What is the best way to access duplicate records when not using collections?
Duplicate records are records that are in a single database and have the same key. Since there is more than one record per key, a simple lookup by key is not sufficient to find all duplicate records for that key. When using the DPL, the SecondaryIndex.subIndex method is the simplest way to access duplicate records. When using the Base API, you need to position a cursor at the desired key, and then retrieve all the subsequent duplicate records. The Getting Started Guide has a good section on how to position your cursor: Search For Records and then how to retrieve the rest of the duplicates: Working with Duplicate Records.
