<p>Secondary databases accept <code class="classname">SecondaryConfig</code>
objects. <code class="classname">SecondaryConfig</code> is a subclass of <code class="classname">DatabaseConfig</code>,
so it can manage all of the same properties as does <code class="classname">DatabaseConfig</code>.
See <a class="xref" href="dbprops.html" title="Database Properties">Database Properties</a> for more information.</p>
<p>In addition to the <code class="classname">DatabaseConfig</code> properties,
<code class="classname">SecondaryConfig</code> also allows you to manage the following properties:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">SecondaryConfig.setAllowPopulate()</code>
</p>
<p>If true, the secondary database can be auto-populated. This means
that on open, if the secondary database is empty then the primary
database is read in its entirety and additions/modifications to the
secondary's records occur automatically.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">SecondaryConfig.setKeyCreator()</code>
</p>
<p>Identifies the key creator object to be used for secondary key
creation. See <a class="xref" href="keyCreator.html" title="Implementing Key Creators">Implementing Key
<span>Creators</span>
</a>
for more information.</p>
