Values

The C++ language provides different types that can be used to represent values (for example, int, double, char*, and so on). Views can deal with data in a uniform way, independently of its type. It uses the class to represent data whose real type is not known at compile time. See Handling Values in Views.

The class defines objects that are used to represent the dynamic type of an IliValue object.

Database Connection

All communication between a Views program and a remote database system goes through the and classes. These classes provide a high-level interface to all the database access functions needed by Views. They are themselves implemented with the Views DB Link library. See Connecting to a Database.
