Work with NDBs

You can use NDB commands to start, stop, reset, and lock (for example to prevent access while running a backup), an NDB. For more information, see the Online Help.

You can also use NCL verbs to insert or delete field definitions, add, delete, update and retrieve records, and to search an NDB for all records that match a supplied set of criteria. These verbs also allow access to the database and field level definitions, making it easy to provide utility procedures that need only be told the name of the NDB to be accessed.
