<?php
/** @file
 * This package contains classes for handling database transactions from
 * within QueryPath.
 *
 * The tools here use the PDO (PHP Data Objects) library to execute database
 * functions.
 *
 * Using tools in this package, you can write QueryPath database queries
 * that query an RDBMS and then insert the results into the document.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * @code
 * <?php
 * $template = '<?xml version="1.0"?><tr><td class="colOne"/><td class="colTwo"/><td class="colThree"/></tr>';
 * $qp = qp(QueryPath::HTML_STUB, 'body') // Open a stub HTML doc and select <body/>
 *  ->append('<table><tbody/></table>')
 *  ->dbInit($this->dsn)
 *  ->queryInto('SELECT * FROM qpdb_test WHERE 1', array(), $template)
 *  ->doneWithQuery()
 *  ->writeHTML();
 * ?>
 * @endcode
 *
 * The code above will take the results of a SQL query and insert them into a n
 * HTML table.
 *
 * If you are doing many database operations across multiple QueryPath objects,
 * it is better to avoid using {@link QPDB::dbInit()}. Instead, you should 
 * call the static {@link QPDB::baseDB()} method to configure a single database
 * connection that can be shared by all {@link QueryPath} instances.
 *
 * Thus, we could rewrite the above to look like this:
 * @code
  * <?php
  * QPDB::baseDB($someDN);
  *
  * $template = '<?xml version="1.0"?><tr><td class="colOne"/><td class="colTwo"/><td class="colThree"/></tr>';
  * $qp = qp(QueryPath::HTML_STUB, 'body') // Open a stub HTML doc and select <body/>
  *  ->append('<table><tbody/></table>')
  *  ->queryInto('SELECT * FROM qpdb_test WHERE 1', array(), $template)
  *  ->doneWithQuery()
  *  ->writeHTML();
  * ?>
  * @endcode
 *
 * Note that in this case, the QueryPath object doesn't need to call a method to
 * activate the database. There is no call to {@link dbInit()}. Instead, it checks
 * the base class to find the shared database.
 *
 * (Note that if you were to add a dbInit() call to the above, it would create
 * a new database connection.)
 *
 * The result of both of these examples will be identical.
 * The output looks something like this:
 * 
 * @code
 * <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
 * <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 * <head>
 *  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></meta>
 * 	<title>Untitled</title>
 * </head>
 *<body>
 *<table>
 * <tbody>
 *  <tr>
 *   <td class="colOne">Title 0</td>
 *   <td class="colTwo">Body 0</td>
 *   <td class="colThree">Footer 0</td>
 *  </tr>
 *  <tr>
 *   <td class="colOne">Title 1</td>
 *   <td class="colTwo">Body 1</td>
 *   <td class="colThree">Footer 1</td>
 *  </tr>
 *  <tr>
 *   <td class="colOne">Title 2</td>
 *   <td class="colTwo">Body 2</td>
 *   <td class="colThree">Footer 2</td>
 *  </tr>
 *  <tr>
 *   <td class="colOne">Title 3</td>
 *   <td class="colTwo">Body 3</td>
 *   <td class="colThree">Footer 3</td>
 *  </tr>
 *  <tr>
 *   <td class="colOne">Title 4</td>
 *   <td class="colTwo">Body 4</td>
 *   <td class="colThree">Footer 4</td>
 *  </tr>
 * </tbody>
 *</table>
 *</body>
 *</html>
 * @endcode
 *
 * Note how the CSS classes are used to correlate DB table names to template
 * locations.

/**
 * Provide DB access to a QueryPath object.
 *
 * This extension provides tools for communicating with a database using the 
 * QueryPath library. It relies upon PDO for underlying database communiction. This
 * means that it supports all databases that PDO supports, including MySQL, 
 * PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
 *
 * Here is an extended example taken from the unit tests for this library.
 * 
 * Let's say we create a database with code like this:
 * @code
 *<?php
 * public function setUp() {
 *   $this->db = new PDO($this->dsn);
 *   $this->db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
 *   $this->db->exec('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS qpdb_test (colOne, colTwo, colThree)');
 *   
 *   $stmt = $this->db->prepare(
 *     'INSERT INTO qpdb_test (colOne, colTwo, colThree) VALUES (:one, :two, :three)'
 *   );
 *   
 *   for ($i = 0; $i < 5; ++$i) {
 *     $vals = array(':one' => 'Title ' . $i, ':two' => 'Body ' . $i, ':three' => 'Footer ' . $i);
 *     $stmt->execute($vals);
 *     $stmt->closeCursor();
 *   }
 * }
 * ?>
 * @endcode
 * 
 * From QueryPath with QPDB, we can now do very elaborate DB chains like this:
 *
 * @code
 * <?php
 * $sql = 'SELECT * FROM qpdb_test';
 * $args = array();
 * $qp = qp(QueryPath::HTML_STUB, 'body') // Open a stub HTML doc and select <body/>
 *   ->append('<h1></h1>') // Add <h1/>
 *   ->children()  // Select the <h1/>
 *   ->dbInit($this->dsn) // Connect to the database
 *   ->query($sql, $args) // Execute the SQL query
 *   ->nextRow()  // Select a row. By default, no row is selected.
