<h3><pre>
import com.sleepycat.db.*;
<p>
public Dbc cursor(DbTxn txnid, int flags)
throws DbException;
</pre></h3>
<h1>Description</h1>
<p>The Db.cursor method
creates a cursor.
<p>If the file is being accessed under transaction protection, the
<b>txnid</b> parameter is a transaction ID returned from
<a href="../api_java/txn_begin.html">DbEnv.txn_begin</a>, otherwise, NULL.
<p>If transaction protection is enabled, cursors must be opened and closed
within the context of a transaction, and the <b>txnid</b> parameter
specifies the transaction context in which the cursor may be used.
<p>The <b>flags</b> value must be set to 0 or by bitwise inclusively <b>OR</b>'ing together one or more
of the following values.
<p><dl compact>
<p><dt><a name="Db.DB_WRITECURSOR">Db.DB_WRITECURSOR</a><dd>Specify that the cursor will be used to update the database. This
flag should <b>only</b> be set when the <a href="../api_java/env_open.html#DB_INIT_CDB">Db.DB_INIT_CDB</a> flag
was specified to <a href="../api_java/env_open.html">DbEnv.open</a>.
</dl>
<p>The Db.cursor method throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure.
<h1>Errors</h1>
<p>The Db.cursor method may fail and throw an exception encapsulating a non-zero error for the following conditions:
<p><dl compact>
<p><dt>EINVAL<dd>An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
</dl>
<p>The Db.cursor method may fail and throw an exception for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods.
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the Db.cursor method may fail and throw
a <a href="../api_java/runrec_class.html">DbRunRecoveryException</a>, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls
will fail in the same way.
