+character; if the value passed contains a backlash it will be replaced with a

- float for column 3 (e.g. PRICE * 1.10 to increase the price by

+\section{\class{wxDbGridTableBase}}\label{wxdbgridtablebase}
+
+You can view a database table in a grid using this class.
+
+If you are deriving your own wxDbTable subclass for your table , then you may consider
+overriding GetCol() and SetCol() to provide calculated fields. This does work but care should
+be taken when using wxDbGridTableBase in this way.
+
+The constructor and AssignDbTable() call allows you to specify the ownership if the wxDbTable
+object pointer. If you tell wxGridTableBase to take ownership , it will delete the passed wxDbTable
+when an new on is assigned or wxGridTableBase's destructor is called.
+However no checks for aliasing are done so Assign(table,..,true); Assign(table,..,true);
+is an error. If you need to requery an table object the preferred way is
+that the client keeps ownership.
