Queries an ODBC database. {stub}

New to 4.0

In Analytica 4.0 (but not in Analytica 3.x and earlier), a local index can hold the record set. This means you can create a user-defined function that bundles several database query steps. For example:

 Function DbFullTable( connectionStr,sql : text )
 Definition:
    Index Row := DbQuery(connectionStr,sql);
    Index Column := DbLabels(Row);
    DbTable(Row,Column)

This user-defined function returns the full relational table in a single call, using local indexes, Rows and Columns.
