Icon Member Description
QDatabase(String)
Opens an existing database in read-only mode.

QDatabase(String, String)
Opens an existing database with another database as output.

QDatabase(String, DatabaseOpenMode)
Opens an existing database or creates a new one.

QDatabase(IntPtr, Boolean, String, DatabaseOpenMode)
Creates a new database from an MSI handle.

ApplyTransform(String)
Apply a transform to the database, suppressing any error conditions specified by the transform's summary information.
(Inherited from Database.)
ApplyTransform(String, TransformErrors)
Apply a transform to the database, specifying error conditions to suppress.
(Inherited from Database.)
Close()()()
Closes the handle. After closing a handle, further method calls may throw an InvalidHandleException.
(Inherited from InstallerHandle.)
CodePage
Gets or sets the code page of the Database.
(Inherited from Database.)
Commit()()()
Finalizes the persistent form of the database. All persistent data is written to the writeable database, and no temporary columns or rows are written.
(Inherited from Database.)
