AdminConnection

Author:Neil Wallace (neil@openmolar.com) Release:2.0.906~hg207 Date:April 18, 2013

Inherits from OpenmolarDatabase adding some functionality required only by the openmolar admin application.

A very important function is populateDemo() which populates the current database with demo data. This dangerous action is only performed if the database name ends with _demo or _test to prevent random data going into a real database.

Note

If this class is initiated with no arguments, a connection to the openmolar_demo on localhost will be established if possible.
