Detailed Description

Database access class.

Library: dataccess

The IliSession class defines objects that can connect to, and serve as a communication channel with, a remote system. Session objects are reference counted. This means that many parts of a program can share the same session objects, and explains why session objects are never explicitly deleted. Instead, a session object must be locked before it can be used. It can then be used as long as necessary, until it is unlocked when finished with. In this way, the session object will effectively be deleted when the number of its users is zero.
