All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractDBaseUpdate, DBaseIVMemoUpdate
public interface DBaseUpdate
This is the interface for all objects that update DBase Files. The goal of the DBase Update class is to provide a way to abstractly save objects to a xBase type of file. (DBase is included in the xBase class of data base files). When an object changes the Database storage needs a flexible way to rewrite the xBase file in order to remove columns or add new ones, without losing any data
