<p>
You can use cursors to put records into the database. DB's behavior
when putting records into the database differs depending on the flags
that you use when writing the record, on the access method that you are
using, and on whether your database supports sorted duplicates.
</p>
<p>
Note that when putting records to the database using a cursor, the
cursor is positioned at the record you inserted.
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Cursor.putNoDupData()</code>
</p>
<p>
If the provided key already exists
in the database, then this method returns
<code class="literal">OperationStatus.KEYEXIST</code>.
</p>
<p>
If the key does not exist, then the order that the record is put into the database
is determined by the
<span>
insertion order in use by the database. If a comparison
function has been provided to the database, the record is
inserted in its sorted location. Otherwise (assuming BTree),
lexicographical sorting is used, with
shorter items collating before longer items.
</span>
</p>
<p>
This flag can only be used for the BTree and Hash access methods,
and only if the database has been configured to support sorted
duplicate data items (<code class="literal">DB_DUPSORT</code> was specified at
database creation time).
</p>
<p>
This flag cannot be used with the Queue or Recno access methods.
</p>
<p>
For more information on duplicate records, see
<a class="xref" href="btree.html#duplicateRecords" title="Allowing Duplicate Records">Allowing Duplicate Records</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Cursor.putNoOverwrite()</code>
</p>
<p>
If the provided key already exists
in the database, then this method returns
.
</p>
<p>
If the key does not exist, then the order that the record is put into the database
is determined by the BTree (key) comparator in use by the database.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Cursor.putKeyFirst()</code>
</p>
<p>
For databases that do not support duplicates, this method behaves
<span>
exactly the same as if a default insertion was performed.
</span>
If the database supports duplicate records,
<span>
and a duplicate sort function has been specified, the
inserted data item is added in its sorted location. If
the key already exists in the database and no duplicate
sort function has been specified, the inserted data item
is added as the first of the data items for that key.
</span>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Cursor.putKeyLast()</code>
</p>
<p>
Behaves exactly as if
<code class="methodname">Cursor.putKeyFirst()</code>
was used, except that if the key already exists in the database and no
duplicate sort function has been specified, the
inserted data item is added as the last of the data
items for that key.
</p>
</li>
</ul>

<pre class="programlisting">package db.GettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.db.Cursor;

import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseEntry;

// Create the data to put into the database
String key1str = "My first string";
String data1str = "My first data";
String key2str = "My second string";
String data2str = "My second data";
String data3str = "My third data";
Cursor cursor = null;
Database myDatabase = null;
try {
...
// Database open omitted for brevity
...
DatabaseEntry key1 = new DatabaseEntry(key1str.getBytes("UTF-8"));
DatabaseEntry data1 = new DatabaseEntry(data1str.getBytes("UTF-8"));
DatabaseEntry key2 = new DatabaseEntry(key2str.getBytes("UTF-8"));
DatabaseEntry data2 = new DatabaseEntry(data2str.getBytes("UTF-8"));
DatabaseEntry data3 = new DatabaseEntry(data3str.getBytes("UTF-8"));
// Open a cursor using a database handle
cursor = myDatabase.openCursor(null, null);
// Assuming an empty database.
OperationStatus retVal = cursor.put(key1, data1); // SUCCESS
retVal = cursor.put(key2, data2); // SUCCESS
retVal = cursor.put(key2, data3); // SUCCESS if dups allowed,
// KEYEXIST if not.
} catch (Exception e) {
// Exception handling goes here
} finally {
// Make sure to close the cursor
cursor.close();
