Package database provides a database interface for the decred block chain and transactions.

Please note that this package is intended to enable dcrd to support different database backends and is not something that a client can directly access as only one entity can have the database open at a time (for most database backends), and that entity will be dcrd.

When a client wants programmatic access to the data provided by dcrd, they'll likely want to use the btcrpcclient package which makes use of the [JSON-RPC API] (https://github.com/decred/dcrd/tree/master/docs/json_rpc_api.md).
