/**
 * Database abstraction library
 *
 * This allows eGroupWare to use multiple database backends via ADOdb or in future with PDO
 * 
 * You only need to clone the global database object $GLOBALS['egw']->db if:
 * - you use the old methods f(), next_record(), row(), num_fields(), num_rows()
 * - you access an application table (non phpgwapi) and you want to call set_app()
 * 
 * Otherwise you can simply use $GLOBALS['egw']->db or a reference to it.
 * 
 * Avoiding next_record() or row() can be done by looping with the recordset returned by query() or select():
 * 
 * a) foreach($db->query("SELECT * FROM $table",__LINE__,__FILE__) as $row)
 * 
 * b) foreach($db->select($api_table,'*',$where,__LINE__,__FILE__) as $row)
 *
 * c) foreach($db->select($table,'*',$where,__LINE__,__FILE__,false,'',$app) as $row)
 *
 * To fetch only single column (of the next row):
 *		$cnt = $db->query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ...")->fetchSingle();
 *
 * To fetch a next (single) row, you can use:
 *		$row = $db->query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ...")->fetch($fetchmod=null);
