- COMMENTS:
-
- o dbtabbrowse() is one of the DB-Library browse mode routines.
- See the Introduction for a detailed discussion of browse mode.
- o dbtabbrowse() provides a way to identify browsable tables. It
- is useful when examining ad hoc queries prior to performing
- browse mode updates based on them. If the query has been hard-
- coded into the program, this routine is obviously unnecessary.
-
- o For a table to be considered "browsable," it must have a unique
- index and a timestamp column.
- o The application can call dbtabbrowse() any time after
- dbresults().
-
- o Example 7 in the DB-Library Reference Supplement contains a
- call to dbtabbrowse().
