## Interface FBManagerMBean

- All Superinterfaces:
    java.lang.AutoCloseable
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    FBManager

      public interface FBManagerMBean
      extends java.lang.AutoCloseable

  API for `FBManager`, for creating and dropping databases.

  The class `FBManager` provides an API to create and drop databases, including options to limit the lifetime of a database

       // Use try-with-resources to automatically stop (close) FBManager
       try (FBManager manager = new FBManager()) {
           manager.setServer("localhost");
           manager.setUser("sysdba");
           manager.setPassword("masterkey");
           manager.setFileName("path/to/database.fdb");
           manager.setPageSize(PageSizeConstants.SIZE_16K);
           manager.setDefaultCharacterSet("UTF8");

           // Create database when manager is started
           manager.setCreateOnStart(true);
           // Drop database on creation if it already exists
           manager.setForceCreate(true);
           // Drop database when manager is stopped
           manager.setDropOnStop(true);
           manager.start();

           // Use database...
       }
       // After end of try-with-resources, the database will be dropped

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### start

          void start()
              throws java.lang.Exception

      Start this manager.

      If `isCreateOnStart()` is `true`, will attempt to create a new database specified using the `server`, `port`, `fileName` and related properties. If the specified already exists, nothing will be created unless `isForceCreate()` is `true`. When `forceCreate` is `true` an attempt will be made to drop the database.

      Throws:

    - #### stop

          void stop()
             throws java.lang.Exception

      Stop this manager.

      If `isDropOnStop()` is `true`, will attempt to drop the database specified using the `server`, `port`, `fileName` and related properties,

      If the manager is currently stopped, this method will do nothing.

      Throws:
        `java.lang.Exception` - For failures to drop the database.
