Database :: pif - Platform independent property

Platform independent databases may run on high Endian (e.g. SUN) or low Endian (e.g. INTEL) machines. Databases running on high Endian machines, always should be marked as platform independent.

This property has been set when the database has been created, and cannot be changed afterwards.

Return value:  Success ( bool  )

The value is true when the function was executed successfully. Otherwise the value is set to false.
