1  –  db-handle

    The name of the variable you will use to refer to the database.
    Do not use a file name for the db-handle.

2  –  COMMIT

    When the DBKEY SCOPE IS COMMIT clause is specified with a
    DEFINE DATABASE statement, this means that the database key
    (dbkey) of each record used is guaranteed not to change during
    each transaction. That is, if a record is erased, its dbkey is
    guaranteed not to be reused by another database user until after
    a COMMIT statement is executed.

3  –  FINISH

    When the DBKEY SCOPE IS FINISH clause is specified with a DEFINE
    DATABASE statement, this means that the database key (dbkey)
    of each record used is guaranteed not to change until the
    user detaches from the database (usually, by using the FINISH
    statement).
