Description

The API has three key concepts: column, +column set, and index key.

Column

A +table in a database is defined by a set of columns. Each column has attributes +such as a name, a type, and a maximum length (if text or binary).

A +column definition is encapsulated by TDbCol.

Column set

A set of columns that describe a table are encapsulated +in CDbColSet. The set can be iterated over using TDbColSetIter.

Index key

An index key orders one or more table columns (keys). +It has attributes such as being unique or primary, a comparison specification +for text columns, and a list of columns which make up the key.

The +index key is encapsulated in CDbKey. A column for the key +is encapsulated in TDbKeyCol.
