Database Guide
The database definition classes provide a means for defining queries,
stored procedures, connection specifications, and logon specifications.
These classes store the information that you use to access connected
databases.
- AbtDatabaseConnectionSpec
- Associates a connection alias with a database manager and a specific
database. Connection aliases provide a means of creating database
applications independent of specific database names. This independence
enables you to develop and test an application with one database, for example,
and then switch to a different database for production use without having to
redefine your queries.
- AbtDatabaseLogonSpec
- Associates a user ID, password, and database server with an alias.
- AbtQuerySpec
- Defines SQL statements to be passed to a database management system by the
database connection classes.
- AbtStoredProcSpec
- Defines stored procedures and the input and output parameters to passed
with them
