The commands in this theme return a description of the database structure. They return the number of tables, the number of fields in each table, the names of the tables and fields, and the type and properties of each field.
Determining the database structure is extremely useful when you are developing and using groups of project methods and forms that can be copied into different databases.
The ability to read the database structure allows you to develop and use portable code.
