db.open
| Syntax |
db.open (f, readOnly)
|
| Params |
f is a filespec or path string of a Frontier object database file. readOnly is a boolean value indicating whether read-only or read-write access to the database is desired.
|
| Action |
Opens the indicated database file and prepares it for subsequent access by other "db verbs". If readOnly is true, the file is opened read-only. Otherwise, it is opened with read-write permission.
|
| Returns |
True.
|
| Examples |
db.open ("System:Frontier:old.root", false) » true
db.open (Frontier.getFilePath (), false)
|
| Notes |
This verb must be called before any of the other external db verbs (all but db.get and db.set) may be used. If the database is opened read-only, verbs that modify the database (db.setValue, db.newTable, db.delete, db.save) will fail. However multiple scripts, potentially on multiple machines, may access the same database simultaneously in read-only mode You may open a database that is currently open in Frontier. In this case, changes are "live", updating open windows as you'd expect.
