While environments are not used in the example built in this book, 45 they are so commonly used for a wide class of DB applications that it is 46 necessary to show their basic usage, if only from a completeness perspective. 47 </p> 48 <p> 49 To use an environment, you must first 50 51 open it. At open time, you must identify the directory in 52 which it resides. This directory must exist prior to the open attempt. 53 You can also identify open properties, such as whether the environment can be 54 created if it does not already exist. 55 </p> 56 <p> 57 You will also need to initialize the in-memory cache when you open your environment. 58 </p> 59 <p> 60 For example, to 61 <span>create an environment handle and</span> 62 open an environment: 63 </p> 64 <a id="java_env1"></a> 65 <pre class="programlisting">package db.GettingStarted; 66 67import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseException; 68import com.sleepycat.db.Environment; 69import com.sleepycat.db.EnvironmentConfig; 70 71import java.io.File; 72import java.io.FileNotFoundException; 73 74... 75 76Environment myEnv = null; 77File envHome = new File("/export1/testEnv"); 78try { 79 EnvironmentConfig envConf = new EnvironmentConfig(); 80 envConf.setAllowCreate(true); // If the environment does not 81 // exist, create it. 82 envConf.setInitializeCache(true); // Initialize the in-memory 83 // cache. 84 85 myEnv = new Environment(envHome, envConf); 86} catch (DatabaseException de) { 87 // Exception handling goes here 88} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) { 89 // Exception handling goes here 90} </pre> 91 <p> 92 Once an environment is opened, you can open databases in it. Note that by default databases 93 are stored in the environment's home directory, or relative to that directory if you 94 provide any sort of a path in the database's file name: 95 </p> 96 <a id="java_env2"></a> 97 <pre class="programlisting">package db.GettingStarted; 98 99<strong class="userinput"><code>import com.sleepycat.db.Database; 100import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseConfig; 101import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseType;</code></strong> 102import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseException; 103import com.sleepycat.db.Environment; 104import com.sleepycat.db.EnvironmentConfig; 105 106import java.io.File; 107import java.io.FileNotFoundException; 108 109... 110 111Environment myEnv = null; 112Database myDb = null; 113File envHome = new File("/export1/testEnv"); 114String dbFileName = new String("mydb.db", "UTF-8"); 115 116try { 117 EnvironmentConfig envConf = new EnvironmentConfig(); 118 envConf.setAllowCreate(true); 119 DatabaseConfig dbConfig = new DatabaseConfig(); 120 <strong class="userinput"><code>dbConfig.setAllowCreate(true); 121 dbConfig.setType(DatabaseType.BTREE);</code></strong> 122 123 myEnv = new Environment(envHome, envConf); 124 <strong class="userinput"><code>myDb = myEnv.openDatabase(null, dbFileName, null, dbConfig);</code></strong> 125} catch (DatabaseException de) { 126 // Exception handling goes here 127} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) { 128 // Exception handling goes here 129} </pre> 130 <p> 131 When you are done with an environment, you must close it.
