- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### MultipleDataEntry

          public MultipleDataEntry()

      Construct an entry with no data. The object must be configured before use with the `MultipleEntry.setUserBuffer` method.

    - #### MultipleDataEntry

          public MultipleDataEntry(byte[] data)

      Construct an entry with a given byte array. The offset is set to zero; the size is set to the length of the array. If null is passed, the object must be configured before use with the `MultipleEntry.setUserBuffer` method.

      Parameters:
        `data` - Byte array wrapped by the entry.

    - #### MultipleDataEntry

          public MultipleDataEntry(byte[] data,
                                   int offset,
                                   int size)

      Constructs a DatabaseEntry with a given byte array, offset and size.

      Parameters:
        `data` - Byte array wrapped by the DatabaseEntry.
        `offset` - Offset in the first byte in the byte array to be included.
        `size` - Number of bytes in the byte array to be included.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### next

          public boolean next(DatabaseEntry data)

      Get the next data element in the returned set. This method may only be called after a successful call to a `Database` or `Cursor` get method with this object as the data parameter.

      When used with the Queue and Recno access methods, `data.getData()` will return `null` for deleted records.

      Parameters:
        `data` - an entry that is set to refer to the next data element in the returned set.

      Returns:
        indicates whether a value was found. A return of `false` indicates that the end of the set was reached.

    - #### append

          public boolean append(byte[] data,
                                int offset,
                                int len)
                         throws DatabaseException

      Append an entry to the bulk buffer.

      Parameters:
        `data` - an array containing the record to be added.
        `offset` - the position in the data array where the record starts.
        `len` - the length of the record, in bytes, to be copied from the data array.

      Returns:
        indicates whether there was space. A return of `false` indicates that the specified entry could not fit in the buffer.
      Throws:
        `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

    - #### append

          public boolean append(DatabaseEntry data)
                         throws DatabaseException

      Append an entry to the bulk buffer.

      Parameters:
        `data` - the record to be appended, using the offset and size specified in the `DatabaseEntry`.

      Returns:
        indicates whether there was space. A return of `false` indicates that the specified entry could not fit in the buffer.
      Throws:
        `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

    - #### append

          public boolean append(byte[] data)
                         throws DatabaseException

      Append an entry to the bulk buffer.

      Parameters:
        `data` - an array containing the record to be added.

      Returns:
        indicates whether there was space. A return of `false` indicates that the specified entry could not fit in the buffer.
      Throws:
        `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.
