Difference between revdb_connect and revOpenDatabases ?

As you thought, the "revdb" set are older and the "rev" ones are the
more modern equivalents. You can use either but you need to be careful
because in some cases one will be a function and the equivalent will
be a command. This means that they are not always completely
interchangeable.

I prefer using the "rev" ones but that is just my preference - there
is nothing wrong with using the "revdb" options.
