Arguments
db
name of database or a database object
type
type of database format. If missing, the default type
will be used
...
other arguments passed to methods
Details
dbCreate creates the necessary files or directory for the
database. If those files already exist nothing is done.
dbInit takes a database name and returns an object
inheriting from class "filehash".
The type argument specifies the format in which the database
should be stored on the disk. If not specified, the default
type will be used (as specified by filehashOption).
Value
dbCreate returns TRUE upon success and FALSE in
the event of an error. dbInit returns an object
inheriting from class "filehash"
Note
The function dbInitialize has been deprecated. Use
dbInit instead.
