The handle is not free-threaded, and cursors may not span threads; nor may cursors be used by more than a single thread. If the cursor is to be used to perform operations on behalf of a transaction, the cursor must be opened and closed within the context of that single transaction. Once <a href="../api_java/dbc_close.html">Dbc.close</a> has been called, the handle may not be accessed again, regardless of the method's return. </tt> <table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right> <a href="../api_java/c_index.html"><img src="../images/api.gif" alt="API"></a><a href="../reftoc.html"><img src="../images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a> </td></tr></table> <p><font size=1><a href="http://www.sleepycat.com">Copyright Sleepycat Software</a></font> </body> </html>
