Description

The HDB database object is a tool to use a OpenWGA content store as a simple hierarchical database for data storage.

For backward compatibility there still is a method "hdb()" with dbkey parameter available on TMLContext whose use is discouraged since OpenWGA 5.3.

Parameters dbkey (String):
DBKey of the application whose database is to be used as HDB
Return value A HDB database object to manage hierarchical data in the given database (HDB API object WGAPI HDB object)
