Detailed Description

Session class.

A Session is a stateful period of activity of a user with the Database.

All the manipulation of a Database must be enclosed into a Session. A Session can be initiated from a Database instance and allows for getting a Graph instance which represents the persistent graph (the graph database).

Also, temporary data is associated to the Session, thus when a Session is closed, all the temporary data associated to the Session is removed too. Objects or Values instances or even session attributes are an example of temporary data.

Moreover, a Session is exclusive for a thread, thus if it is shared among threads results may be fatal or unexpected.

Check out the 'Processing' and 'Transactions' sections in the SPARKSEE User Manual for details about how Sessions work and the use of transactions.

Method Documentation

- (void) close

Closes the Session instance.

It must be called to ensure the integrity of all data.

- (STSObjects*) createObjects

Creates a new Objects instance.

Returns
The new Objects instance.
- (STSQuery*) createQuery: (enum STSQueryLanguage)  lang

Creates a new Query.

Parameters
langThe query language to create the query for
- (STSGraph*) getGraph

Gets the Graph instance.

Returns
The Graph instance.
- (long long) getInMemoryPoolCapacity

Gets the capacity of the in-memory pool.

Returns
Returns the capacity of the in-memory pool
- (long long) preCommit

PreCommits a transaction.

YOU SHOULD NOT USE THIS METHOD. This method exists for a specific service and it is used to force that the transaction is written in the recovery log even though it had not been committed yet (and may never be).

Returns
The transaction id. This has to be used in RedoPrecommited in case of a recovery process.
