2193 :: Need help with documentation comprehension

  Sqlite Library

  API Docs give the following for opening a database.

  proc open(connection, user, password, database: string): DbConn {.tags: [DbEffect],

  raises: [DbError].}

  Yet the larger example show this for an example.

  let theDb = open("mytest.db", nil, nil, nil)

  It seems to me that the arguments passed to open are not in the same order as described in the docs. Can someone help me understand how to read the API docs better? Sorry for all the questions but I'm a newb really trying to understand.

  Thanks Jim

  The reason open is a bit weird is that the db_* modules share the same interface and most databases are more complex than sqlite. So connection is just the file name for sqlite's case, but in general the connection. ;-)
