A container is the general term for a Table, a Record, a Field, and a Link.

A container is an element, and is an item that the CommsDat implementation can store in the Comms Database.

A container allows tools and applications and the CommsDat implementation to prepare, store and change the data in the client process. A container acts like a cache of Comms Database information in the client process.

A container derives from CMDBElement . A container inherits the behaviour of an element and the behaviour that allows it to operate with the Comms Database.

All function calls to a Container perform actions that are local to that Container. Actions can propagate down to other elements in the container.
