/**
 * @defgroup tripal_chado_query_api Chado Query API
 * @ingroup tripal_chado_api
 * @{
 * Provides an API for querying of chado including inserting, updating, deleting and
 * selecting from specific chado tables. There is also a generic function, chado_query(),
 * to execute and SQL statement on chado. It is ideal to use these functions to interact
 * with chado in order to keep your module compatible with both local & external chado
 * databases. Furthermore, it ensures connection to the chado database is taken care
 * of for you.
 *
 * Generic Queries to a specifc chado table:
 *
 * chado_select_record( [table name], [columns to select], [specify record to select], [options*] )
 * This function allows you to select various columns from the specified chado table. Although
 * you can only select from a single table, you can specify the record to select using values
 * from related tables through use of a nested array. For example, the following code shows
 * you how to select the name and uniquename of a feature based on it's type and source
 * organism.
 * @code
 *   $values =  array(
 *     'organism_id' => array(
 *         'genus' => 'Citrus',
 *         'species' => 'sinensis',
 *      ),
 *     'type_id' => array (
 *         'cv_id' => array (
 *            'name' => 'sequence',
 *         ),
 *         'name' => 'gene',
 *         'is_obsolete' => 0
 *      ),
 *   );
 *   $result = chado_select_record(
 *      'feature',                      // table to select from
 *      array('name', 'uniquename'),    // columns to select
 *      $values                         // record to select (see variable defn. above)
 *   );
 * @endcode
 *
 * chado_insert_record( [table name], [values to insert], [options*] )
 * This function allows you to insert a single record into a specific table. The values to
 * insert are specified using an associative array where the keys are the column names to
 * insert into and they point to the value to be inserted into that column. If the column
 * is a foreign key, the key will point to an array specifying the record in the foreign
 * table and then the primary key of that record will be inserted in the column. For example,
 * the following code will insert a feature and for the type_id, the cvterm.cvterm_id of
 * the cvterm record will be inserted and for the organism_id, the organism.organism_id
 * of the organism_record will be inserted.
 * @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 = chado_insert_record(
 *     'feature',             // table to insert into
 *     $values                // values to insert
 *   );
 * @endcode
 *
 * chado_update_record( [table name], [specify record to update], [values to change], [options*] )
 * This function allows you to update records in a specific chado table. The record(s)
 * you wish to update are specified the same as in the select function above and
 * the values to be update are specified the same as the values to be inserted were. For
 * example, the following code species that a feature with a given uniquename, organism_id,
 * and type_id (the unique constraint for the feature table) will be updated with a new name,
 * and the type changed from a gene to an mRNA.
 * @code
 * $umatch = array(
 *   'organism_id' => array(
 *     'genus' => 'Citrus',
 *     'species' => 'sinensis',
 *   ),
 *   'uniquename' => 'orange1.1g000034m.g7',
 *   'type_id' => array (
 *     'cv_id' => array (
 *       'name' => 'sequence',
 *     ),
 *     'name' => 'gene',
 *     'is_obsolete' => 0
 *   ),
 * );
 * $uvalues = array(
 *   'name' => 'orange1.1g000034m.g',
 *   'type_id' => array (
 *     'cv_id' => array (
 *       'name' => 'sequence',
 *     ),
 *     'name' => 'mRNA',
 *     'is_obsolete' => 0
 *   ),
 * );
 *   $result = chado_update_record('feature',$umatch,$uvalues);
 * @endcode
 *
 * chado_delete_record( [table name], [specify records to delete], [options*] )
 * This function allows you to delete records from a specific chado table. The record(s)
 * to delete are specified the same as the record to select/update was above. For example,
 * the following code will delete all genes from the organism Citrus sinensis.
 * @code
 *   $values =  array(
 *     'organism_id' => array(
 *         'genus' => 'Citrus',
 *         'species' => 'sinensis',
 *      ),
 *     'type_id' => array (
 *         'cv_id' => array (
 *            'name' => 'sequence',
 *         ),
 *         'name' => 'gene',
 *         'is_obsolete' => 0
 *      ),
 *   );
 *   $result = chado_select_record(
 *      'feature',                      // table to select from
 *      $values                         // records to delete (see variable defn. above)
 *   );
 * @endcode
 *
 * Generic Queries for any SQL:
 *
 * Often it is necessary to select from more then one table in chado or to execute
 * other complex queries that cannot be handled efficiently by the above functions. It is
 * for this reason that the chado_query( [sql string], [arguments to sub-in to the sql] )
 * function was created. This function allows you to execute any SQL directly on the
 * chado database and should be used with care. If any user input will be used in the query
 * make sure to put a placeholder in your SQL string and then define the value in the
 * arguments array. This will make sure that the user input is santized and safe through
 * type-checking and escaping. The following code shows an example of how to use user input
 * resulting from a form and would be called withing the form submit function.
 * @code
 * $sql = "SELECT F.name, CVT.name as type_name, ORG.common_name
 *          FROM feature F
 *          LEFT JOIN cvterm CVT ON F.type_id = CVT.cvterm_id
 *          LEFT JOIN organism ORG ON F.organism_id = ORG.organism_id
 *          WHERE
 *            F.uniquename = :feature_uniquename";
 * $args = array( ':feature_uniquename' => $form_state['values']['uniquename'] );
 * $result = chado_query( $sql, $args );
 * foreach ($result as $r) { [Do something with the records here] }
 * @endcode
 *
 * If you are going to need more then a couple fields, you might want to use the
 * Chado Variables API (specifically chado_generate_var()) to select all
 * of the common fields needed including following foreign keys.
 *
 * Loading of Variables from chado data:
 *
 * These functions, chado_generate_var() and  chado_expand_var(), generate objects
 * containing the full details of a record(s) in chado. These should be used in all
 * theme templates.
 *
 * This differs from the objects returned by chado_select_record 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 chado_select_record should be used if
 * you only case about a few columns.
 *
 * The initial variable is generated by the
 * chado_generate_var([table], [filter criteria], [optional options])
 * function. An example of how to use this function is:
 * @code
   $values = array(
     'name' => 'Medtr4g030710'
   );
   $features = chado_generate_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.
 *
 * Some tables and fields are excluded by default. To have those tables & fields added to
 * your variable you can use the
 * chado_expand_var([chado variable], [type], [what to expand], [optional options])
 * function. An example of how to use this function is:
 * @code
   // Get a chado object to be expanded
   $values = array(
     'name' => 'Medtr4g030710'
   );
   $features = chado_generate_var('feature', $values);
   // Expand the organism node
   $feature = chado_expand_var($feature, 'node', 'organism');
   // Expand the feature.residues field
   $feature = chado_expand_var($feature, 'field', 'feature.residues');
   // Expand the feature properties (featureprop table)
   $feature = chado_expand_var($feature, 'table', 'featureprop');
 * @endcode
 */

