Note that you cannot change a record's key using this method; the key
|
||
parameter is always ignored when you replace a record.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When replacing the data portion of a record, if you are replacing a
|
||
record that is a member of a sorted duplicates set, then the replacement
|
||
will be successful only if the new record sorts identically to the old
|
||
record. This means that if you are replacing a record that is a member
|
||
of a sorted duplicates set, and if you are using the default
|
||
lexicographic sort, then the replacement will fail due to violating the
|
||
sort order. However, if you
|
||
provide a custom sort routine that, for example, sorts based on just a
|
||
few bytes out of the data item, then potentially you can perform
|
||
a direct replacement and still not violate the restrictions described
|
||
here.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span>Under these circumstances, if</span>
|
||
|
||
you want to replace the data contained by a duplicate record,
|
||
<span>
|
||
and you are not using a custom sort routine, then
|
||
</span>
|
||
delete the record and create a new record with the desired key and data.
