Database (NetPhantom® 8.0 Java API Specification)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<Database>
- - co.mindus.ip2location.Database

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<Database>
```
public enum Database
extends Enum<Database>
```
Enumeration of available IP2Location LITE database types.
IP2Location provides free LITE databases that are updated on the 1st of each calendar month. Each database type contains different levels of geographic detail, from country-only (DB1) to full location data including timezone information (DB11).
All database types are available in both IPv4-only and IPv6 formats. The IPv6 format contains both IPv4 and IPv6 address mappings but is significantly larger in file size. When IPv6 support is enabled, both databases are downloaded - the IPv4 database for IPv4 lookups and the IPv6 database for IPv6 lookups.
Database Comparison
Database Fields IPv4 Size IPv6 Size
DB1 Country code, Country name ~2 MB ~5 MB
DB3 + Region, City ~20 MB ~50 MB
DB5 + Latitude, Longitude ~25 MB ~60 MB
DB9 + ZIP code ~35 MB ~80 MB
DB11 + Timezone ~40 MB ~90 MB
Feature Queries
Check which fields are available in a database type:
```
 Database db = Database.DB5;
 db.hasRegion();      // true
 db.hasCity();        // true
 db.hasCoordinates(); // true
 db.hasZipCode();     // false (requires DB9+)
 db.hasTimezone();    // false (requires DB11)
 
```
Download Codes
Each database type generates download codes for both IPv4 and IPv6 formats:
```
 // IPv4 download code
 Database.DB11.getCode(false);  // "DB11LITEBIN"
 
 // IPv6 download code  
 Database.DB11.getCode(true);   // "DB11LITEBINIPV6"
 
 // Full download URL
 Database.DB11.getDownloadUrl("YOUR_TOKEN", false);
 // https://www.ip2location.com/download?token=YOUR_TOKEN&amp;file=DB11LITEBIN
 
```

- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static Database[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (Database c : Database.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
