Class: symantec.itools.db.pro.MultiView

Purpose	Represents a MultiView.
Hierarchy	`java.lang.Object \| +----symantec.itools.db.pro.MultiView`
Syntax	`public class MultiView extends Object`
Description	MultiView is a container class for the dbANYWHERE database transaction object. A MultiView contains a transaction's RelationViews. To interact with a dbANYWHERE Server, you do not have to interface directly with a MultiView object. However, a MultiView object can be useful to global transactions that have a handle to a MultiView object. The RelationView class can encapsulate a MultiView object. For example, RelationView.saveMultiView( ) translates to MultiView.save( ) for the RelationView's parent MultiView.

close( ): Closes a MultiView.
getRootRelView( ): Returns a MultiView's root RelationView.
isDataChanged( ): Indicates whether or not a MultiView's data changed.
restart( ): Restarts a MultiView.
restart( String newWhereClause )
save( ): Saves a MultiView's data changes.
undoDataChanges( ): Undoes a MultiView's data changes.
