LexDbFunctions

The LexDB uses a PostgreSQL database to provide a source of lexical items for client applications such as the LKB. This page provides a description of the internal (but "public") database functions used by a client connected to the LexDB. See also LexDbInternals for some documentation on the structure of the database itself.
