Comms Database

The Comms Database provides system wide storage for communications related settings.

Comunications related settings specify the available connections. The settings can also enable connections. Information is arranged into a number of different tables. For example, tables of Internet Access Providers (IAPs) and tables of Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

The Comms Database provides an abstract data storage API to tools and applications. This API allows future versions of Symbian platform to change the implementation of the data store.
