Synopsis

void appenddb(string, set)

Description

The appenddb command adds the factbase currently in memory to a Rigi Standard Format (RSF) file. The first argument - a string - should contain the pathname of the RSF factbase to write to. The pathname must be either relative from the current directory, or absolute. Tilde expansion or other shell-like expansions are not performed on the pathname string. If the file does not exist, it is created; appenddb will not create new directories, however.

The second parameter should contain the set of relation names you would like appended to the existing factbase. Only relations which exist and have their names listed in the provided set are saved to the file.

BUG. Appenddb is currently affected by a severe bug. Rather than outputting information in RSF format, as expected, it prints out TA (Tuple-Attribute) data instead. This makes it equivalent to the appendta command, and unusable for appending data to RSF files. This page will be updated as soon as this bug is fixed.
