Hi,

 

I have a quick question regarding dbReadDatabase. Based upon my understanding, it seems that it is meant for loading a file containing database definitions, which I presume comes from files with a .dbd extension. However, in Chapter 14.16.1, I noticed that one of the lines of code seems to imply that we can pass .db files into the arguments of dbReadDatabase. I was wondering if that is a typo.

 

Additionally, I am a bit curious about how to utilize some of the functions pertaining to record instances. For instance, dbGetNRecords allows us to get the number of record instances for the record type that DBENTRY references. However, I can’t locate a function that allows me to pass a filename to a record instance file with all the record instances within it.

 

Clarifications would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Andy
