Methods to read and write to the database. These cover element creation, deletion and copy; getting and querying attributes and rules; scanning the DB; evaluating database expressions. Instances of DbElement should be used to identify an element. i.e. methods that take an element should always pass a DbElement rather than a 2 long reference number or the name of the element. Some methods return a 'null' DbElement to denote failure. A 'null' DbElement can only be tested using the 'IsNull' method.

For a list of all members of this type, see DbElement Members.
