| close()                    | Closes the connection with the database and frees all allocated resources. **The function must necessarily be called after each call of** *MosOdbc.openReader*. |
| read()                     | Moves the object to the next record of the data set. The function returns *True* if the data set has a next record, otherwise returns *False*.                  |
| getValueByIndex(index)     | Returns the value of the column specified by the numeric argument *index*. *Index* specifies the column sequence number.                                        |
| getValueByName(columnName) | Returns the value of the column specified by the string argument *columnName*. *ColumnName* specifies the column name from the returned query.                  |