 *   ->appendColumn('colOne') // Append Row 1, Col 1 (Title 0)
 *   ->parent() // Go back to the <body/>
 *   ->append('<p/>') // Append a <p/> to the body
 *   ->find('p')  // Find the <p/> we just created.
 *   ->nextRow() // Advance to row 2
 *   ->prependColumn('colTwo') // Get row 2, col 2. (Body 1)
 *   ->columnAfter('colThree') // Get row 2 col 3. (Footer 1)
 *   ->doneWithQuery() // Let QueryPath clean up. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS DO THIS.
 *   ->writeHTML(); // Write the output as HTML.
 * ?> 
 * @endcode
 *
 * With the code above, we step through the document, selectively building elements
 * as we go, and then populating this elements with data from our initial query.
 *
 * When the last command, {@link QueryPath:::writeHTML()}, is run, we will get output
 * like this:
 * 
 * @code
 *   <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
 *   <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 *     <head>
 *     	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
 *     	<title>Untitled</title>
 *     </head>
 *     <body>
 *       <h1>Title 0</h1>
 *       <p>Body 1</p>
 *       Footer 1</body>
 *    </html>
 * @endcode
 *
 * Notice the body section in particular. This is where the data has been
 * inserted.
 *
 * Sometimes you want to do something a lot simpler, like give QueryPath a 
 * template and have it navigate a query, inserting the data into a template, and
 * then inserting the template into the document. This can be done simply with 
 * the {@link queryInto()} function.
 *
 * Here's an example from another unit test:
 *
 * @code
 * <?php
 * $template = '<?xml version="1.0"?><li class="colOne"/>';
 * $sql = 'SELECT * FROM qpdb_test';
 * $args = array();
 * $qp = qp(QueryPath::HTML_STUB, 'body')
 *   ->append('<ul/>') // Add a new <ul/>
 *   ->children() // Select the <ul/>
 *   ->dbInit($this->dsn) // Initialize the DB
 *   // BIG LINE: Query the results, run them through the template, and insert them.
 *   ->queryInto($sql, $args, $template) 
 *   ->doneWithQuery()
 *   ->writeHTML(); // Write the results as HTML.
 * ?>
 * @endcode 
 *
 * The simple code above puts the first column of the select statement
 * into an unordered list. The example output looks like this:
 *
 * @code
 * <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
 * <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 *   <head>
 *   	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></meta>
 *   	<title>Untitled</title>
 *    </head>
 *    <body>
 *    <ul>
 *    <li class="colOne">Title 0</li>
 *    <li class="colOne">Title 1</li>
 *    <li class="colOne">Title 2</li>
 *    <li class="colOne">Title 3</li>
 *    <li class="colOne">Title 4</li>
 *    </ul>
 *   </body>
 * </html>
 * @endcode
 *
 * Typical starting methods for this class are {@link QPDB::baseDB()}, 
 * {@link QPDB::query()}, and {@link QPDB::queryInto()}.

   * the results internally for later use. The data can be iterated using 
   * {@link nextRow()}. QueryPath can also be instructed to do internal iteration
   * using the {@link withEachRow()} method. Finally, on the occasion that the 
   * statement itself is needed, {@link getStatement()} can be used.
   *
   * Use this when you need to access the results of a query, or when the 
   * parameter to a query should be escaped. If the query takes no external 
   * parameters and does not return results, you may wish to use the 
   * (ever so slightly faster) {@link exec()} function instead.
   * 
   * Make sure you use {@link doneWithQuery()} after finishing with the database
   * results returned by this method.
   *
   * <b>Usage</b>
   * 
   * Here is a simple example:
   * <code>
   * <?php
   * QPQDB::baseDB($someDSN);
   * 
   * $args = array(':something' => 'myColumn');
   * qp()->query('SELECT :something FROM foo', $args)->doneWithQuery();
   * ?>
   * </code>
   *
   * The above would execute the given query, substituting myColumn in place of 
   * :something before executing the query The {@link doneWithQuery()} method
   * indicates that we are not going to use the results for anything. This method
   * discards the results.
   *
   * A more typical use of the query() function would involve inserting data
   * using {@link appendColumn()}, {@link prependColumn()}, {@link columnBefore()},
   * or {@link columnAfter()}. See the main documentation for {@link QPDB} to view
   * a more realistic example.
   * 
   * @param string $sql
   *  The query to be executed.
   * @param array $args
   *  An associative array of substitutions to make.
   * @throws PDOException
   *  Throws an exception if the query cannot be executed.
