Retrieving Items by Index Key

<p>
Retrieving information via database index keys can be
accomplished using the standard Java collections API, using a
collection created from a
<a href="../../java/com/sleepycat/db/SecondaryDatabase.html" target="_top">SecondaryDatabase</a>
rather than a
<span>
<a href="../../java/com/sleepycat/db/Database.html" target="_top">Database</a>.
</span>
However, the standard Java API does not support <span class="emphasis"><em>duplicate keys</em></span>: more
than one element in a collection having the same key. All three
indices created in the prior section have duplicate keys because of
the nature of the city, part number and supplier number index keys.
More than one supplier may be in the same city, and more than one
shipment may have the same part number or supplier number. This
section describes how to use extended methods for stored
collections to return all values for a given key.
</p>
<p>
Using the standard Java collections API, the
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#get" target="_top">Map.get</a>
method for a stored collection with duplicate keys will return only
the first value for a given key. To obtain all values for a given
key, the
<a href="../../java/com/sleepycat/collections/StoredMap.html#duplicates(java.lang.Object)" target="_top">StoredMap.duplicates</a>
method may be called. This returns a
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Collection.html" target="_top">Collection</a>
of values for the given key. If duplicate keys are not allowed, the
returned collection will have at most one value. If the key is not
present in the map, an empty collection is returned.
</p>
<p>
The <tt class="classname">Sample</tt> class is extended to retrieve duplicates for
specific index keys that are present in the database.
</p>
<a id="index_sampleviewsprintdatabase"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">import java.util.Iterator;
...
public class Sample
{
...
private SampleViews views;
...
private class PrintDatabase implements TransactionWorker
{
public void doWork()
throws Exception
{
printEntries("Parts",
views.getPartEntrySet().iterator());
printEntries("Suppliers",
views.getSupplierEntrySet().iterator());
<b class="userinput"><tt> printValues("Suppliers for City Paris",
views.getSupplierByCityMap().duplicates(
"Paris").iterator());</tt></b>
printEntries("Shipments",
views.getShipmentEntrySet().iterator());
<b class="userinput"><tt> printValues("Shipments for Part P1",
views.getShipmentByPartMap().duplicates(
new PartKey("P1")).iterator());
printValues("Shipments for Supplier S1",
views.getShipmentBySupplierMap().duplicates(
new
SupplierKey("S1")).iterator());</tt></b>
}
}
<b class="userinput"><tt> private void printValues(String label, Iterator iterator)
{
System.out.println("\n--- " + label + " ---");
while (iterator.hasNext())
{
System.out.println(iterator.next().toString());
}
} </tt></b>
...
} </pre>
<p>
The
<a href="../../java/com/sleepycat/collections/StoredMap.html#duplicates(java.lang.Object)" target="_top">StoredMap.duplicates</a>
method is called passing the desired key. The returned value is a
standard Java
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Collection.html" target="_top">Collection</a>
containing the values for the specified key. A standard Java
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Iterator.html" target="_top">Iterator</a>
is then obtained for this collection and all values returned by
that iterator are printed.
</p>
<p>
Another technique for retrieving duplicates is to use the
collection returned by
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#entrySet" target="_top">Map.entrySet</a>.
When duplicate keys are present, a
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.Entry.html" target="_top">Map.Entry</a>
object will be present in this collection for each duplicate. This
collection can then be iterated or a subset can be created from it,
all using the standard Java collection API.
</p>
<p>
Note that we did not discuss how duplicates keys can be
explicitly added or removed in a collection. For index keys, the
addition and deletion of duplicate keys happens automatically when
records containing the index key are added, updated, or
removed.
</p>
<p>
While not shown in the example program, it is also possible to
create a store with duplicate keys in the same way as an index with
duplicate keys — by calling
<tt class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setSortedDuplicates()</tt> method. In that case,
calling
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#put" target="_top">Map.put</a>
will add duplicate keys. To remove all duplicate keys, call
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#remove" target="_top">Map.remove</a>.
To remove a specific duplicate key, call
<a href="../../java/com/sleepycat/collections/StoredMap.html#duplicates(java.lang.Object)" target="_top">StoredMap.duplicates</a>
and then call
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Collection.html#remove" target="_top">Collection.remove</a>
using the returned collection. Duplicate
values may also be added to this collection using
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Collection.html#add" target="_top"> Collection.add</a>.
