ObjectSpace :: dictionary - Object space dictionary

The dictionary for an object space defined the object model for the data (instances and collections) stored in the object space. All object spaces in a database refer to the same dictionary.

Return value:  Dictionary handle ( odaba::Dictionary & )

The dictionary handle usually refers to an opened dictionary. Calling functions with invalid dictionary handles may cause an exception. For checking the dictionary handle, isValid() can be called.
