/trunk/Plink!/Libs/AceDB-3.0
--- AceDB-3.0 allows you to create profiles and smart default values for the SavedVariables of your addon. |
--- **AceDB-3.0** manages the SavedVariables of your addon. |
-- It offers profile management, smart defaults and namespaces for modules.\\ |
-- Data can be saved in different data-types, depending on its intended usage. |
-- The most common data-type is the `profile` type, which allows the user to choose |
-- the active profile, and manage the profiles of all of his characters.\\ |
-- The following data types are available: |
-- * **char** Character-specific data. Every character has its own database. |
-- * **realm** Realm-specific data. All of the players characters on the same realm share this database. |
-- * **class** Class-specific data. All of the players characters of the same class share this database. |
-- * **race** Race-specific data. All of the players characters of the same race share this database. |
-- * **faction** Faction-specific data. All of the players characters of the same faction share this database. |
-- * **factionrealm** Faction and realm specific data. All of the players characters on the same realm and of the same faction share this database. |
-- * **global** Global Data. All characters on the same account share this database. |
-- * **profile** Profile-specific data. All characters using the same profile share this database. The user can control which profile should be used. |
-- |
-- Creating a new Database using the `:New` function will return a new DBObject. A database will inherit all functions |
-- of the DBObjectLib listed here. \\ |
-- If you create a new namespaced child-database (`:RegisterNamespace`), you'll get a DBObject as well, but note |
-- that the child-databases cannot individually change their profile, and are linked to their parents profile - and because of that, |
-- the profile related APIs are not available. Only `:RegisterDefaults` and `:ResetProfile` are available on child-databases. |
-- |
-- For more details on how to use AceDB-3.0, see the [[AceDB-3.0 Tutorial]]. |
-- |
-- You may also be interested in [[libdualspec-1-0|LibDualSpec-1.0]] to do profile switching automatically when switching specs. |

--- Creates a new database object that can be used to handle database settings and profiles. |
-- By default, an empty DB is created, using a character specific profile. |
-- |
-- You can override the default profile used by passing any profile name as the third argument, |
-- or by passing //true// as the third argument to use a globally shared profile called "Default". |
-- |
-- Note that there is no token replacement in the default profile name, passing a defaultProfile as "char" |
-- will use a profile named "char", and not a character-specific profile. |
-- @param tbl The name of variable, or table to use for the database |
-- @param defaults A table of database defaults |
-- @param defaultProfile The name of the default profile |
-- @param defaultProfile The name of the default profile. If not set, a character specific profile will be used as the default. |
