LINEDB\USE IN|OUT|BOTH dbname1 [[dbname2] [dbname3...]] [/OVER-
WRITE]
Define the atomic and molecular line database(s) used as input and/or
output.
Input databases can be either an existing filenames or a database avail-
able through internet. Recognized internet databases are
JPL the JPL molecular spectroscopy database
CDMS, the Cologne Database for Molecular Spectrocopy
VOPARIS the Paris VO observatory interface to the CDMS database
These names can thus not be used as database filenames.
The input file is tested to determine whether it is a valid SQLITE
database. If not, it is assumed to be an ASCII file following the JPL
data format, see e.g.
http://spec.jpl.nasa.gov/ftp/pub/catalog/README, and
http://spec.jpl.nasa.gov/ftp/pub/catalog/catdir.html for examples.
Multiple input databases can be used together. However, only one output
database can be defined at a given time. The OUT and BOTH keywords ap-
plies only to SQLITE databases. The /OVERWRITE option implies that the
output database is first removed. The absence of the option implies that
any subsequent call to the INSERT command will append lines to the al-
ready existing output database.
