Methods

impl mozIStorageService
[src]

[src]

Cast this mozIStorageService to one of its base interfaces.

/**
   * Open an asynchronous connection to a database.
   *
   * This method MUST be called from the main thread. The connection object
   * returned by this function is not threadsafe. You MUST use it only from
   * the main thread.
   *
   * If you have more than one connection to a file, you MUST use the EXACT
   * SAME NAME for the file each time, including case. The sqlite code uses
   * a simple string compare to see if there is already a connection. Opening
   * a connection to "Foo.sqlite" and "foo.sqlite" will CORRUPT YOUR DATABASE.
   *
   * @param aDatabaseStore Either a nsIFile representing the file that contains
   * the database or a special string to open a special database. The special
   * string may be:
   * - "memory" to open an in-memory database.
   *
   * @param aOptions A set of options (may be null). Options may contain:
   * - bool shared (defaults to |false|).
   *   -- If |true|, opens the database with a shared-cache. The
   *     shared-cache mode is more memory-efficient when many
   *     connections to the same database are expected, though, the
   *     connections will contend the cache resource. In any cases
   *     where performance matter, working without a shared-cache will
   *     improve concurrency.  @see openUnsharedDatabase
   *
   * - int growthIncrement (defaults to none).
   *   -- Set the growth increment for the main database.  This hints SQLite to
   *      grow the database file by a given chunk size and may reduce
   *      filesystem fragmentation on large databases.
   *      @see mozIStorageConnection::setGrowthIncrement
   *
   * @param aCallback A callback that will receive the result of the operation.
   *  In case of error, it may receive as status:
   *  - NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY if allocating a new storage object fails.
   *  - NS_ERROR_FILE_CORRUPTED if the database file is corrupted.
   *  In case of success, it receives as argument the new database
   *  connection, as an instance of |mozIStorageAsyncConnection|.
   *
   * @throws NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG if |aDatabaseStore| is neither a file nor
   *         one of the special strings understood by this method, or if one of
   *         the options passed through |aOptions| does not have the right type.
   * @throws NS_ERROR_NOT_SAME_THREAD if called from a thread other than the
   *         main thread.
