OrientDB: Java API

The following example show how to use OrientDB Java API to work with local Document Database.
Take a look to database types.

Document Database  offers a good compromise between speed and flexibility.




We show how to

• Connect to a database and open it
• Create a document (record) and populate fields
• Persist the document (record) created
• Close database

public class OrientDBTest {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      //Connect to database
      ODatabaseDocumentTx db = new ODatabaseDocumentTx("local:/tmp/db/scratchpad");
      //Open database with user and password
      db.open("admin", "admin");
      //Create a new document (record)
      ODocument doc = db.newInstance();
      //Populate the fields
      doc.field("name", "Jay");
      doc.field("surname", "Miner");
      //Persist data
      doc.save();
      //Close database
      db.close();
   }
}
