ODatabaseDocument - getRecord()

This method retrieves a record from the database.

Retrieving Records

This method takes an instance of the OIdentifiable interface and returns the corresponding record.

Syntax

<RET extends ORecord> RET ODatabaseDocument().getRecord(
   OIdentifiable id)

Return Value

This method returns a record instance, which extends the ORecord class. The particular type depends on the record you have stored. Possible types include,

• ODocument
• OEdge
• OElement
• ORecord
• OVertex

Example

In cases where you find you are frequently retrieving records by Record ID, you might find in convenient to write a method that streamlines the process, making it easier to call. For instance,

// INITIALIZE VARIABLES
private ODatabaseDocument db;
...

// FETCH RECORD
public OElement fetchRecord(String rid){

   // Initialize Record ID
   id = ORecordId(rid);

   // Fetch Record
   return db.getRecord(id);
}
