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 informationdirectly via property handle functions.
Notes:
System resources as documentation object types are usually available internally, only, and cannot be read from the dictionary database.
