 *  Whenever an entry is removed from the database both the key and the      *
 *  data are requested to be released.                                       *
 *  At least one entry is removed when replacing an entry, removing an       *
 *  entry, clearing the database or destroying the database.                 *
 *  What is actually released is defined by the release function, the        *
 *  functions of the database only ask for the key and/or data to be         *
 *  released.                                                                *

 *    2007/11/09 - Added an iterator to the database.
 *    2.1 (Athena build #???#) - Portability fix                             *
 *      - Fixed the portability of casting to union and added the functions  *

 *        {@link DBMap#clear(DBMap,DBApply,...)}.                            *
 *    2.0 (Athena build 4859) - Transition version                           *
 *      - Almost everything recoded with a strategy similar to objects,      *
 *        database structure is maintained.                                  *
