                            Database is the high level Tango object which contains the link to the static database.
                            Database provides methods for all database commands : get_device_property(),
                            put_device_property(), info(), etc..
                            To create a Database, use the default constructor. Example::

                                db = Database()

                            The constructor uses the TANGO_HOST env. variable to determine which
                            instance of the Database to connect to.

                            If TANGO_HOST env is not set, or you want to connect to a specific database, you can provide host and port to constructor:

                                 db = Database(host: str, port: int)

                                 or:

                                 db = Database(host: str, port: str)

                            Alternatively, it is possible to start Database using file instead of a real database:

                                db = Database(filename: str))doc")

                    Get attribute alias list. The parameter alias is a string to
