Frontier 5: ODB Engine API

odbNewFile creates a new database structure in an existing file. It does not leave the database open.

odbOpenFile opens a database given a file reference number. It must be balanced by a odbClose.

odbGetType, odbGetValue, odbCountItems, and odbGetNthItem all retrieve information about the value associated with the given address.

odbDisposeValue must be called to deallocate a value retrieved by odbGetValue.

odbDelete and odbSetValue allow you to modify the database. Use odbSaveFile to save changes.
