// .NAME vtkSQLQuery - executes an sql query and retrieves results
//
// .SECTION Description
// The abstract superclass of SQL query classes.  Instances of subclasses
// of vtkSQLQuery are created using the GetQueryInstance() function in
// vtkSQLDatabase.  To implement a query connection for a new database
// type, subclass both vtkSQLDatabase and vtkSQLQuery, and implement the
// required functions.  For the query class, this involves the following:
//
// Execute() - Execute the query on the database.  No results need to be
//             retrieved at this point, unless you are performing caching.
//
// GetNumberOfFields() - After Execute() is performed, returns the number
//                       of fields in the query results.
//
// GetFieldName() - The name of the field at an index.
//
// GetFieldType() - The data type of the field at an index.
//
// NextRow() - Advances the query results by one row, and returns whether
//             there are more rows left in the query.
//
// DataValue() - Extract a single data value from the current row.
//
// Begin/Rollback/CommitTransaction() - These methods are optional but
// recommended if the database supports transactions.
//
// .SECTION Thanks
// Thanks to Andrew Wilson from Sandia National Laboratories for his work
// on the database classes.

  // Description:
  // Bind a parameter to a placeholder in a query.  A full discussion
  // of this feature is beyond the scope of this header file, but in
  // short, here's how it works:
  //
  // Instead of saying "SELECT foo FROM mytable WHERE myfield = 12345"
  // you can say "SELECT foo FROM mytable WHERE myfield = ?".  The ?
  // character is a placeholder for a parameter that must then be
  // bound.  Call BindParameter(0, 12345) to bind the integer value
  // 12345 to that field.  Placeholders are indexed starting at 0.
  //
  // You are responsible for making sure that the types match when you
  // call BindParameter.  You don't have to get it precisely correct:
  // in general, the SQL driver is smart enough to do things like cast
  // a short to a long or a float to a double.
  //
  // Bound parameters were introduced in ANSI SQL 92.  Please see that
  // standard for more information.
  //
  // Most of these methods are excluded from wrapping because the Java
  // wrapper treats all integer types from char up through 64-bit long
  // as 'int'.  This is incorrect behavior but what else am I going to
  // do?
  //
  // Finally, the default implementation for BindParameter(int,
  // vtkVariant) dispatches to one of the more type-specific versions.  It
  // should be OK to use in database drivers without modification.
