Hi:
Between 3.0 PR2 and the final 3.0 Release, there was a minor DBKit API change  
that didn't make into the online technical documentation and one DBKit example  
in the release. If you are interested, you can get the new AddressBook example  
via anonymous ftp (file transfer protocol) from one of the following Internet  
archive servers. Note that they may still be in /pub/next/submissions.

MiniExamples are small programming examples provided by NeXT Developer Support.   
Each one contains its own README file.  

The August 92 Release contains 2 miniexamples for the 3.0 NeXTStep Release.

The AddressBook example shows you some simple usage of the DBKit Access Layer  
such as how to get connected to a SYBASE server, and how to do simple  
operations such as select, update, and delete. This example supersedes the same  
example that comes with the 3.0 Release under  
/NextDeveloper/Examples/DatabaseKit that doesn't work properly.
Please note that the on-line documentation for the method saveModifications:  
for  DBRecordList has some errors.  A return value 0 should mean success. Here  
are the corrections for DBRecordList. 
The possible return values from saveModifications: are as follows:
Value	Reason
0	The save operation was successful.
1	The save completed but not all records were saved.  This happens if  
errors are encountered but the delegate requests that the save proceeds anyway.
DB_NoIndex	Either the DBRecordList isn't ready (its status is DB_NotReady  
or DB_NoRecordKey), or one or  more records in the database have changed since  
they were fetched and the delegate hasn't forced the modifications to be saved.   
(See recordStream:willFailForReason: 	(DBRecordStream))

 
The TextORama example is a 2.0 example adapted to 3.0. It illustrates two  
things:
  How to create a TextField which supports one or more of these features:
- Restricting text length (both when typing and pasting).
- Autojumping to another TextField when maximum length is reached.
- Interpreting a carriage return literally rather than as an indication to end  
editing.
  How to implement emacs key binding support for the Text object.

Enjoy!