/**
 * 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:
 *  - 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
 *  added 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
 *      ),
 *   );
 *   $result = chado_insert_record('feature',$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.

 * argument give the values to update.  The arrays are mutli-dimensional such
 * that foreign key lookup values can be specified.
 *
 * @param $table
 *  The name of the chado table for inserting
 * @param $match
 *  An associative array containing the values for locating a record to update.
 * @param $values
 *  An associative array containing the values for updating.
 * @param $options
 *  An array of options such as:
 *  - return_record: by default, the function will return the TRUE if the record
 *     was succesfully updated.  However, set this option to TRUE to return the
 *     record that was updated.  The returned record will have the fields provided
 *     but the primary key (if available for the table) will be added to the record.

/**
 * 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. If you need to filter
 *  results using more complex methods see the 'Complex Filtering' section below.
 * @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 records 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
 *  - is_duplicate: TRUE or FALSE.  Checks the values submited to see if
 *     they violate any of the unique constraints. If not, the record
 *     is returned, if so, FALSE is returned.
 *  - pager:  Use this option if it is desired to return only a subset of results
 *     so that they may be shown with in a Drupal-style pager. This should be
 *     an array with two keys: 'limit' and 'element'.  The value of 'limit'
 *     should specify the number of records to return and 'element' is a
 *     unique integer to differentiate between pagers when more than one
 *     appear on a page.  The 'element' should start with zero and increment by
 *     one for each pager.
 *  -limit:  Specifies the number of records to return.
 *  -offset:  Indicates the number of records to skip before returning records.
 *
 * @return
 *  An array of results, FALSE if the query was not executed
 *  correctly, an empty array if no records were matched, 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
 *   $columns = array('feature_id', 'name');
 *   $values =  array(
 *     'organism_id' => array(
 *         'genus' => 'Citrus',
 *         'species' => array('sinensis', 'clementina'),
 *      ),

 *   $options = array(
 *     'order_by' => array(
 *        'name' => 'ASC'
 *     ),
 *   );
 *   $result = chado_select_record('feature',$columns,$values,$options);
 * @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.  In the example above, two different species
 * are allowed to match
 *
 * Complex Filtering:
 *   All of the documentation above supports filtering based on 'is equal to'
 *   or 'is NULL'. If your criteria doesn't fall into one of these two categories
 *   then you need to provide an array with additional details such as the operator
 *   as well as the value. An example follows and will be discussed in detail.
 *   @code
      $columns = array('feature_id', 'fmin', 'fmax');
      // Regular criteria specifying the parent feature to retrieve locations from.
      $values = array(
        'srcfeature_id' => array(

          'type_id' => array(
            'name' => 'pseudomolecule'
          ),
        ),
      );
      // Complex filtering to specify the range to return locations from.
      $values['fmin'][] = array(
        'op' => '>',
        'data' => 15
      );
      $values['fmin'][] = array(
        'op' => '<',
        'data' => 100
      );
      $results = chado_select_record('featureloc', $columns, $values);
 *   @endcode
 *   The above code example will return all of the name, start and end of all

 *  - 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',
 *   );
 *   $value = chado_schema_get_foreign_key('feature', 'organism_id',$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.
