Detailed Description

wx::DBI contains a standard interface to various database engines.

The wx::DBI namespace holds a number of classes which present a standard interface for database access for various relational database engines.

This class was written as an alternative to wxDB. The aspects to wxDB which I do not like are:

1. Table- (not query-) oriented access. There is no reason why queries should be presumed to access only a single table.
2. The whole query builder interface. You are supposed to supply the various parts of a query separately. Doing so makes no sense. The problem with querying is NOT building queries, it's passing params and getting results.
3. The lack of a method for returning records. You have to step and get values of bound variables.
