| $coltext | $coltext(vVarRef) Returns a SQL text description of the vVarRef parameter for use in a SQL statement |
| $commit | $commit() Commits session transaction. Returns kTrue on success, kFalse otherwise |
| $createnames | $createnames(vTableDef[,bNullInfo,bPrimaryKeys]) Returns a text string defining the columns and types to be used as part of a SQL CREATE TABLE statement |
| $definelistorrow | $definelistorrow(&vListOrRow,cTableName) defines a list or row from a server table |
| $insertnames | $insertnames(wRowRef) Returns a text string which is a comma delimited list specifiying the columns to be used in a SQL INSERT statement |
| $logoff | $logoff() Drop connection to server. Returns kTrue on success, kFalse otherwise |
| $logon | $logon(cHostname,cUsername,cPassword[,cSessionName]) Connect session to server. Returns kTrue on success, kFalse otherwise |
