      <p>
        Just like cursors on a primary database, you can use 
             
            <span>cursors on secondary databases</span> 
        to iterate over the records in a secondary database. Like

          
         <span>cursors used with primary databases,</span> 
        
        you can also use 
          
         <span>cursors with secondary databases</span> 
        to search for specific records in a database, to seek to the first 
        or last record in the database, to get the next duplicate record, 
            
        and so forth. For a complete description on cursors and their capabilities, see
        <a href="Cursors.html">Using Cursors</a>.
    </p>
      <p>
        However, when you use 
             
            <span>cursors with secondary databases:</span> 
    </p>
      <div class="itemizedlist">
        <ul type="disc">
          <li>
            <p>
            Any data returned is the data contained on the primary database
            record referenced by the secondary record.
        </p>
          </li>
          <li>
            <p>
            You cannot use <tt class="literal">DB_GET_BOTH</tt> and related flags with
                
                <tt class="methodname">Db::get()</tt>
            and a secondary database. Instead, you must use 
                
                <span><tt class="methodname">Db::pget()</tt>.</span>
            Also, in that case the primary and secondary key given on the call to 
                
                <tt class="methodname">Db::pget()</tt>
            must match the secondary key and associated primary record key in
            order for that primary record to be returned as a result of the
            call.
        </p>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </div>
      <p>
        For example, suppose you are using the databases, classes, and key
        
        <span>extractors</span>
        described in <a href="keyCreator.html">Implementing Key 
        
        <span>Extractors</span>
        </a>. 
        Then the following searches for a person's
        name in the secondary database, and deletes all secondary and primary
        records that use that name.
    </p>
      <a id="cxx_index8"></a>
      <pre class="programlisting">#include &lt;db_cxx.h&gt;

Db my_database(NULL, 0);
Db my_index(NULL, 0);


// Get a cursor on the secondary database
Dbc *cursorp;
my_index.cursor(NULL, &amp;cursorp, 0);


// Name to delete
char *search_name = "John Doe"; 

// Instantiate Dbts as normal
Dbt key(search_name, strlen(search_name) + 1);
Dbt data;

 
// Position the cursor
while (cursorp-&gt;get(&amp;key, &amp;data, DB_SET) == 0)
    cursorp-&gt;del(0); </pre>
