Getting list of objects in a database

archive
archive over 17 years ago

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?

    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.
