Cursors provide a mechanism by which you can iterate over the records in a
|
||
database. Using cursors, you can get, put, and delete database records. If
|
||
a database allows duplicate records, then cursors are
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<span>the easiest way that you can access anything
|
||
other than the first record for a given key.</span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This chapter introduces cursors. It explains how to open and close them, how
|
||
to use them to modify databases, and how to use them with duplicate records.

To use a cursor, you must open it using the <tt class="methodname">Database.openCursor()</tt>
|
||
method. When you open a
|
||
cursor, you can optionally pass it a <tt class="classname">CursorConfig</tt>
|
||
object to set cursor properties.
|
||
|
||
<span>
|
||
The cursor properties that you can set allows you to
|
||
control the isolation level that the cursor will obey. See
|
||
the
|
||
<i class="citetitle">Berkeley DB Getting Started with Transaction Processing</i> guide for more
|
||
information.
|
||
</span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>For example:</p>
|
||
<a id="java_cursor1"></a>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting">package db.GettingStarted;
|
||
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.Cursor;
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.Database;
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseException;
|
||
|
||
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
Database myDatabase = null;
|
||
Cursor myCursor = null;
|
||
|
||
try {
|
||
myDatabase = new Database("myDB", null, null);
|
||
|
||
myCursor = myDatabase.openCursor(null, null);
|
||
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
|
||
// Exception handling goes here ...
|
||
} catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
|
||
// Exception handling goes here ...
|
||
}</pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
To close the cursor, call the <tt class="methodname">Cursor.close()</tt>
|
||
method. Note that if you close a database that has cursors open in it,
|
||
then it will throw an exception and close any open cursors for you.
|
||
For best results, close your cursors from within a
|
||
<tt class="literal">finally</tt> block.
