Database basics
The next several chapters explain how to use Smalltalk tools to perform database operations. They include the following topics:
•A brief tour of the Smalltalk classes for creating database applications
•Instructions for accessing your database management system and binding to your database
•How to create and delete databases and tables
•Step-by-step instructions for querying databases using VA Smalltalk / VAST Platform database classes
•Tips for handling errors, ensuring row schema consistency, binary data limits, and intercepting SQL 000 codes
The database classes can be divided into four categories: base classes, classes for defining database resources and operations, classes for manipulating database data, and classes for using database data links.
