 * The Tripal Core API
 *
 * This file provides the API needed for all other Tripal and Tripal dependent
 * modules.
 *
 * @defgroup tripal_api Tripal API
 * @{
 * Provides an application programming interface (API) for Tripal
 *
 * The Tripal API currently provides generic insert/update/select functions for all chado content as
 * well as some module specific functions that insert/update/delete/select specific chado content.
 *
 * This API is currently in its infancy and some necessary functions might be missing. If you find
 * a missing function that you think should be included go to the sourceforge feature request
 * page and request it's inclusion in the API. Such feature requests with a working function
 * definition will be given priority.
 * @}
 *
 * @defgroup tripal_chado_api Core Module Chado API
 * @{
 * Provides an application programming interface (API) to manage data withing the Chado database.
 * This includes functions for selecting, inserting, updating and deleting records
 * in Chado tables.  The functions will ensure proper integrity contraints are met
 * for inserts and updates.
 *
 * Also, a set of functions is provided for creating template variables.  First,
 * is the tripal_core_generate_chado_vars which is used to select one ore more
 * records from a table and return an array with foreign key relationships fully
 * populated.  For example, if selecting a feature, the organism_id and type_id
 * would be present in the returned array as a nested array with their respective
 * foreign keys also nested.  The only fields that are not included are text
 * fields (which may be very large) or many-to-many foreign key relationships.
 * However, these fields and relationships can be expanded using the
 * tripal_core_expand_chado_vars.
 *
 * When a row from a chado table is selected using these two functions, it provides
 * a way for users who want to cutomize Drupal template files to access all data
 * associate with a specific record.
 *
 * Finally, the property tables in Chado generally follow the same format.  Therefore
 * there is a set of functions for inserting, updating and deleting properties for
 * any table.  This provides quick lookup of properties (provided the CV term is
 * known).

 /**
 * Provides a generic routine for inserting into any Chado table
 *
 * Use this function to insert a record into any Chado table.  The first
 * argument specifies the table for inserting and the second is an array
 * of values to be inserted.  The array is mutli-dimensional such that
 * foreign key lookup values can be specified.
 *
 * @param $table
 *  The name of the chado table for inserting
 * @param $values
 *  An associative array containing the values for inserting.
 * @param $options
 *  An array of options such as:
 *  - statement_name: the name of the prepared statement to use. If the statement
 *     has not yet been prepared it will be prepared automatically. On subsequent
 *     calls with the same statement_name only an execute on the previously
 *     prepared statement will occur.
 *  - is_prepared: TRUE or FALSE. Whether or not the statement is prepared. By
 *     default if the statement is not prepared it will be automatically.
 *     However to avoid this check, which requires a database query you can
 *     set this value to true and the check will not be performed.
 *  - skip_validation: TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE will skip all the validation steps and
 *     just try to insert as is. This is much faster but results in unhandled
 *     non user-friendly errors if the insert fails.
 *  - return_record: by default, the function will return the record but with
 *     the primary keys added after insertion.  To simply return TRUE on success
 *     set this option to FALSE
 *
 * @return
 *  On success this function returns the inserted record with the new primary keys
 *  add to the returned array. On failure, it returns FALSE.
 *
 * Example usage:
 * @code
 *   $values =  array(
 *     'organism_id' => array(
 *         'genus' => 'Citrus',
 *         'species' => 'sinensis',
 *      ),
 *     'name' => 'orange1.1g000034m.g',
 *     'uniquename' => 'orange1.1g000034m.g',
 *     'type_id' => array (
 *         'cv_id' => array (
 *            'name' => 'sequence',
 *         ),
 *         'name' => 'gene',
 *         'is_obsolete' => 0
 *      ),
 *   );
 *   $result = tripal_core_chado_insert('feature',$values);
 * @endcode
 * The above code inserts a record into the feature table.  The $values array is
 * nested such that the organism is selected by way of the organism_id foreign
 * key constraint by specifying the genus and species.  The cvterm is also
 * specified using its foreign key and the cv_id for the cvterm is nested as
 * well.

