Class SecondaryCursor

    java.lang.Object
      com.sleepycat.je.Cursor
          com.sleepycat.je.SecondaryCursor

    public class SecondaryCursor

extends Cursor

A database cursor for a secondary database. Cursors are not thread safe and the application is responsible for coordinating any multithreaded access to a single cursor object.

Secondary cursors are returned by `SecondaryDatabase.openCursor` and `SecondaryDatabase.openSecondaryCursor`. The distinguishing characteristics of a secondary cursor are:

- Direct calls to `put()` methods on a secondary cursor are prohibited.
- The `delete()` method of a secondary cursor will delete the primary record and as well as all its associated secondary records.
- Calls to all get methods will return the data from the associated primary database.
- Additional get method signatures are provided to return the primary key in an additional pKey parameter.
- Calls to `dup(boolean)` will return a `SecondaryCursor`.
- The `dupSecondary(boolean)` method is provided to return a `SecondaryCursor` that doesn't require casting.

To obtain a secondary cursor with default attributes:

>         SecondaryCursor cursor = myDb.openSecondaryCursor(txn, null);

To customize the attributes of a cursor, use a CursorConfig object.

>         CursorConfig config = new CursorConfig();
>         config.setDirtyRead(true);
>         SecondaryCursor cursor = myDb.openSecondaryCursor(txn, config);

Method Detail

### dup

    public Cursor dup(boolean samePosition)
               throws DatabaseException

  Returns a new `SecondaryCursor` for the same transaction as the original cursor.

  Overrides:
    `dup` in class `Cursor`
  Parameters:
    `samePosition` - If true, the newly created cursor is initialized to refer to the same position in the database as the original cursor (if any) and hold the same locks (if any). If false, or the original cursor does not hold a database position and locks, the returned cursor is uninitialized and will behave like a newly created cursor.

  Returns:
    A new cursor with the same transaction and locker ID as the original cursor.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### dupSecondary

    public SecondaryCursor dupSecondary(boolean samePosition)
                                 throws DatabaseException

  Returns a new copy of the cursor as a `SecondaryCursor`.

  Calling this method is the equivalent of calling `dup(boolean)` and casting the result to `SecondaryCursor`.

                                  throws DatabaseException

  Move the cursor to the specified secondary and primary key, where both the primary and secondary key items must match.

  If this method fails for any reason, the position of the cursor will be unchanged.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the secondary key used as input. It must be initialized with a non-null byte array by the caller.
    `pKey` - the primary key used as input. It must be initialized with a non-null byte array by the caller.

    `lockMode` - the locking attributes; if null, default attributes are used.
  Returns:
    `OperationStatus.NOTFOUND` if no matching key/data pair is found; otherwise, `OperationStatus.SUCCESS`.
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if a DatabaseEntry parameter is null or does not contain a required non-null byte array.

    `DeadlockException` - if the operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.

### getSearchBothRange

                                              DatabaseEntry data,
                                              LockMode lockMode)
                                       throws DatabaseException

  Move the cursor to the specified secondary key and closest matching primary key of the database.

  In the case of any database supporting sorted duplicate sets, the returned key/data pair is for the smallest primary key greater than or equal to the specified primary key (as determined by the key comparison function), permitting partial matches and range searches in duplicate data sets.

  If this method fails for any reason, the position of the cursor will be unchanged.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the secondary key used as input and returned as output. It must be initialized with a non-null byte array by the caller.
    `pKey` - the primary key used as input and returned as output. It must be initialized with a non-null byte array by the caller.
    `data` - the primary data returned as output. Its byte array does not need to be initialized by the caller.
    `lockMode` - the locking attributes; if null, default attributes are used.
  Returns:
    `OperationStatus.NOTFOUND` if no matching key/data pair is found; otherwise, `OperationStatus.SUCCESS`.
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if a DatabaseEntry parameter is null or does not contain a required non-null byte array.

    `DeadlockException` - if the operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.

    `IllegalArgumentException` - if an invalid parameter was specified.

    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### getPrimaryDatabase

    public Database getPrimaryDatabase()

  Returns the primary `Database` associated with this cursor.

  Calling this method is the equivalent of the following expression:

  >             ((SecondaryDatabase) this.getDatabase()).getPrimaryDatabase()

  Returns:
    The primary `Database` associated with this cursor.

### delete

    public OperationStatus delete()
                           throws DatabaseException

  Delete the key/data pair to which the cursor refers from the primary database and all secondary indices.

  This method behaves as if `Database.delete(com.sleepycat.je.Transaction, com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry)` were called for the primary database, using the primary key obtained via the secondary key parameter.

  The cursor position is unchanged after a delete, and subsequent calls to cursor functions expecting the cursor to refer to an existing key will fail.

    `DeadlockException` - if the operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.

    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.
