Chapter 20.  Db_reverse_iterator

This class is the reverse class adaptor for all dbstl iterator classes.

It inherits from real iterator classes like db_vector_iterator , db_map_iterator or db_set_iterator . When you call container::rbegin(), you will get an instance of this class.

Group: Reverse iterator movement functions

When we talk about reverse iterator movement, we think the container is a uni-directional range, represented by [begin, end), and this is true no matter we are using iterators or reverse iterators.

When an iterator is moved closer to "begin", we say it is moved forward, otherwise we say it is moved backward.
