// .NAME vtkSQLDatabase - maintain a connection to an sql database
//
// .SECTION Description
// Abstract base class for all SQL database connection classes.
// Manages a connection to the database, and is responsible for creating
// instances of the associated vtkSQLQuery objects associated with this
// class in order to perform execute queries on the database.
// To allow connections to a new type of database, create both a subclass
// of this class and vtkSQLQuery, and implement the required functions:
//
// Open() - open the database connection, if possible.
// Close() - close the connection.
// GetQueryInstance() - create and return an instance of the vtkSQLQuery
//                      subclass associated with the database type.
//
// The subclass should also provide API to set connection parameters.
//
// This class also provides the function EffectSchema to transform a
// database schema into a SQL database.
//
// .SECTION Thanks
// Thanks to Andrew Wilson from Sandia National Laboratories for his work
// on the database classes and for the SQLite example. Thanks to David Thompson
// and Philippe Pebay from Sandia National Laboratories for implementing
// this class.
