  # Obtain db handle
  use Bugzilla::DB;
  my $dbh = Bugzilla->dbh;

  # prepare a query using DB methods
  my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT " .
                          $dbh->sql_date_format("creation_ts", "%Y%m%d") .
                          " FROM bugs WHERE bug_status != 'RESOLVED' " .
                          $dbh->sql_limit(1));

  # Execute the query
  $sth->execute;
  
  # Get the results
  my @result = $sth->fetchrow_array;

  # Schema Changes
  $dbh->bz_add_field($table, $column, $definition);

  my $exists    = $dbh->bz_table_exists($table);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Functions in this module allows creation of a database handle to connect
to the Bugzilla database. This should never be done directly; all users
should use the L<Bugzilla> module to access the current C<dbh> instead.

This module also contains methods extending the returned handle with
functionality which is different between databases allowing for easy
customization for particular database via inheritance. These methods
should be always preffered over hard-coding SQL commands.

Access to the old SendSQL-based database routines are also provided by
importing the C<:deprecated> tag. These routines should not be used in new
code.

=head1 CONSTANTS

Subclasses of Bugzilla::DB are required to define certain constants. These
constants are required to be subroutines or "use constant" variables.

=over 4

=item C<REQUIRED_VERSION>

This is the minimum required version of the database server that the
Bugzilla::DB subclass requires. It should be in a format suitable for
passing to vers_cmp during installation.

=item C<PROGRAM_NAME>

The human-readable name of this database. For example, for MySQL, this
would be 'MySQL.' You should not depend on this variable to know what
type of database you are running on; this is intended merely for displaying
to the admin to let them know what DB they're running.

=head1 CONNECTION

A new database handle to the required database can be created using this
module. This is normally done by the L<Bugzilla> module, and so these routines
should not be called from anywhere else.

=head2 Functions

=over 4

=item C<connect_main>

 Description: Function to connect to the main database, returning a new
              database handle.
 Params:      $no_db_name (optional) - If true, Connect to the database 
                  server, but don't connect to a specific database. This 
                  is only used when creating a database. After you create
                  the database, you should re-create a new Bugzilla::DB object
                  without using this parameter. 
 Returns:     new instance of the DB class

=item C<connect_shadow>

 Description: Function to connect to the shadow database, returning a new
              database handle.
              This routine C<die>s if no shadow database is configured.
 Params:      none
 Returns:     new instance of the DB class

=item C<_connect>

 Description: Internal function, creates and returns a new, connected
              instance of the correct DB class.
              This routine C<die>s if no driver is specified.
 Params:      $driver = name of the database driver to use
              $host = host running the database we are connecting to
              $dbname = name of the database to connect to
              $port = port the database is listening on
              $sock = socket the database is listening on
              $user = username used to log in to the database
              $pass = password used to log in to the database
 Returns:     new instance of the DB class

=item C<_handle_error>

 Description: Function passed to the DBI::connect call for error handling.
              It shortens the error for printing.

=item C<import>

 Description: Overrides the standard import method to check that derived class
              implements all required abstract methods. Also calls original
              implementation in its super class.

=back

=head2 Methods

Note: Methods which can be implemented generically for all DBs are implemented in
this module. If needed, they can be overriden with DB specific code.
Methods which do not have standard implementation are abstract and must
be implemented for all supported databases separately.
To avoid confusion with standard DBI methods, all methods returning string with
formatted SQL command have prefix C<sql_>. All other methods have prefix C<bz_>.

=over 4

=item C<new>

 Description: Constructor
              Abstract method, should be overriden by database specific code.
 Params:      $user = username used to log in to the database
              $pass = password used to log in to the database
              $host = host running the database we are connecting to
              $dbname = name of the database to connect to
              $port = port the database is listening on
              $sock = socket the database is listening on
 Returns:     new instance of the DB class
 Note:        The constructor should create a DSN from the parameters provided and
              then call C<db_new()> method of its super class to create a new
              class instance. See C<db_new> description in this module. As per
              DBI documentation, all class variables must be prefixed with
              "private_". See L<DBI>.

=item C<sql_regexp>

 Description: Outputs SQL regular expression operator for POSIX regex
              searches in format suitable for a given database.
              Abstract method, should be overriden by database specific code.
 Params:      none
 Returns:     formatted SQL for regular expression search (e.g. REGEXP)
              (scalar)

=item C<sql_not_regexp>

 Description: Outputs SQL regular expression operator for negative POSIX
              regex searches in format suitable for a given database.
              Abstract method, should be overriden by database specific code.
 Params:      none
 Returns:     formatted SQL for negative regular expression search
              (e.g. NOT REGEXP) (scalar)

=item C<sql_limit>

 Description: Returns SQL syntax for limiting results to some number of rows
              with optional offset if not starting from the begining.
              Abstract method, should be overriden by database specific code.
 Params:      $limit = number of rows to return from query (scalar)
              $offset = number of rows to skip prior counting (scalar)
 Returns:     formatted SQL for limiting number of rows returned from query

=item C<bz_lock_tables>

 Description: Performs a table lock operation on specified tables.
              If the underlying database supports transactions, it should also
              implicitly start a new transaction.
              Abstract method, should be overriden by database specific code.
 Params:      @tables = list of names of tables to lock in MySQL
              notation (ex. 'bugs AS bugs2 READ', 'logincookies WRITE')
 Returns:     none

=item C<bz_unlock_tables>

 Description: Performs a table unlock operation
              If the underlying database supports transactions, it should also
              implicitly commit or rollback the transaction.
              Also, this function should allow to be called with the abort flag
              set even without locking tables first without raising an error
              to simplify error handling.
              Abstract method, should be overriden by database specific code.
 Params:      $abort = UNLOCK_ABORT (true, 1) if the operation on locked tables
              failed (if transactions are supported, the action will be rolled
              back). False (0) or no param if the operation succeeded.
 Returns:     none

=item C<bz_last_key>

 Description: Returns the last serial number, usually from a previous INSERT.
              Must be executed directly following the relevant INSERT.
              This base implementation uses DBI->last_insert_id. If the
              DBD supports it, it is the preffered way to obtain the last
              serial index. If it is not supported, the DB specific code
              needs to override it with DB specific code.
 Params:      $table = name of table containing serial column (scalar)
              $column = name of column containing serial data type (scalar)
 Returns:     Last inserted ID (scalar)

              $definition = SQL for defining the new column
 Returns:     none

=item C<bz_change_field_type>

              the changes being made to stdout. If the new type is the 
              same as the old type, the function returns without changing
              anything.
 Params:      $table = the table where the column is
              $column = the name of the column you want to change
              $newtype = the new data type of the column, in SQL format.
 Returns:     none

=item C<bz_drop_field>

 Description: Removes a column from a database table. If the column
