/**
 * @defgroup dbtng_example Example: Database (DBTNG)
 * @ingroup examples
 * @{
 * Database examples, including DBTNG.
 *
 * 'DBTNG' means 'Database: The Next Generation.' Yes, Drupallers are nerds.
 *
 * General documentation is available at
 * @link database.inc database abstraction layer documentation @endlink and
 * at @link http://drupal.org/node/310069 Database API @endlink.
 *
 * The several examples here demonstrate basic database usage.
 *
 * In Drupal 6, the recommended method to save or update an entry in the
 * database was drupal_write_record() or db_query().
 *
 * In Drupal 7 and forward, the usage of db_query()
 * for INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE is deprecated, because it is
 * database-dependent. Instead specific functions are provided to perform these
 * operations: db_insert(), db_update(), and db_delete() do the job now.
 * (Note that drupal_write_record() is also deprecated.)
 *
 * db_insert() example:
 * @code
 *   // INSERT INTO {dbtng_example} (name, surname) VALUES('John, 'Doe')
 *   db_insert('dbtng_example')
 *     ->fields(array('name' => 'John', 'surname' => 'Doe'))
 *     ->execute();
 * @endcode
 *
 * db_update() example:
 * @code
 *   // UPDATE {dbtng_example} SET name = 'Jane' WHERE name = 'John'
 *   db_update('dbtng_example')
 *     ->fields(array('name' => 'Jane'))
 *     ->condition('name', 'John')
 *     ->execute();
 * @endcode
 *
 * db_delete() example:
 * @code
 *   // DELETE FROM {dbtng_example} WHERE name = 'Jane'
 *   db_delete('dbtng_example')
 *     ->condition('name', 'Jane')
 *     ->execute();
 * @endcode
 *
 * See @link database Database Abstraction Layer @endlink
 * @see db_insert()
 * @see db_update()
 * @see db_delete()
 * @see drupal_write_record()
*/

/**
 * Save an entry in the database.
 *
 * The underlying DBTNG function is db_insert().
 *
 * In Drupal 6, this would have been:
 * @code
 *   db_query(
 *     "INSERT INTO {dbtng_example} (name, surname, age)
 *       VALUES ('%s', '%s', '%d')",
 *     $entry['name'],
 *     $entry['surname'],
 *     $entry['age']
 *   );
 * @endcode
 *
 * Exception handling is shown in this example. It could be simplified
 * without the try/catch blocks, but since an insert will throw an exception
 * and terminate your application if the exception is not handled, it is best
 * to employ try/catch.
 *
 * @param $entry
 *   An array containing all the fields of the database record.
 *
 * @see db_insert()

/**
 * Read from the database using a filter array.
 *
 * In Drupal 6, the standard function to perform reads was db_query(), and
 * for static queries, it still is.
 *
 * db_query() used an SQL query with placeholders and arguments as parameters.
 *
 * @code
 *  // Old way
 *  $query = "SELECT * FROM {dbtng_example} n WHERE n.uid = %d AND name = '%s'";
 *  $result = db_query($query, $uid, $name);
 * @endcode
 *
 * Drupal 7 DBTNG provides an abstracted interface that will work with a wide
 * variety of database engines.
 *
 * db_query() is deprecated except when doing a static query. The following is
 * perfectly acceptable in Drupal 7. See
 * @link http://drupal.org/node/310072 the handbook page on static queries @endlink
 *
 * @code
 *   // SELECT * FROM {dbtng_example} WHERE uid = 0 AND name = 'John'
 *   db_query(
 *     "SELECT * FROM {dbtng_example} WHERE uid = :uid and name = :name",
 *     array(':uid' => 0, ':name' => 'John')
 *   )->execute();
 * @endcode
 *
 * But for more dynamic queries, Drupal provides the db_select()
 * API method, so there are several ways to perform the same SQL query.
 * See the @link http://drupal.org/node/310075 handbook page on dynamic queries. @endlink
 *
 * @code
 *   // SELECT * FROM {dbtng_example} WHERE uid = 0 AND name = 'John'
 *   db_select('dbtng_example')
 *     ->fields('dbtng_example')
 *     ->condition('uid', 0)
 *     ->condition('name', 'John')
 *     ->execute();
 * @endcode
 *
 * Here is db_select with named placeholders:
 * @code
 *   // SELECT * FROM {dbtng_example} WHERE uid = 0 AND name = 'John'
 *   $arguments = array(':name' => 'John', ':uid' => 0);
 *   db_select('dbtng_example')
 *     ->fields('dbtng_example')
 *     ->where('uid = :uid AND name = :name', $arguments)
 *     ->execute();
 * @endcode
 *
 * Conditions are stacked and evaluated as AND and OR depending on the type of
 * query. For more information, read the conditional queries handbook page at:
 * http://drupal.org/node/310086
 *
 * The condition argument is an 'equal' evaluation by default, but this can be
 * altered:
 * @code
 *   // SELECT * FROM {dbtng_example} WHERE age > 18
 *   db_select('dbtng_example')
 *     ->fields('dbtng_example')
 *     ->condition('age', 18, '>')
 *     ->execute();
 * @endcode
 *
 * @param $entry
 *   An array containing all the fields used to search the entries in the table.
 * @return
 *   An object containing the loaded entries if found.
 *
 * @see db_select()
 * @see db_query()
 * @see http://drupal.org/node/310072
