- ## Method Details

  - ### open

    ManagedBufferFile open(int version, int minChangeDataVer) throws IOException
    Open a specific version of the stored database for non-update use. Historical change data from minChangeDataVer through version is available. The returned BufferFile does not support the BufferMgr's Save operation.
    Parameters:
      `version` - database version
      `minChangeDataVer` - indicates the oldest change data version to be included in change set. A -1 indicates only the last change data buffer file is applicable.
    Returns:
      buffer file
    Throws:
      `FileInUseException` - thrown if unable to obtain the required database lock(s).
      `IOException` - thrown if IO error occurs.

      - `ManagedBufferFile.getNextChangeDataFile(boolean)`

  - ### open

    ManagedBufferFile open(int version) throws IOException
    Open a specific version of the stored database for non-update use. Change data will not be available. The returned BufferFile does not support the BufferMgr's Save operation.
    Parameters:
      `version` - database version
    Returns:
      buffer file
    Throws:
      `FileInUseException` - thrown if unable to obtain the required database lock(s).
      `IOException` - thrown if IO error occurs.

  - ### open

    ManagedBufferFile open() throws IOException
    Open the current version of the stored database for non-update use. Change data will not be available. The returned BufferFile does not support the BufferMgr's Save operation.
    Throws:
      `IOException` - thrown if IO error occurs.

  - ### openForUpdate

    ManagedBufferFile openForUpdate(long checkoutId) throws IOException
    Open the current version of the stored database for update use. The returned BufferFile supports the Save operation. If this item is on a shared file-system, this method initiates an item checkin. If a changeSet is specified, it will be filled with all change data since the check-out version. Change data will be read into the change set starting oldest to newest.
    Parameters:
      `checkoutId` - the associated checkoutId if this item is stored on a versioned file-system, otherwise DEFAULT_CHECKOUT_ID can be specified.
    Returns:
      buffer file
    Throws:
      `FileInUseException` - thrown if unable to obtain the required database lock(s).
      `IOException` - thrown if IO error occurs.
