Listing clusters or classes

[andreyvk]

Hi Anton,

I was wondering if it's possible to list clusters or classes with the library. To make a question more generic: how can one issue console commands like, for instance, browsing a class (browse class <class_name>)?

Hello.

info class and info clusters are console commands, so they lack strict SQL equivalent.
As far as I can remember, you cant get list of classes by reading #0:1 record. Record #0:2 holds indexes.

List of clusters is returned from DBOpen command.

Thanks, I'll try the #0:1 trick first.

I understand that i can get list of clusters from DBOpen command, but what if list changed and I need to refresh it? This means tearing down and establishing a new connection then?

#0:1 isn't a trick, its the only way (binary lacks command info class). info clusters will be available with #6 implementation.

Cool, thanks Anton :)
