify <tt class="literal">null</tt> for the file names. The causes the database
to not be backed by the filesystem; that is, the databases are held entirely in memory.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> // Open the database. Do not provide a txn handle. This open
// is auto committed because DatabaseConfig.setTransactional()
// is true.
myDb = myEnv.openDatabase(null, // txn handle
<b class="userinput"><tt>null</tt></b>, // Database file name
null, // Database name
myDbConfig);
// Used by the bind API for serializing objects
// Class database must not support duplicates
myDbConfig.setSortedDuplicates(false);
myClassDb = myEnv.openDatabase(null, // txn handle
<b class="userinput"><tt>null</tt></b>, // Database file name
null, // Database name,
myDbConfig);
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
System.err.println("openEnv: " + fnfe.toString());
System.exit(-1);
}
} </pre>
<p>
After that, our class is unchanged, except for some very minor modifications.
Most notably, we remove the <tt class="methodname">parseArgs()</tt>
method from the application, because we no longer need it.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> private static void closeEnv() {
System.out.println("Closing env");
if (myDb != null ) {
try {
myDb.close();
} catch (DatabaseException e) {
System.err.println("closeEnv: myDb: " +
e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
if (myClassDb != null ) {
try {
myClassDb.close();
} catch (DatabaseException e) {
System.err.println("closeEnv: myClassDb: " +
e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
if (myEnv != null ) {
try {
myEnv.close();
} catch (DatabaseException e) {
System.err.println("closeEnv: " + e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
<b class="userinput"><tt>private TxnGuideInMemory() {}</tt></b>
} </pre>
<p>
That completes our modifications to this class.
We now turn our attention to our <tt class="classname">DBWriter</tt>
class (see <a href="txnexample_java.html#dbwriter">DBWriter.java</a>).
It is unchanged, except for one small modification. In the
<tt class="methodname">run()</tt> method, we call <tt class="methodname">countRecords()</tt>
with a transaction handle, rather than configuring our entire
application for uncommitted reads. Both mechanisms work well-enough
for preventing a self-deadlock. However, the individual count
in this example will tend to be lower than the counts seen in
the previous transaction example, because
<tt class="function">countRecords()</tt> can no longer see records
created but not yet committed by other threads.
Additionally, the usage of the transaction handle here will
probably cause more deadlocks than using read-uncommitted does, because more locking is being performed in
this case.

<p>
Next we update <tt class="methodname">countRecords()</tt>. The only difference
here is that we no longer specify <tt class="methodname">CursorConfig.setReadUncomitted()</tt> when
we open our cursor. Note that even this minor change is not required.
If we do not configure our database to support uncommitted reads,
<tt class="methodname">CursorConfig.setReadUncomitted()</tt> is silently
ignored. However, we remove the property anyway from the cursor open so as to
avoid confusion.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> // This simply counts the number of records contained in the
// database and returns the result. You can use this method
// in three ways:
//
// First call it with an active txn handle.
// Secondly, configure the cursor for uncommitted reads

//
// If you do none of these things, the writer thread will
// self-deadlock.
//
// Note that this method exists only for illustrative purposes.
// A more straight-forward way to count the number of records in

private int countRecords(Transaction txn) throws DatabaseException {

DatabaseEntry data = new DatabaseEntry();
int count = 0;

}

This completes our in-memory transactional example. If you would like to
experiment with this code, you can find the example in the following
