DictionaryHandle - Dictionary Handle
Inherits:
DatabaseHandle
The dictionary handle is used for providing schema definitions from the dictionary. The dictionary creates internal images from the externally stored schema definitions. These internal images (e.g. DBStructDef ) can be provided by means of dictionary functions.
Because the dictionary handle is a database handle ( DatabaseHandle ) one may access schema information directly via property handle functions.
Notes:
System resources as documentation object types are usually available internally, only, and cannot be read from the dictionary database.
