A static function in the class AccountNumberCheck::updateDatabase(),<br>
which updates the database when called by the client and returns the <br>
state of operation e.g<br>
<br>
bool AccountNumberCheck::updateDatabase()<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
typedef enum {} UpdateState;<br>
<br>
UpdateState AccountNumberCheck::updateDatabase();<br>
<br>
