class SQLRConnection

    A wrapper for the sqlrelay connection API.  Closely follows the C++ API.

    new(host, port, socket, user, password, retrytime, tries)
        Opens a connection to the sqlrelay server and authenticates with
        user and password.  Failed connections are retried for tries times
        at retrytime interval.  
        
    endSession()
        Ends the current session.

    suspendSession()
        Disconnects this connection from the current
        session but leaves the session open so 
        that another connection can connect to it 
        using resumeSession().

    getConnectionPort()
        Returns the inet port that the connection is 
        communicating over. This parameter may be 
        passed to another connection for use in
        the resumeSession() method.

    getConnectionSocket()
        Returns the unix socket that the connection is 
        communicating over. This parameter may be 
        passed to another connection for use in
        the resumeSession() method.

    resumeSession(port, socket)
        Resumes a session previously left open 
        using suspendSession().
        Returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.

    ping()
        Returns 1 if the database is up and 0
        if it's down.

    identify()
        Returns the type of database 
          oracle7, oracle8, postgresql, mysql, etc.

    autoCommitOn()
        Instructs the database to perform a commit
        after every successful query.  Returns a 1
        on success, 0 on failure and -1 if an error
        occurred. 

    autoCommitOff()
        Instructs the database to wait for the client
        to tell it when to commit.  Returns a 1 on
        success, 0 on failure and -1 if an error
        occurred. 

    commit()
        Issues a commit.  Returns a 1 if the commit 
        succeeded, 0 if it failed and -1 if an 
        error occurred. 

    rollback()
        Issues a rollback.  Returns a 1 if the rollback 
        succeeded, 0 if it failed and -1 if an 
        error occurred. 

    debugOn()
        Turn verbose debugging on.

    debugOff()
        Turn verbose debugging off.

    getDebug()
        Returns 1 if debugging is turned on and 0 if debugging is turned off.





class SQLRCursor


    A wrapper for the sqlrelay cursor API.  Closely follows the C++ API.

    new(sqlrcon)

    setResultSetBufferSize(rows)
        Sets the number of rows of the result set
        to buffer at a time.  0 (the default)
        means buffer the entire result set.

    getResultSetBufferSize()
        Returns the number of result set rows that 
        will be buffered at a time or 0 for the
        entire result set.

    dontGetColumnInfo()
        Tells the server not to send any column
        info (names, types, sizes).  If you don't
        need that info, you should call this
        method to improve performance.

    getColumnInfo()
        Tells the server to send column info.

    cacheToFile(filename)
        Sets query caching on.  Future queries
        The full pathname of the file can be
        retrieved using getCacheFileName().
        
        A default time-to-live of 10 minutes is
        also set.
        
        Note that once cacheToFile() is called,
        the result sets of all future queries will
        be cached to that file until another call 
        to cacheToFile() changes which file to
        cache to or a call to cacheOff() turns off
        caching.

    setCacheTtl(ttl)
        Sets the time-to-live for cached result
        sets. The sqlr-cachemanger will remove each 
        cached result set "ttl" seconds after it's 
        created.

    getCacheFileName()
        Returns the name of the file containing the most
        recently cached result set.

    cacheOff()
        Sets query caching off.


    If you don't need to use substitution or bind variables
    in your queries, use these two methods.
    sendQuery(query)
        Send a SQL query to the server and
        gets a result set.

    sendFileQuery(path, file)
        Send the SQL query in path/file to the server and
        gets a result set.

    If you need to use substitution or bind variables, in your
    queries use the following methods.  See the API documentation
    for more information about substitution and bind variables.
    prepareQuery(query)
        Prepare to execute query.

    prepareFileQuery(path, file)
        Prepare to execute the contents of path/filename.

    substitute(variable, value, [precision, scale])
        Define a substitution variable.
        Precision and scale are only
        necessary for floating point
        values.

    inputBind(variable, value, [precision, scale])
        Define an input bind varaible.
        Precision and scale are only
        necessary for floating point
        values.

    defineOutputBind(variable, length)
        Define an output bind varaible.


    These functions take arrays for parameters
    substitutions(variables, values, [precisions, scales])
        Define substitution variables.
        Precisions and scales are only
        necessary for floating point
        values.

    inputBinds(variables, values, [precisions, scales])
        Define input bind variables.
        Precisions and scales are only
        necessary for floating point
        values.
        

    validateBinds()
        If you are binding to any variables that 
        might not actually be in your query, call 
        this to ensure that the database won't try 
        to bind them unless they really are in the 
        query.

    executeQuery()
        Execute the query that was previously
        prepared and bound.

    getOutputBind(variable)
        Retrieve the value of an output bind variable.

    openCachedResultSet(filename)
        Open a result set after a sendCachedQeury

    colCount()
        Returns the number of columns in the current result set.

    rowCount()
        Returns the number of rows in the current result set.

    totalRows()
        Returns the total number of rows that will 
        be returned in the result set.  Not all 
        databases support this call.  Don't use it 
        for applications which are designed to be 
        portable across databases.  -1 is returned
        by databases which don't support this option.

    affectedRows()
        Returns the number of rows that were 
        updated, inserted or deleted by the query.
        Not all databases support this call.  Don't 
        use it for applications which are designed 
        to be portable across databases.  -1 is 
        returned by databases which don't support 
        this option.

    firstRowIndex()
        Returns the index of the first buffered row.
        This is useful when buffering only part of
        the result set at a time.

    endOfResultSet()
        Returns 0 if part of the result set is still
        pending on the server and 1 if not.  This
        method can only return 0 if 
        setResultSetBufferSize() has been called
        with a parameter other than 0.

    errorMessage()
        If the query failed, the error message will be returned
        from this method.  Otherwise, it returns None.

    getNullsAsEmptyStrings()
        Tells the cursor to return NULL fields and output
        bind variables as empty strings.
        This is the default.

    getNullsAsNone()
        Tells the cursor to return NULL fields and output
        bind variables as NULL's.

    getField(row, col)
        Returns the value of the specified row and
        column.  col may be a column name or number.

    getFieldLength(row, col)
        Returns the length of the specified row and
        column.  col may be a column name or number.

    getRow(row)
        Returns a list of values in the given row.

    getRowHash(row)
        Returns the requested row as values in a dictionary
        with column names for keys.

    getRowRange(beg, end)
        Returns a list of lists of the rows between beg and end.
        Note this function has no equivalent in other SQL Relay API's.

    getRowLengths(row)
        Returns a list of lengths in the given row.

    getRowLengthsHash(row)
        Returns the requested row lengths as values in a dictionary
        with column names for keys.

    getRowLengthsRange(beg, end)
        Returns a list of lists of the lengths of rows between beg and end.
        Note this function has no equivalent in other SQL Relay API's.

    getResultSetId()
        Returns the internal ID of this result set.
        This parameter may be passed to another 
        cursor for use in the resumeResultSet() 
        method.

    suspendResultSet()
        Tells the server to leave this result
        set open when the cursor calls 
        suspendSession() so that another cursor can 
        connect to it using resumeResultSet() after 
        it calls resumeSession().

    resumeResultSet(id)
        Resumes a result set previously left open 
        using suspendSession().
        Returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.

    resumeCachedResultSet(id, filename)
        Resumes a result set previously left open
        using suspendSession() and continues caching
        Returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
