%% The VBS database API is centered around the data records:
%%
%% * Tables are named after the records. ``vbs_adult`` records are stored in
%% a table named ``vbs_adult``.
%% * The functions that make up the database API are grouped into modules named
%% after the records on which they operate. The ``vbs_adult`` module contains
%% the standard VBS database API functions that work with ``vbs_adult``
%% records.
%%
