If you have no dbRef on hands, then you 100% know that it is closed :-)

    dbRef = VDatabase_New

    // db still is closed

    VDatabase_Open( dbRef, path )

    // now database is opened.
    VDatabase_IsOpen( dbref )  -> true


    Vdatabase_Close( dbRef )

    // now database is closed.
    VDatabase_IsOpen( dbref )  -> false

It seems to me, you think about case -- when one user can open db and
another again try open it ???

Am I right ?

This is called SHARED ACCESS to db file
Valentina not support this.

If you need multi-user access to database, you need use Valentina Server.
