SaveDatabase(FileName, DatabaseArray[][, login, password])
SaveDatabase is the reverse of
loadDatabase
which loads a text database file into an array.
Each record is an element in the array, however the fields
are not directly readable because they are stored in a format
that speeds up their extraction.
If you have added some new records to a database
(with makeRecord)
or created a database from scratch, and want to save it to the
usual text format, then you should use saveDatabase.
SaveDatabase can save a database to another PC by using
the FTP protocol. This is when you need to specify a login
and password.
saveDatabase("ftp://ftp.server.com/somedir/anotherdir/aDatabase.txt", db[], "login", "password")
Protocols supported: ftp and file.
Return value:
the total number of bytes written, or -1 if there has been an error
in which case _errno might contain details of the problem.
See makeRecord for a programing example.
