Client :: exist - Check database path
The function checks, whether the file addressed in sDatabasePath refers to a valid database location. The function checks, whether the file located is a valid ODABA database ( true ) or not. Thus, the function does not allow checking the existence of an xml database.
The path name may contain symbolic names, which are resolved before checking the path. When running on a client in an client server environment the request is passed to the server, i.e. symbolic names must be known on server side.
The value is true when the function was executed successfully. Otherwise the value is set to false .
Implementation details
- sDatabasePath
- File path to database location
The database path refers to the location of the main database file (root base).
In order to pass no database path, an empty string ( String () ) has to be passed.
