This file contains the DAL support for many relational databases,
including:
- SQLite
- MySQL
- Postgres
- Oracle
- MS SQL
- DB2
- Interbase
- Ingres
- SapDB (experimental)
- Cubrid (experimental)
- CouchDB (experimental)
- MongoDB (in progress)
- Google:nosql
- Google:sql
- Teradata
- IMAP (experimental)

Example of usage:

>>> # from dal import DAL, Field

### create DAL connection (and create DB if it doesn't exist)
>>> db = DAL(('mysql://a:b@localhost/x', 'sqlite://storage.sqlite'), folder=None)

### define a table 'person' (create/alter as necessary)
>>> person = db.define_table('person',Field('name','string'))

### insert a record
>>> id = person.insert(name='James')

### retrieve it by id
>>> james = person(id)

### retrieve it by name
>>> james = person(name='James')

### retrieve it by arbitrary query
>>> query = (person.name=='James') & (person.name.startswith('J'))
>>> james = db(query).select(person.ALL)[0]

### update one record
>>> james.update_record(name='Jim')

### update multiple records by query
>>> db(person.name.like('J%')).update(name='James')
1

### delete records by query
>>> db(person.name.lower() == 'jim').delete()
0

### retrieve multiple records (rows)
>>> people = db(person).select(orderby=person.name, groupby=person.name, limitby=(0,100))

### further filter them
>>> james = people.find(lambda row: row.name == 'James').first()
>>> print james.id, james.name
1 James

### check aggregates
>>> counter = person.id.count()
>>> print db(person).select(counter).first()(counter)
1

### delete one record
>>> james.delete_record()
1

### delete (drop) entire database table
>>> person.drop()

Supported field types:
id string text boolean integer double decimal password upload blob time date datetime

Supported DAL URI strings:
'sqlite://test.db'
'sqlite:memory'
'jdbc:sqlite://test.db'
'mysql://root:none@localhost/test'
'postgres://mdipierro:password@localhost/test'
'postgres:psycopg2://mdipierro:password@localhost/test'
'postgres:pg8000://mdipierro:password@localhost/test'

'oracle://username:password@database'
'firebird://user:password@server:3050/database'
'db2://DSN=dsn;UID=user;PWD=pass'
'firebird://username:password@hostname/database'
'firebird_embedded://username:password@c://path'
'informix://user:password@server:3050/database'
'informixu://user:password@server:3050/database' # unicode informix
'google:datastore' # for google app engine datastore

class IMAPAdapter(NoSQLAdapter):
    """ IMAP server adapter

      This class is intended as an interface with
    email IMAP servers to perform simple queries in the
    web2py DAL query syntax, so email read, search and
    other related IMAP mail services (as those implemented
    by brands like Google(r), and Yahoo!(r)
    can be managed from web2py applications.

    The code uses examples by Yuji Tomita on this post:
    http://yuji.wordpress.com/2011/06/22/python-imaplib-imap-example-with-gmail/#comment-1137
    and is based in docs for Python imaplib, python email
    and email IETF's (i.e. RFC2060 and RFC3501)

    This adapter was tested with a small set of operations with Gmail(r). Other
    services requests could raise command syntax and response data issues.

    It creates its table and field names "statically",
    meaning that the developer should leave the table and field
    definitions to the DAL instance by calling the adapter's
    .define_tables() method. The tables are defined with the
    IMAP server mailbox list information.

    Here is a list of supported fields:

    Field       Type            Description

    WARNING: As row id's are mapped to email sequence numbers,
    make sure your imap client web2py app does not delete messages
    during select or update actions, to prevent
    updating or deleting different messages.
    Sequence numbers change whenever the mailbox is updated.
    To avoid this sequence numbers issues, it is recommended the use
    of uid fields in query references (although the update and delete
    in separate actions rule still applies).

    # This is the code recommended to start imap support
    # at the app's model:

    imapdb = DAL("imap://user:password@server:port", pool_size=1) # port 993 for ssl
    imapdb.define_tables()

    Here is an (incomplete) list of possible imap commands:

    # Count today's unseen messages
    # smaller than 6000 octets from the
    # inbox mailbox

    q = imapdb.INBOX.seen == False
    q &= imapdb.INBOX.created == datetime.date.today()
    q &= imapdb.INBOX.size < 6000
    unread = imapdb(q).count()

    # Fetch last query messages
    rows = imapdb(q).select()

    # it is also possible to filter query select results with limitby and
    # sequences of mailbox fields

    set.select(<fields sequence>, limitby=(<int>, <int>))

    # Mark last query messages as seen
    messages = [row.uid for row in rows]
    seen = imapdb(imapdb.INBOX.uid.belongs(messages)).update(seen=True)

    # Delete messages in the imap database that have mails from mr. Gumby

    deleted = 0
    for mailbox in imapdb.tables
        deleted += imapdb(imapdb[mailbox].sender.contains("gumby")).delete()

    # It is possible also to mark messages for deletion instead of ereasing them
    # directly with set.update(deleted=True)

    Example of search condition using  belongs

    >>> set = (1, 2, 3)
    >>> rows = db(db.paper.id.belongs(set)).select(db.paper.ALL)
    >>> print rows[0].title

    Example of search condition using nested select

    >>> rows = db(db.paper.id.belongs(nested_select)).select(db.paper.ALL)
    >>> print rows[0].title
    QCD

    Example of expressions

    >>> mynumber = db.define_table('mynumber', Field('x', 'integer'))
    >>> db(mynumber.id>0).delete()
    0
    >>> for i in range(10): tmp = mynumber.insert(x=i)
    >>> db(mynumber.id>0).select(mynumber.x.sum())[0](mynumber.x.sum())
    45

    >>> db(mynumber.x+2==5).select(mynumber.x + 2)[0](mynumber.x + 2)
    5

    Output in csv

    >>> print str(authored_papers.select(db.author.name, db.paper.title)).strip()
    author.name,paper.title\r
    Massimo,QCD

    Delete all leftover tables

    >>> DAL.distributed_transaction_commit(db)

    >>> db.mynumber.drop()
