FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Reading tables
Table object is both array accessible and traversable. You can loop over it as collection or read specific record by it's index.
``
Inserting rows
You can insert records as record object or as an associative array.
Note that insert operation is not atomic. Use transactions to achieve integrity safety.
`

| Dbase type | Type name | Possible values | PHP type |
|---|---|---|---|
| C | Character | any string | string |
| D | Date | DDMMYY | DateTime |
| L | Logical | [YTNF?] | boolean |

Transactions
Transactions can prevent two processes from updating the same file.
When some process cannot acquire lock on the table exception is being thrown.
Transactions can also save you from unnecessary header updates. Header is updated at the end of transaction.
``
Defining tables
To construct new table use builder object.
``
Creating table from another table
You can create new table form existing table definition.
`
Filters
Although values are automatically converted based on column type sometimes it is necessary to perform additional processing. To achieve that you can add filters on columns.
Using filters
``
Filters are applied during loading in the order they are defined. During serialization filters are applied in reversed order.
Writing custom filter
