<b>Description: DbSequence::get</b>
|
|
<p>The DbSequence::get method returns the next available element in the sequence
|
|
and changes the sequence value by <b>delta</b>. The value of
|
|
<b>delta</b> must be greater than zero. If there are enough cached
|
|
values in the sequence handle then they will be returned. Otherwise the
|
|
next value will be fetched from the database and incremented
|
|
(decremented) by enough to cover the <b>delta</b> and the next batch
|
|
of cached values.</p>
|
|
<p>For maximum concurrency a non-zero cache size should be specified prior
|
|
to opening the sequence handle and <a href="../api_cxx/env_set_flags.html#DB_TXN_NOSYNC">DB_TXN_NOSYNC</a> should be
|
|
specified for each DbSequence::get method call.</p>
|
|
<p>By default, sequence ranges do not wrap; to cause the sequence to wrap
|
|
around the beginning or end of its range, specify the <a href="../api_cxx/seq_set_flags.html#DB_SEQ_WRAP">DB_SEQ_WRAP</a>
|
|
flag to the <a href="../api_cxx/seq_set_flags.html">DbSequence::set_flags</a> method.</p>
|
|
<p>The DbSequence::get method will return EINVAL if the record in the database is not a valid sequence
|
|
record, or the sequence has reached the beginning or end of its range
|
|
and is not configured to wrap.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
|
|
<b>delta</b><ul compact><li>Specifies the amount to increment or decrement the sequence.</ul>
|
|
<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_TXN_NOSYNC">DB_TXN_NOSYNC</a></b><ul compact><li>If the operation is implicitly transaction protected (the <b>txnid</b>
|
|
argument is NULL but the operation occurs to a transactional database),
|
|
do not synchronously flush the log when the transaction commits.</ul>
|
|
<br></ul>
|
|
<b>retp</b><ul compact><li><b>retp</b> points to the memory to hold the return value from
|
|
the sequence.</ul>
|
|
<b>txnid</b><ul compact><li>If the operation is part of an application-specified transaction, the
|
|
<b>txnid</b> parameter is a transaction handle returned from
|
|
<a href="../api_cxx/txn_begin.html">DbEnv::txn_begin</a>; if the operation is part of a Berkeley DB Concurrent Data Store group, the
|
|
<b>txnid</b> parameter is a handle returned from
|
|
<a href="../api_cxx/env_cdsgroup_begin.html">DbEnv::cdsgroup_begin</a>; otherwise NULL.
|
|
If no transaction handle is
|
|
specified, but the
|
|
operation occurs in a transactional
|
|
database,
|
|
the operation will be implicitly transaction protected.
|
|
No <b>txnid</b> handle may be specified if the sequence handle was
|
|
opened with a non-zero cache size.
|
|
<p>If the underlying database handle was opened in a transaction, calling
|
|
DbSequence::get may result in changes to the sequence object; these
|
|
changes will be automatically committed in a transaction internal to the
|
|
Berkeley DB library. If the thread of control calling DbSequence::get has
|
|
an active transaction, which holds locks on the same database as the
|
|
one in which the sequence object is stored, it is possible for a thread
|
|
of control calling DbSequence::get to self-deadlock because the active
|
|
transaction's locks conflict with the internal transaction's locks.
|
|
For this reason, it is often preferable for sequence objects to be
|
|
stored in their own database.</p></ul>
