      <p>Secondary databases accept <tt class="classname">SecondaryConfig</tt>
	objects. <tt class="classname">SecondaryConfig</tt> is a subclass of <tt class="classname">DatabaseConfig</tt>,
	so it can manage all of the same properties as does <tt class="classname">DatabaseConfig</tt>.
    See <a href="DBConfig.html">Database Properties</a> for more information.</p>
      <p>In addition to the <tt class="classname">DatabaseConfig</tt> properties, 
	<tt class="classname">SecondaryConfig</tt> also allows you to manage the following properties:
	</p>
      <div class="itemizedlist">

            <p>
              <tt class="methodname">SecondaryConfig.setAllowPopulate()</tt>
            </p>
            <p>If true, the secondary database can be auto-populated. This means
        that on open, if the secondary database is empty then the primary
        database is read in its entirety and additions/modifications to the
        secondary's records occur automatically.</p>

              <tt class="methodname">SecondaryConfig.setKeyCreator()</tt>

        creation. See <a href="keyCreator.html">Implementing Key
