Database commands?

Hi,
I listened to the webinar this morning, and am trying to do a simple database example. I looked thru the Dictionary and noticed some of the commands are "rev" followed by a capitalized command (i.e. Execute) so the command is revExecuteSQL, and then a similar one called revdb_execute, with the statement that one is a function call and the other a command, which to use and when? Thanks!

Hi Diane,

These two commands/functions are synonymous. The revdv_ commands and functions are obsolete but still available.

Kind regards,

Mark

When I go to the Dictionary and search for all the "revdb_" I count 28 functions.
When I search for "revDatabase" I find there are only 11.

Are these 11 new functions supposed to replace the 28 old functions?

some of the revdb_ stuff got a non revdatabase replacement, for example revCloseCursor or revQueryDatabase.
