--- Manage the mission database. 
-- 
-- @{#DATABASE} class
-- ==================
-- Mission designers can use the DATABASE class to refer to:
-- 
--  * UNITS
--  * GROUPS
--  * players
--  * alive players
--  * CLIENTS
--  * alive CLIENTS
--  
-- On top, for internal MOOSE administration purposes, the DATBASE administers the Unit and Gruop templates as defined within the Mission Editor.
-- 
-- Moose will automatically create one instance of the DATABASE class into the **global** object _DATABASE.
-- Moose refers to _DATABASE within the framework extensively, but you can also refer to the _DATABASE object within your missions if required.
-- 
-- DATABASE iterators:
-- ===================
-- You can iterate the database with the available iterator methods.
-- The iterator methods will walk the DATABASE set, and call for each element within the set a function that you provide.
-- The following iterator methods are currently available within the DATABASE:
-- 
--   * @{#DATABASE.ForEachUnit}: Calls a function for each @{UNIT} it finds within the DATABASE.
--   * @{#DATABASE.ForEachGroup}: Calls a function for each @{GROUP} it finds within the DATABASE.
--   * @{#DATABASE.ForEachPlayer}: Calls a function for each player it finds within the DATABASE.
--   * @{#DATABASE.ForEachPlayerAlive}: Calls a function for each alive player it finds within the DATABASE.
--   * @{#DATABASE.ForEachClient}: Calls a function for each @{CLIENT} it finds within the DATABASE.
--   * @{#DATABASE.ForEachClientAlive}: Calls a function for each alive @{CLIENT} it finds within the DATABASE.
