/**
 * @defgroup database Database abstraction layer
 * @{
 * Allow the use of different database servers using the same code base.
 *
 * Drupal provides a slim database abstraction layer to provide developers with
 * the ability to support multiple database servers easily. The intent of this
 * layer is to preserve the syntax and power of SQL as much as possible, while
 * letting Drupal control the pieces of queries that need to be written
 * differently for different servers and provide basic security checks.
 *
 * Most Drupal database queries are performed by a call to db_query() or
 * db_query_range(). Module authors should also consider using pager_query() for
 * queries that return results that need to be presented on multiple pages, and
 * tablesort_sql() for generating appropriate queries for sortable tables.
 *
 * For example, one might wish to return a list of the most recent 10 nodes
 * authored by a given user. Instead of directly issuing the SQL query
 * @code
 *   SELECT n.title, n.body, n.created FROM node n WHERE n.uid = $uid LIMIT 0, 10;
 * @endcode
 * one would instead call the Drupal functions:
 * @code
 *   $result = db_query_range('SELECT n.title, n.body, n.created
 *     FROM {node} n WHERE n.uid = %d', $uid, 0, 10);
 *   while ($node = db_fetch_object($result)) {
 *     // Perform operations on $node->body, etc. here.
 *   }
 * @endcode
 * Curly braces are used around "node" to provide table prefixing via
 * db_prefix_tables(). The explicit use of a user ID is pulled out into an
 * argument passed to db_query() so that SQL injection attacks from user input
 * can be caught and nullified. The LIMIT syntax varies between database servers,
 * so that is abstracted into db_query_range() arguments. Finally, note the
 * common pattern of iterating over the result set using db_fetch_object().
 */

/**
 * Append a database prefix to all tables in a query.
 *
 * Queries sent to Drupal should wrap all table names in curly brackets. This
 * function searches for this syntax and adds Drupal's table prefix to all
 * tables, allowing Drupal to coexist with other systems in the same database if
 * necessary.
 *
 * @param $sql
 *   A string containing a partial or entire SQL query.
 * @return
 *   The properly-prefixed string.
