Everything I know about how db-lib is *supposed* to work comes from
reading the vendors' reference manuals, many times and very carefully.
Over the years I guess I've crawled inside the head of whoever designed
it. (I don't know who that is, but I'd like to meet him!)  It's
actually a very simple library with a few strange gargoyles.

That is why I wote the Tenderfoot section of the UG.  :-)
