Getting list of objects in a database

Say I have this code which opens a cell view and assigns the database id to test.
test = dbOpenCellViewByType("library" "cellname" "view")
Is there a way to get a list of all the available objects in this database?
Right now, I loop through each object and print its name.
foreach(i test~>instances println(i~>cellName) )
For debugging I would like to be able to print a tree of the heirachy of the database. Is this possible?
Does the dbFindProp() function have something to do with this?

Design->Hierarchy->Tree has already got all the info apart from top level shapes which can be accessed using:
test~>shapes

That gives me the hierarchy of cells, but I want objects such as test~>libName.
I need a list of all the data objects available inside the test database such as libName, cellName, layerName etc.

Try the attached code. I think you'll find it useful...

test~>? gives you all the attributes
test~>?? gives all the attributes and their values

But remember that some of the values could be db ID's so a further foreach will be required.

dataBrowser.il will give you a graphic represenation of database so you can drill down by just a click.

I didn't even have to load dataBrowser.il because TI had already loaded it into Cadence!

I can learn a lot from that source code. Thanks!

Can someone please upload dataBrowser.il again?
It seems to be missing from the forums.
