	CanCompact	States whether the data source is able to compact.
	ClearChanged	Clears any modified flags (use with care!)
	Close	Close the data source connection
	Compact	Compact a database.
	Create	Create the data source connection, possibly overwriting an existing data source
	Directory	Get the directory associated with a data source.
