| CeFlushDBVol (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to forcibly flush all pending changes that have been made to a volume. |
| CeFreeNotification (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to free a CENOTIFICATION pointer that was posted to a client's notification window. |
| CeGetDatabaseProps (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to retrieve information on some or all of the properties from a database. |
| CeGetDatabaseSession (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to obtain the session of an already opened database. |
| CeGetDBInformationByHandle (EDB) | X | X | This function obtains information about an open database by using the handle of the database. |
| CeMountDBVol (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to mount a volume. EDB applications should use CeMountDBVolEx (EDB). |
| CeMountDBVolEx (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to mount a database volume. |
| CeOidGetInfoEx2 (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to obtain information about an OID that was generated by EDB. |
| CeOpenDatabaseInSession (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to open an existing database that is in a mounted volume |
| CeOpenStream (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to open a stream object on a CEVT_STREAM typed property. |

| CeReadRecordPropsEx (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to read a set of properties from the current record. |
| CeRemoveDatabaseProps (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to remove properties from a database. |
| CeSeekDatabase (EDB) | X | X | This CEDB function seeks the specified record in an open database. EDB applications should use CeSeekDatabaseEx (EDB). |
| CeSeekDatabaseEx (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to seek to a specific record in an open database. |
| CeSetDatabaseInfo (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to set various database parameters, including the name, sort orders, and type. |
| CeSetSessionOption (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to set a per-session option. |
| CeStreamRead (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to read data from a stream. |
| CeStreamSaveChanges (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to commit the changes that have been made to the stream using the CeStreamWrite function. |
| CeStreamSeek (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to change the current seek position of an opened stream. |
| CeStreamSetSize (EDB) | X | X | This function is used to set the size of data in a stream. |