/**
 * Provides a generic routine for selecting data from a Chado table
 *
 * Use this function to perform a simple select from any Chado table.
 *
 * @param $table
 *  The name of the chado table for inserting
 * @param $columns
 *  An array of column names
 * @param $values
 *  An associative array containing the values for filtering the results. In the
 *  case where multiple values for the same time are to be selected an additional
 *  entry for the field should appear for each value
 * @param $options
 *  An associative array of additional options where the key is the option
 *  and the value is the value of that option.
 *
 * Additional Options Include:
 *  - has_record
 *     Set this argument to 'TRUE' to have this function return a numeric
 *     value for the number of recrods rather than the array of records.  this
 *     can be useful in 'if' statements to check the presence of particula records.
 *  - return_sql
 *     Set this to 'TRUE' to have this function return an array where the first
 *     element is the sql that would have been run and the second is an array of
 *     arguments.
 *  - case_insensitive_columns
 *     An array of columns to do a case insensitive search on.
 *  - regex_columns
 *     An array of columns where the value passed in should be treated as a regular expression
 *  - order_by
 *     An associative array containing the column names of the table as keys
 *     and the type of sort (i.e. ASC, DESC) as the values.  The results in the
 *     query will be sorted by the key values in the direction listed by the value
 *  - statement_name: the name of the prepared statement to use. If the statement
 *     has not yet been prepared it will be prepared automatically. On subsequent
 *     calls with the same statement_name only an execute on the previously
 *     prepared statement will occur.
 *  - is_prepared: TRUE or FALSE. Whether or not the statement is prepared. By
 *     default if the statement is not prepared it will be automatically.
 *     However to avoid this check, which requires a database query you can
 *     set this value to true and the check will not be performed.
 *  - is_duplicate: TRUE or FALSE.  Checks the values submited to see if
 *     they violate any of the unique constraints. If so, the record
 *     is returned, if not, FALSE is returned.
 *
 *
 * @return
 *  A database query result resource, FALSE if the query was not executed
 *  correctly, or the number of records in the dataset if $has_record is set.
 *  If the option 'is_duplicate' is provided and the record is a duplicate it
 *  will return the duplicated record.  If the 'has_record' option is provided
 *  a value of TRUE will be returned if a record exists and FALSE will bee
 *  returned if there are not records.
 *
 * Example usage:
 * @code

 * Gets the value of a foreign key relationship
 *
 * This function is used by tripal_core_chado_select, tripal_core_chado_insert,
 * and tripal_core_chado_update to iterate through the associate array of
 * values that gets passed to each of those routines.  The values array
 * is nested where foreign key contraints are used to specify a value that.  See
 * documentation for any of those functions for further information.
 *
 * @param $table_desc
 *  A table description for the table with the foreign key relationship to be identified generated by
 *  hook_chado_<table name>_schema()
 * @param $field
 *  The field in the table that is the foreign key.
 * @param $values
 *  An associative array containing the values
 * @param $options
 *  An associative array of additional options where the key is the option
 *  and the value is the value of that option. These options are passed on to tripal_core_chado_select.
 *
 * Additional Options Include:
 *  - case_insensitive_columns
 *     An array of columns to do a case insensitive search on.
 *  - regex_columns
 *     An array of columns where the value passed in should be treated as a regular expression
 *
 * @return
 *  A string containg the results of the foreign key lookup, or FALSE if failed.
 *
 * Example usage:
 * @code
 *
 *   $values = array(
 *     'genus' => 'Citrus',
 *     'species' => 'sinensis',
 *   );
 *   $value = tripal_core_chado_get_foreign_key('feature', 'organism_id',$values);
 *
 * @endcode
 * The above code selects a record from the feature table using the three fields
 * that uniquely identify a feature.  The $columns array simply lists the columns
 * to select. The $values array is nested such that the organism is identified by
 * way of the organism_id foreign key constraint by specifying the genus and
 * species.  The cvterm is also specified using its foreign key and the cv_id
 * for the cvterm is nested as well.

