This page describes the new "connection" style database methods. Methods exist to create local database tables, merge them with external databases, and perform queries on external databases.
Note: first use db.connect
function to create the connection object - then use the methods on the connection object.
For more information on how Iguana Translator scripts work with databases, see Mapping To/From Databases.
In Iguana 5.0.14 a bug was fixed when 0 or "" (empty string) was returned from a database as a NULL value - now 0 and "" are returned correctly.
