Detailed Description

Manage connections to/information about the SDR (Shodor Data Repository) database, and perform simple queries relating to metadata records.

This class keeps track of the database connections to SDR. You can call getDBI() to get a direct connection to the Shodor metadata database. You can also use this class to look up basic information about metadata items, and access SDR-related constants, such as what methods the service provides.
