Like a primary database, you can read records from your secondary
|
||
database either by using the
|
||
<span>
|
||
<tt class="methodname">SecondaryDatabase.get()</tt> method,
|
||
</span>
|
||
|
||
or by using
|
||
<span>a <tt class="classname">SecondaryCursor</tt>.</span>
|
||
|
||
|
||
The main difference between reading secondary and primary databases is that when
|
||
you read a secondary database record, the secondary record's data is not
|
||
returned to you. Instead, the primary key and data corresponding to the
|
||
secondary key are returned to you.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
For example, assuming your secondary database contains keys related
|
||
to a person's full name:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<a id="java_index6"></a>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting">package db.GettingStarted;
|
||
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseEntry;
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.LockMode;
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.OperationStatus;
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.SecondaryDatabase;
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
SecondaryDatabase mySecondaryDatabase = null;
|
||
try {
|
||
// Omitting all database opens
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
String searchName = "John Doe";
|
||
DatabaseEntry searchKey =
|
||
new DatabaseEntry(searchName.getBytes("UTF-8"));
|
||
DatabaseEntry primaryKey = new DatabaseEntry();
|
||
DatabaseEntry primaryData = new DatabaseEntry();
|
||
|
||
// Get the primary key and data for the user 'John Doe'.
|
||
OperationStatus retVal = mySecondaryDatabase.get(null, searchKey,
|
||
primaryKey,
|
||
primaryData,
|
||
LockMode.DEFAULT);
|
||
} catch (Exception e) {
|
||
// Exception handling goes here
|
||
}</pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Note that, just like
|
||
<span><tt class="methodname">Database.get()</tt>, </span>
|
||
|
||
|
||
if your secondary database supports duplicate records then
|
||
<tt class="methodname">SecondaryDatabase.get()</tt>
|
||
|
||
only return the first record found in a matching duplicates set. If you
|
||
want to see all the records related to a specific secondary key, then use a
|
||
<span>
|
||
<tt class="classname">SecondaryCursor</tt> (described in <a href="secondaryCursor.html">
|
||
<span>Using Secondary Cursors</span>
|
||
|
||
</a>).
|
||
</span>
