## com.sleepycat.collections
Class StoredList

    java.lang.Object
      com.sleepycat.collections.StoredContainer
          com.sleepycat.collections.StoredCollection
              com.sleepycat.collections.StoredList

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Cloneable, Collection, List

public class StoredList
extends StoredCollection
implements List

A List view of a `Database`.

For all stored lists the keys of the underlying Database must have record number format, and therefore the store or index must be a RECNO, RECNO-RENUMBER, QUEUE, or BTREE-RECNUM database. Only RECNO-RENUMBER allows true list behavior where record numbers are renumbered following the position of an element that is added or removed. For the other access methods (RECNO, QUEUE, and BTREE-RECNUM), stored Lists are most useful as read-only collections where record numbers are not required to be sequential.

Note that this class does not conform to the standard Java collections interface in the following ways:

- The `StoredContainer.size()` method always throws `UnsupportedOperationException` because, for performance reasons, databases do not maintain their total record count.
- All iterators must be explicitly closed using `StoredIterator.close()` or `StoredIterator.close(java.util.Iterator)` to release the underlying database cursor resources.

In addition to the standard List methods, this class provides the following methods for stored lists only. Note that the use of these methods is not compatible with the standard Java collections interface.

- `append(Object)`
