PUBLIC CreateDatabaseAliases (character)
Purpose: Creates database aliases based on a configuration string
Notes: The configuration string is a pipe delimited list of

Parameters:
pcAliases CHARACTER
The definition of the aliases to create
Top

PUBLIC INTEGER DatabaseNumber (character)
Purpose: Returns the sequence number of a database the ABL session is connected
to. This sequence number can be used for functions like LDBNAME or
the return-value of the GetRecordsReads() method in this class
Notes:

Parameters:
pcDatabaseName CHARACTER
The logical database name to return the connect sequence number for
Returns INTEGER
The sequence number of a database the ABL session is connected to or ? when the DB is not connected
Top

PUBLIC CHARACTER GetDbNameSignature ()
Purpose: Returns a comma-delimited list of the logical database
names of all connected database names, all alias names
and the logical name of the DICTDB
Notes:

Returns CHARACTER
The comma-delimited signature of the connected database
Top

PUBLIC RECID GetDictDbRecid ()
Purpose: Returns the RECID of the _DB record
Notes: Required for invoking some of the data dictionary, data admin API's

Returns RECID
The RECID of the DICTDB _DB record
Top

PUBLIC INT64 GetRecordReads ()
Purpose: Returns an int64 array containing the _ActSummary._Summary-RecReads
for every connected database
Notes:

Returns INT64
The INT64[] containing the _ActSummary._Summary-RecReads per connected DB
Top

PUBLIC INT64 GetRecordReads (int64[])
Purpose: Returns an int64 array containing the _ActSummary._Summary-RecReads
for every connected database substracted by the values in a start
array.
Notes: This function is useful for computing the actual number of records
read since the GetRecordsReads() (no parameter) methods was called

Parameters:
iStart INT64
An INT64[] containing the start offset for the records read
Returns INT64
The INT64[] containing the _ActSummary._Summary-RecReads per connected DB since the offset was taken
Top

PUBLIC SetDbClient (handle, character)
Purpose: Sets the DB-CLIENT
Notes: Wrapper to SET-DB-CLIENT with better error reporting

Parameters:
phClientPrincipal HANDLE
The handle of the client-principal
pcLogicalDatabaseName CHARACTER
The logical database name
Top

PUBLIC CHARACTER UnabbreviatedFieldName (character, character)
Purpose: Returns the unabbreviated field name based on an abbreviated field
name
Notes:

Parameters:
pcTableName CHARACTER
The table name (possibly abbreviated)
pcFieldName CHARACTER
The field name (possibly abbreviated)
Returns CHARACTER
The unabbreviated field name
Top

PUBLIC CHARACTER UnabbreviatedTableName (character)
Purpose: Returns the unabbreviated table name based on an abbreviated table
name
Notes:

Parameters:
pcTableName CHARACTER
The abbreviated table name, optionally with DB prefix
Returns CHARACTER
The unabbreviated buffer name (including database name)
Top

PUBLIC CHARACTER UnabbreviatedTableName (character, character)
Purpose: Returns the unabbreviated table name based on an abbreviated table
name
Notes:

Parameters:
