Class LockMode

java.lang.Object
  com.sleepycat.db.LockMode

public final class LockMode

extends Object

Locking modes for database operations. Locking modes are required parameters for operations that retrieve data or modify the database.

Field Summary

static LockMode	DEFAULT Acquire read locks for read operations and write locks for write operations.
static LockMode	DEGREE_2 Deprecated. This has been replaced by READ_COMMITTED to conform to ANSI database isolation terminology.
static LockMode	DIRTY_READ Deprecated. This has been replaced by READ_UNCOMMITTED to conform to ANSI database isolation terminology.
static LockMode	READ_COMMITTED Read committed isolation provides for cursor stability but not repeatable reads.
static LockMode	READ_UNCOMMITTED Read modified but not yet committed data.
static LockMode	RMW Acquire write locks instead of read locks when doing the retrieval.

Field Detail

DEFAULT

public static final LockMode DEFAULT

Acquire read locks for read operations and write locks for write operations.

RMW

public static final LockMode RMW

Acquire write locks instead of read locks when doing the retrieval. Setting this flag can eliminate deadlock during a read-modify-write cycle by acquiring the write lock during the read part of the cycle so that another thread of control acquiring a read lock for the same item, in its own read-modify-write cycle, will not result in deadlock.

READ_UNCOMMITTED

public static final LockMode READ_UNCOMMITTED

Read modified but not yet committed data.

DIRTY_READ

public static final LockMode DIRTY_READ

Deprecated. This has been replaced by READ_UNCOMMITTED to conform to ANSI database isolation terminology.

Read modified but not yet committed data.

READ_COMMITTED

public static final LockMode READ_COMMITTED

Read committed isolation provides for cursor stability but not repeatable reads. Data items which have been previously read by this transaction may be deleted or modified by other transactions before the cursor is closed or the transaction completes.

Note that this LockMode may only be passed to Database get methods, not to Cursor methods. To configure a cursor for Read committed isolation, use CursorConfig.setReadCommitted(boolean).

DEGREE_2

public static final LockMode DEGREE_2

Deprecated. This has been replaced by READ_COMMITTED to conform to ANSI database isolation terminology.

Read committed isolation provides for cursor stability but not repeatable reads. Data items which have been previously read by this transaction may be deleted or modified by other transactions before the cursor is closed or the transaction completes.

Note that this LockMode may only be passed to Database get methods, not to Cursor methods. To configure a cursor for Read committed isolation, use CursorConfig.setReadCommitted(boolean).
