Db.cursor

import com.sleepycat.db.*; public Dbc cursor(DbTxn txnid, int flags) throws DbException; Description The Db.cursor method creates a cursor. If the file is being accessed under transaction protection, the txnid parameter is a transaction ID returned from DbEnv.txn_begin, otherwise, NULL. If transaction protection is enabled, cursors must be opened and closed within the context of a transaction, and the txnid parameter specifies the transaction context in which the cursor may be used. The flags value must be set to 0 or by bitwise inclusively OR'ing together one or more of the following values. Db.DB_WRITECURSOR Specify that the cursor will be used to update the database. This flag should only be set when the Db.DB_INIT_CDB flag was specified to DbEnv.open. The Db.cursor method throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure. Errors The Db.cursor method may fail and throw an exception encapsulating a non-zero error for the following conditions: EINVAL An invalid flag value or parameter was specified. The Db.cursor method may fail and throw an exception for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods. If a catastrophic error has occurred, the Db.cursor method may fail and throw a DbRunRecoveryException, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way.
