 *
 * This API is currently in its infancy and some necessary functions might be missing. If you find

/** 
 * @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).

* @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.

/** 
 * 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.
 * @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).
 *
 * 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
 *      will exclude all text fields with a length > 50. Thus if $feature.residues is longer than 50 *      it will be excluded, otherwise it will be added.

 * 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.
 * @return
 *   A chado object supplemented with the field/table/node requested to be expanded
 *
 * Example Usage:
 * @code
      // Get a chado object to be expanded
      $values = array(
        'name' => 'Medtr4g030710'
