You can use this module for accessing a note database. There are currently two versions of this module, one version for a \s-1SQL\s0 database and one for a binary file (note's own database-format). However, both versions provides identical interfaces, which means, you do not need to change your code, if you want to switch to another database format.

Currently, \s-1NOTEDB\s0 module is only used by note itself. But feel free to use it within your own project! Perhaps someone want to implement a webinterface to note...

please see the section \s-1SYNOPSIS\s0, it says it all.
