Now that we've covered the basics, let's move into + some intermediate level topics. The first and foremost is the use + of the <a + href="apidocs/com/healthmarketscience/jackcess/Cursor.html">Cursor</a>. + As mentioned earlier, Cursors are the best way to interact with the + data in a Table (beyond trivial data entry). If you are familiar + with databases in general, then cursors should be a familiar idea. + A Cursor is, in essence, the combination of a Table and a "bookmark" + pointing to a Row of data in the Table. The various Cursor + operations either move the bookmark around within the Table or + provide read/write operations on the current Row. While caching and + re-using Cursor instances will provide benefits with respect to both + speed and memory, they are "lightweight" enough to be used in an + on-demand capacity. + </p> + </subsection> + <p> FIXME, writeme </p> |
