/**
 * @defgroup database Database abstraction layer
 * @{
 * Allow the use of different database servers using the same code base.
 *
 * Drupal provides a 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,
 * but also allow developers a way to leverage more complex functionality in
 * a unified way. It also provides a structured interface for dynamically
 * constructing queries when appropriate, and enforcing security checks and
 * similar good practices.
 *
 * The system is built atop PHP's PDO (PHP Data Objects) database API and
 * inherits much of its syntax and semantics.
 *
 * Most Drupal database SELECT queries are performed by a call to db_query() or
 * db_query_range(). Module authors should also consider using the
 * Drupal\Core\Database\Query\PagerSelectExtender for queries that return
 * results that need to be presented on multiple pages, and the Tablesort
 * Extender 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 = :uid', 0, 10, array(':uid' => $uid));
 * foreach ($result as $record) {
 *   // Perform operations on $record->title, etc. here.
 * }
 * @endcode
 * Curly braces are used around "node" to provide table prefixing via
 * DatabaseConnection::prefixTables(). 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 PDO-based ability to iterate over the result set using
 * foreach ().
 *
 * All queries are passed as a prepared statement string. A
 * prepared statement is a "template" of a query that omits literal or variable
 * values in favor of placeholders. The values to place into those
 * placeholders are passed separately, and the database driver handles
 * inserting the values into the query in a secure fashion. That means you
 * should never quote or string-escape a value to be inserted into the query.
 *
 * There are two formats for placeholders: named and unnamed. Named placeholders
 * are strongly preferred in all cases as they are more flexible and
 * self-documenting. Named placeholders should start with a colon ":" and can be
 * followed by one or more letters, numbers or underscores.
 *
 * Named placeholders begin with a colon followed by a unique string. Example:
 * @code
 * SELECT nid, title FROM {node} WHERE uid=:uid;
 * @endcode
 *
 * ":uid" is a placeholder that will be replaced with a literal value when
 * the query is executed. A given placeholder label cannot be repeated in a
 * given query, even if the value should be the same. When using named
 * placeholders, the array of arguments to the query must be an associative
 * array where keys are a placeholder label (e.g., :uid) and the value is the
 * corresponding value to use. The array may be in any order.
 *
 * Unnamed placeholders are simply a question mark. Example:
 * @code
 * SELECT nid, title FROM {node} WHERE uid=?;
 * @endcode
 *
 * In this case, the array of arguments must be an indexed array of values to
 * use in the exact same order as the placeholders in the query.
 *
 * Note that placeholders should be a "complete" value. For example, when
 * running a LIKE query the SQL wildcard character, %, should be part of the
 * value, not the query itself. Thus, the following is incorrect:
 * @code
 * SELECT nid, title FROM {node} WHERE title LIKE :title%;
 * @endcode
 * It should instead read:
 * @code
 * SELECT nid, title FROM {node} WHERE title LIKE :title;
 * @endcode
 * and the value for :title should include a % as appropriate. Again, note the
 * lack of quotation marks around :title. Because the value is not inserted
 * into the query as one big string but as an explicitly separate value, the
 * database server knows where the query ends and a value begins. That is
 * considerably more secure against SQL injection than trying to remember
 * which values need quotation marks and string escaping and which don't.
 *
 * INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE queries need special care in order to behave
 * consistently across all different databases. Therefore, they use a special
 * object-oriented API for defining a query structurally. For example, rather
 * than:
 * @code
 * INSERT INTO node (nid, title, body) VALUES (1, 'my title', 'my body');
 * @endcode
 * one would instead write:
 * @code
 * $fields = array('nid' => 1, 'title' => 'my title', 'body' => 'my body');
 * db_insert('node')->fields($fields)->execute();
 * @endcode
 * This method allows databases that need special data type handling to do so,
 * while also allowing optimizations such as multi-insert queries. UPDATE and
 * DELETE queries have a similar pattern.
 *
 * Drupal also supports transactions, including a transparent fallback for
 * databases that do not support transactions. To start a new transaction,
 * simply call $txn = db_transaction(); in your own code. The transaction will
 * remain open for as long as the variable $txn remains in scope.  When $txn is
 * destroyed, the transaction will be committed.  If your transaction is nested
 * inside of another then Drupal will track each transaction and only commit
 * the outer-most transaction when the last transaction object goes out out of
 * scope, that is, all relevant queries completed successfully.
 *
 * Example:
 * @code
 * function my_transaction_function() {
 *   // The transaction opens here.
 *   $txn = db_transaction();
 *
 *   try {
 *     $id = db_insert('example')
 *       ->fields(array(
 *         'field1' => 'mystring',
 *         'field2' => 5,
 *       ))
 *       ->execute();
 *
 *     my_other_function($id);
 *
 *     return $id;
 *   }
 *   catch (Exception $e) {
 *     // Something went wrong somewhere, so roll back now.
 *     $txn->rollback();
 *     // Log the exception to watchdog.
 *     watchdog_exception('type', $e);
 *   }
 *
 *   // $txn goes out of scope here.  Unless the transaction was rolled back, it
 *   // gets automatically committed here.
 * }
 *
 * function my_other_function($id) {
 *   // The transaction is still open here.
 *
 *   if ($id % 2 == 0) {
 *     db_update('example')
 *       ->condition('id', $id)
 *       ->fields(array('field2' => 10))
 *       ->execute();
 *   }
 * }
 * @endcode

 *
 * The reasons for this are due to the different database engines:
 *
 * On PostgreSQL, changing a field definition involves adding a new field and
 * dropping an old one which causes any indices, primary keys and sequences
 * (from serial-type fields) that use the changed field to be dropped.
 *
 * On MySQL, all type 'serial' fields must be part of at least one key or index
 * as soon as they are created. You cannot use
 * db_add_{primary_key,unique_key,index}() for this purpose because the ALTER
 * TABLE command will fail to add the column without a key or index
 * specification. The solution is to use the optional $keys_new argument to
 * create the key or index at the same time as field.
 *
 * You could use db_add_{primary_key,unique_key,index}() in all cases unless you
 * are converting a field to be type serial. You can use the $keys_new argument
 * in all cases.
 *
 * @param $table
 *   Name of the table.
 * @param $field
 *   Name of the field to change.
 * @param $field_new
 *   New name for the field (set to the same as $field if you don't want to
 *   change the name).
 * @param $spec
 *   The field specification for the new field.
 * @param $keys_new
 *   Optional keys and indexes specification to be created on the table along
 *   with changing the field. The format is the same as a table specification
 *   but without the 'fields' element.
