$ms = Db::Mediasurface->new( config_file=>$path2config );

Create a new Db::Mediasurface object by supplying either the path to a valid Mediasurface configuration file (usually named ms.properties), or a Db::Mediasurface::ReadConfig object.

Methods

$ms_version = $ms->version;

Returns the database schema version.
