                            java.lang.String forcedFileType)
```
    Opens a database at a given time state, with the opportunity for setting additional options related to the addition of default plots or a forced file type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    database - The name of the database to open -- a filename. If the file exists on a remote computer, then you can supply a name of the form: host:/path/file.ext
    
    timeState - The time state at which we're opening the database (gte0). Pass 0 if you don't prefer a later time state.
    
    addDefaultPlots - True to add default plots if the database supports them or false to prevent default plots from being added.
    
    forcedFileType - The name of a database plugin that should be used to open the database (e.g. "Silo_1.0"). If you don't care which plugin opens the database, pass "".
    
    Returns:
    
    true on success; false otherwise.
  - CloseDatabase
```
public boolean CloseDatabase(java.lang.String database)
```
    Closes the named database -- if it is not being used.
    
    Parameters:
    
    database - The name of the database to open -- a filename. If the file exists on a remote computer, then you can supply a name of the form: host:/path/file.ext

  - ActivateDatabase
```
public boolean ActivateDatabase(java.lang.String database)
```
    Makes the named database be the active database, which is the database that can be used to create plots and is the database whose variables are shown in the plot menus. A database can only be made active if it has been previously opened via OpenDatabase().
    
    Parameters:
    
    database - The name of the database to open -- a filename. If the file exists on a remote computer, then you can supply a name of the form: host:/path/file.ext
    
    Returns:

  - CheckForNewStates
```
public boolean CheckForNewStates(java.lang.String database)
```
    If the database is a virtual database (collection of single related files that have been grouped into a time-varying database) then this method checks to see if there are any new files that need to be added to the database. This method is cheaper than ReOpenDatabase since it adds new files to a database without causing plots to be regenerated. This method is used when you are monitoring the progress of a simulation that keeps writing out files that you want to plot.
    
    Parameters:
    
    database - The name of the database to open -- a filename. If the file exists on a remote computer, then you can supply a name of the form: host:/path/file.ext
    
    Returns:
    
    true on success; false otherwise.
  - ReOpenDatabase
```
public boolean ReOpenDatabase(java.lang.String database,
                              boolean forceClose)
```
    Reopens a database that has been opened before, adding new time states if they exist and causing all plots to be regenerated using the new data. This method can be useful when you overwrite a database that VisIt was plotting and you want to plot the new data.
    
    Parameters:
    
    database - The name of the database to open -- a filename. If the file exists on a remote computer, then you can supply a name of the form: host:/path/file.ext
    
    Returns:
    
    true on success; false otherwise.
  - ReplaceDatabase
```
public boolean ReplaceDatabase(java.lang.String database,
                               int timeState)
```
    Replaces the database in the current plots with the specified database. Note that if the new database does not contain the variables for a plot then the plot will not have its database changed to the database provided by this method. ReplaceDatabase can be useful in the situation where you have set up a visualization using results from one simulation and then you want to replace the plots' database with the results of a related but different simulation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    database - The name of the database to open -- a filename. If the file exists on a remote computer, then you can supply a name of the form: host:/path/file.ext
    
    timeState - The time state at which to open the database (gte0). Pass 0 if you don't prefer a later time state.
    
    Returns:
    
    true on success; false otherwise.
  - OverlayDatabase
```
public boolean OverlayDatabase(java.lang.String database,
                               int timeState)
```
    Opens the specified database and creates duplicates of all of the existing plots using the new database.
    
    Parameters:
    
    database - The name of the database to open -- a filename. If the file exists on a remote computer, then you can supply a name of the form: host:/path/file.ext
    
    timeState - The time state at which to open the database (gte0). Pass 0 if you don't prefer a later time state.
    
    Returns:
    
    true on success; false otherwise.
  - RequestMetaData
```
public boolean RequestMetaData(java.lang.String database,
                               int timeState)
```
    Requests metadata for the specified database at a particular time state. You can use the metadata to determine information such as which variables are in the database. The metadata comes back in the avtDatabaseMetaData object in ViewerState.This method does not disrupt the active database.
    
    Parameters:
    
    database - The name of the database to open -- a filename. If the file exists on a remote computer, then you can supply a name of the form: host:/path/file.ext
    
    timeState - The time state at which to open the database (gte0). You can provide a time state since some databases can provide different metadata depending on the time state. If you don't know or don't care about the time state then pass 0.

    flag - true if VisIt should take the extra effort, which can be significant; false otherwise.
    
    Returns:
    
    true on success; false otherwise.
  - SetTreatAllDBsAsTimeVarying
```
public boolean SetTreatAllDBsAsTimeVarying(int flag)
```
    Sets whether VisIt should treat all time-varying databases as having dynamic metadata.

This option can often have a negative performance impact but it allows you to acquire variables that appear later in the file sequence that makes up the database.
    
    Parameters:
    
    flag - true if VisIt should treat all databases as having dynamic metadata.
    
    Returns:
    
    true on success; false otherwise.

    // Modify the atts here... (not shown)
    atts.Notify();
    proxy.GetViewerMethods().SetInteractorAttributes();
