/**
 * @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.nid, n.title, 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.nid, n.title, 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().

/**
* @defgroup schemaapi Schema API
* @{
*
* A Drupal schema definition is an array structure representing one or
* more tables and their related keys and indexes. A schema is defined by
* hook_schema(), which usually lives in a modulename.install file.
*
* By implementing hook_schema() and specifying the tables your module
* declares, you can easily create and drop these tables on all
* supported database engines. You don't have to deal with the
* different SQL dialects for table creation and alteration of the
* supported database engines.
*
* hook_schema() should return an array with a key for each table that
* the module defines.
*
* The following keys are defined:
*
*   - 'description': A string describing this table and its purpose.
*     References to other tables should be enclosed in
*     curly-brackets.  For example, the node_revisions table
*     description field might contain "Stores per-revision title and
*     body data for each {node}."
*   - 'fields': An associative array ('fieldname' => specification)
*     that describes the table's database columns.  The specification
*     is also an array.  The following specification parameters are defined:
*     - 'description': A string describing this field and its purpose.
*       References to other tables should be enclosed in
*       curly-brackets.  For example, the node table vid field
*       description might contain "Always holds the largest (most
*       recent) {node_revisions}.vid value for this nid."
*     - 'type': The generic datatype: 'varchar', 'int', 'serial'
*       'float', 'numeric', 'text', 'blob' or 'datetime'.  Most types
*       just map to the according database engine specific
*       datatypes.  Use 'serial' for auto incrementing fields. This
*       will expand to 'int auto_increment' on mysql.
*     - 'serialize': A boolean indicating whether the field will be stored
        as a serialized string.
*     - 'size': The data size: 'tiny', 'small', 'medium', 'normal',
*       'big'.  This is a hint about the largest value the field will
*       store and determines which of the database engine specific
*       datatypes will be used (e.g. on MySQL, TINYINT vs. INT vs. BIGINT).
*       'normal', the default, selects the base type (e.g. on MySQL,
*       INT, VARCHAR, BLOB, etc.).
*       Not all sizes are available for all data types. See
*       db_type_map() for possible combinations.
*     - 'not null': If true, no NULL values will be allowed in this
*       database column.  Defaults to false.
*     - 'default': The field's default value.  The PHP type of the
*       value matters: '', '0', and 0 are all different.  If you
*       specify '0' as the default value for a type 'int' field it
*       will not work because '0' is a string containing the
*       character "zero", not an integer.
*     - 'length': The maximal length of a type 'char', 'varchar' or 'text'
*       field.  Ignored for other field types.
*     - 'unsigned': A boolean indicating whether a type 'int', 'float'
*       and 'numeric' only is signed or unsigned.  Defaults to
*       FALSE.  Ignored for other field types.
*     - 'precision', 'scale': For type 'numeric' fields, indicates
*       the precision (total number of significant digits) and scale
*       (decimal digits right of the decimal point).  Both values are
*       mandatory.  Ignored for other field types.
*     All parameters apart from 'type' are optional except that type
*     'numeric' columns must specify 'precision' and 'scale'.
*  - 'primary key': An array of one or more key column specifiers (see below)
*    that form the primary key.
*  - 'unique keys': An associative array of unique keys ('keyname' =>
*    specification).  Each specification is an array of one or more
*    key column specifiers (see below) that form a unique key on the table.
*  - 'indexes':  An associative array of indexes ('indexame' =>
*    specification).  Each specification is an array of one or more
*    key column specifiers (see below) that form an index on the
*    table.
*
* A key column specifier is either a string naming a column or an
* array of two elements, column name and length, specifying a prefix
* of the named column.
*
* As an example, here is a SUBSET of the schema definition for
* Drupal's 'node' table.  It show four fields (nid, vid, type, and
* title), the primary key on field 'nid', a unique key named 'vid' on
* field 'vid', and two indexes, one named 'nid' on field 'nid' and
* one named 'node_title_type' on the field 'title' and the first four
* bytes of the field 'type':
*
* @code
* $schema['node'] = array(
*   'fields' => array(
*     'nid'      => array('type' => 'serial', 'unsigned' => TRUE, 'not null' => TRUE),
*     'vid'      => array('type' => 'int', 'unsigned' => TRUE, 'not null' => TRUE, 'default' => 0),
*     'type'     => array('type' => 'varchar', 'length' => 32, 'not null' => TRUE, 'default' => ''),