/**
 * Generates an object containing the full details of a record(s) in chado.
 *
 * This differs from the objects returned by tripal_core_chado_select in so far as all foreign key
 * relationships have been followed meaning you have more complete details. Thus this function
 * should be used whenever you need a full variable and tripal_core_chado_select should be used if
 * you only case about a few columns.
 *
 * @param $table
 *   The name of the base table to generate a variable for
 * @param $values
 *   A select values array that selects the records you want from the base table
 *   (this has the same form as tripal_core_chado_select)
 * @param $base_options
 *   An array containing options for the base table.  For example, an
 *   option of 'order_by' may be used to sort results in the base table
 *   if more than one are returned.  The options must be compatible with
 *   the options accepted by the tripal_core_chado_select() function.
 *   Additionally,  These options are available for this function:
 *   -return_array:
 *     can be provided to force the function to always return an array. Default
 *     behavior is to return a single record if only one record exists or to return
 *     an array if multiple records exist.
 *  - include_fk:
 *     an array of FK relationships to fallow. By default, the
 *     tripal_core_chado_select function will follow all FK relationships but this
 *     may generate more queries then is desired.  Provide an array specifying the
 *     fields to include.  For example, if including the cvterm, cv and dbxref records
 *     for a property the following array would work:
 *        array('type_id' => array('cv_id' => 1, 'dbxref_id' => 1)).
 *     Typicall, to expadn a property, this function would also include the db record
 *     through the db_id foreign key with the dbxref and db tables, but becuase
 *     it is not included in the array it will not be included in the results.
 * @return
 *   Either an object (if only one record was selected from the base table)
 *   or an array of objects (if more than one record was selected from the base table).
 *   If the option 'return_array' is provided the function always returns an array.
 *
 * Example Usage:
 * @code
 $values = array(
   'name' => 'Medtr4g030710'
 );
 $features = tripal_core_generate_chado_var('feature', $values);
 * @endcode
 * This will return an object if there is only one feature with the name Medtr4g030710 or it will
 * return an array of feature objects if more than one feature has that name.
 *
 * Note to Module Designers: Fields can be excluded by default from these objects by implementing
 * one of the following hooks:
 *  - hook_exclude_field_from_tablename_by_default (where tablename is the name of the table):
 *      This hook allows you to add fields to be excluded on a per table basis. Simply implement
 *      this hook to return an array of fields to be excluded. For example:
 * @code
 mymodule_exclude_field_from_feature_by_default() {
   return array('residues' => TRUE);
 }
 * @endcode
 *      will ensure that feature.residues is ecluded from a feature object by default.
 *  - hook_exclude_type_by_default:
 *      This hook allows you to exclude fields from all tables that are of a given postgresql field
 *      type. Simply implement this hook to return an array of postgresql types mapped to criteria.
 *      Then all fields of that type where the criteria supplied returns TRUE will be excluded from
 *      any table. Tokens available in criteria are &gt;field_value&lt;  and &gt;field_name&lt; . For example:
 * @code
 mymodule_exclude_type_by_default() {
   return array('text' => 'length(&gt;field_value&lt; ) > 50');
 }
 * @endcode

/**
 * Retrieves fields/tables/nodes that were excluded by default from a variable and adds them
 *
 * This function exists to allow tripal_core_generate_chado_var() to excldue some
 * fields/tables/nodes from the default form of a variable without making it extremely difficult for
 * the tripal admin to get at these variables if he/she wants them.
 *
 * @param $object
 *   This must be an object generated using tripal_core_generate_chado_var()
 * @param $type
 *   Must be one of 'field', 'table', 'node'. Indicates what is being expanded.
 * @param $to_expand
 *   The name of the field/table/node to be expanded
 * @param $table_options
 *   An array containing options for the base table.  For example, an
 *   option of 'order_by' may be used to sort results in the base table
 *   if more than one are returned.  The options must be compatible with
 *   the options accepted by the tripal_core_chado_select() function.
 *   Additionally,  The option 'return_array' can be provided to force
 *   the function to expand tables as an array. Default behavior is to expand
 *   a table as single record if only one record exists or to expand as an array if
 *   multiple records exist.
 * @return
 *   A chado object supplemented with the field/table/node requested to be expanded.
 *   If the type is a table and it has already been expanded no changes is made to the
 *   returned object
 *
 * Example Usage:
 * @code
   // Get a chado object to be expanded
   $values = array(
     'name' => 'Medtr4g030710'
   );
