StandaloneDb Class
Standalone iModels are read/write files that are not associated with an iTwin or managed by iModelHub. They are relevant only for testing, or for small-scale single-user scenarios. Standalone iModels are designed such that the API for Standalone iModels and Briefcase iModels (those synchronized with iModelHub) are as similar and consistent as possible. This leads to a straightforward process where the a user starts with StandaloneDb and can optionally choose to upgrade to an iTwin.
Some additional details. Standalone iModels:
- always have Guid.empty for their iTwinId (they are "unassociated" files)
- always have BriefcaseId === BriefcaseIdValue.Unassigned
- are connected to the frontend via BriefcaseConnection.openStandalone
- may be opened without supplying any user credentials
- may be opened read/write
- cannot apply a changeset to nor generate a changesets (since there is no timeline from which to get/push changesets)
