## Open Database

This function is used to open an album or track database if not already open.

The path may contain any of the escape sequences described in Escape Sequences. At runtime, the path to a database must be absolute (/) or relative to the home folder (~/) and must have a filename extension of .csv, .tsv or .tab.

The Update database values after opening option has the same effect as choosing Update Database Values from Open Files from the Database Viewer window's context menu. The values of open files will be used to refresh the values in the database. Any open files not already in the database will be added.

This function is not valid during Grouped or Batched modes
