Hi Dave,

Everything you need to know is in the database section of the PDF 
documentation and the Dictionary (Help->Documentation).

The basic process is:
1) Establish a connection to the database
2) Send your query and get a record set ID
3) Use the record set ID above and revMoveNextRecord... to go through 
each record
4) When you reach the last record, close the connection to the database.
