Users of CommDb do not need to make changes to their code.

The CommDb API also allows tools and applications to create new user defined tables in the database at run time. </p> <p>The CommsDat keeps this behaviour.

Name</title> <p>The Commdb API has an interface based on column names. This method is not efficient. </p> <p>The CommsDat API allows tools and applications to find elements in the database by numeric id and to provide direct access through mapped data objects. You can continue to find elements in the Comms Database by name. The Nifman API continues to use this method. This method is not recommended, because it is very inefficient. </p> </section> <section><title>Retrieving small amounts of data</title> <p>Tools and applications do not need to simulate the use of a whole view when they use the <xref href="GUID-1CDD0B97-8B00-3373-9908-512C9BC1CF51.dita"><apiname>CMDBRecordSet</apiname></xref> <T> class.

fields</title> <p>Many CommDb searches are for records by user defined record name. This type of search is not efficient. </p> <p>The use of numeric Ids improves the performance of searches. User defined records can define a record tag field. Tools and applications give this field the unique numeric Id <xref href="GUID-1CDD0B97-8B00-3373-9908-512C9BC1CF51.dita"><apiname>KCDTIdRecordTag</apiname></xref>. Current procedure fills this field with the record Id of the record. This procedure provides backward compatibility with CommdbId. The field value can be any numeric record tag. For example, a <keyword>UID</keyword> value gives a convenient way to link records . </p> <p>See <xref href="GUID-A96ABD2C-A338-58E5-A674-E840B1F53670.dita">Creating a User Defined Table: Tutorial</xref> </p> </section> </conbody></concept> |
