This class corresponds to the generic DataBase class of ruby described in Chapter I.1. The class cannot be instantiated; only the interface “IDataBase” has been defined. The DataBase classes corresponding to the different solvers derive from the “IDataBase” interface.
The iterators of the DataBase class in ruby extension have also been defined in COM
component: “iter_abbreviation”, “iter_groupName”, “iter_resultKey”, “iter_resultKeyCaseId”,
“iter_resultKeySubCaseId”, “iter_resultKeyLcScId” and ‘iter_resultKeyResId” properties in COM
component correspond to the “each_abbreviation”, “each_groupName”, “each_resultKey”,
“each_resultKeyCaseId”, “each_resultKeySubCaseId”, “each_resultKeyLcScId” and
“each_resultKeyResId” iterators in ruby extension.
The four singleton methods “enableLayeredResultsReading”, “disableLayeredResultsReading”, “enableSubLayersReading” and “disableSubLayersReading” in the ruby extension generic DataBase class are defined as instance methods. This means that an instance of the derived class must be created to use these singleton methods.
The same is true for methods “setStorageBufferMaxCapacity” and “getStorageBufferMaxCapacity”.
