A <span class="emphasis"><em>database</em></span> is a collection of records, each of which has a key and a value. The keys and values are stored in a selected format, which defines the syntax of the stored data. Two examples of formats are Java serialization format and tuple format. In a given database, all keys have the same format and all values have the same format. </p> <p> The <tt class="classname">SampleDatabase</tt> class is extended to open and close the three databases. The following additional class members are needed. </p> <a id="cb_sampledatabase3"></a> <pre class="programlisting">public class SampleDatabase { ... <b class="userinput"><tt> private static final String SUPPLIER_STORE = "supplier_store"; private static final String PART_STORE = "part_store"; private static final String SHIPMENT_STORE = "shipment_store";</tt></b> ... <b class="userinput"><tt> private Database supplierDb; private Database partDb; private Database shipmentDb;</tt></b> ... } </pre> <p> For each database there is a database name constant and a <tt class="classname">Database</tt> object. </p> <p> The following statements open the three databases by constructing a Database object. </p> <a id="cb_java_sampledatabase4"></a> <pre class="programlisting"> public SampleDatabase(String homeDirectory) throws DatabaseException, FileNotFoundException { ...

The databases are created if they don't already exist. The parameters of the <tt class="methodname">openDatabase()</tt> method were described earlier when the class catalog database was opened. </p> <p> The following statements close the three databases. </p> <a id="cb_close2"></a> <pre class="programlisting"> public void close() throws DatabaseException { <b class="userinput"><tt> partDb.close(); supplierDb.close(); shipmentDb.close();</tt></b> javaCatalog.close(); env.close(); } </pre> <p> All databases, including the catalog database, must be closed before closing the environment. </p> <p> The following getter methods return the databases for use by other classes in the example program. </p> <a id="cb_sampledatabase_getters"></a> <pre class="programlisting">public class SampleDatabase { ... <b class="userinput"><tt> public final Database getPartDatabase() { return partDb; } public final Database getSupplierDatabase() { return supplierDb; } public final Database getShipmentDatabase() { return shipmentDb; }</tt></b> ... }</pre> </div> <div class="navfooter"> <hr /> <table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"> <tr> <td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="openclasscatalog.html">Prev</a> </td> <td width="20%" align="center"> <a accesskey="u" href="BasicProgram.html">Up</a> </td> <td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="createbindingscollections.html">Next</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="40%" align="left" valign="top"> Opening and Closing the Class Catalog </td> <td width="20%" align="center"> <a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a> </td> <td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Creating Bindings and Collections </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html>
