How to understand the nomenclature of dbGet commands?

Hello everyoneSlight smile

A beginner here. I am trying to understand dbget commands. But it would really help me, if I could get a source which tells me how they have given the names to the commands. I'm not able to understand what are sWire, Hinsts, terms, etc. I see that the detailed explanation is not available in cadence text command reference website. So could you please tell how can I understand them ?

Thank you Slight smile

    One document that can help you understanding the nomenclature is the Innovus Database Object Information.

    The rapid adoption kit (RAK) Database Access with DBTCL  is also handy to understand how to use database commands.

    For example, if you search for sWire in support.cadence.com you will find that it means "special wire". You can now further search for that,
    and find other related articles. For example this one : What are regular nets and special nets, and how can I swap their net types ?
