|
||
In general, you
|
||
<span>can</span>
|
||
|
||
not modify a secondary database directly. In
|
||
order to modify a secondary database, you should modify the primary
|
||
database and simply allow JE to manage the secondary modifications for you.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
However, as a convenience, you can delete
|
||
<code class="classname">SecondaryDatabase</code>
|
||
|
||
records directly. Doing so causes the associated primary key/data pair to be deleted.
|
||
This in turn causes JE to delete all
|
||
<code class="classname">SecondaryDatabase</code>
|
||
|
||
records that reference the primary record.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You can use the
|
||
<code class="methodname">SecondaryDatabase.delete()</code>
|
||
|
||
|
||
method to delete a secondary database record. Note that if your
|
||
|
||
<code class="classname">SecondaryDatabase</code>
|
||
contains duplicate records, then deleting a record from the set of
|
||
duplicates causes all of the duplicates to be deleted as well.

<p>
|
||
<span><code class="methodname">SecondaryDatabase.delete()</code> causes the
|
||
previously described delete operations to occur
|
||
</span>
|
||
|
||
only if the primary database is opened for write access.

||
</p>

|

|
||
// a key. This causes the primary record referenced by this secondary

// record to be deleted.

OperationStatus retVal = mySecondaryDatabase.delete(null, searchKey);

} catch (Exception e) {
