## Parameter substitution
## ----------------------
##
## All ``db_*`` modules support the same form of parameter substitution.
## That is, using the ``?`` (question mark) to signify the place where a
## value should be placed. For example:
##
## .. code-block:: Nim
## sql"INSERT INTO myTable (colA, colB, colC) VALUES (?, ?, ?)"
##
## **Note**: There are two approaches to parameter substitution support by
## this module.
##
## 1. ``SqlQuery`` using ``?, ?, ?, ...`` (same as all the ``db_*`` modules)
##
## 2. ``SqlPrepared`` using ``$1, $2, $3, ...``
##
## .. code-block:: Nim
## prepare(db, "myExampleInsert",
## sql"""INSERT INTO myTable
## (colA, colB, colC)
## VALUES ($1, $2, $3)""",
## 3)
##
## Examples
## --------
##
## Opening a connection to a database
## ==================================
##
## .. code-block:: Nim
## import db_postgres
## let db = open("localhost", "user", "password", "dbname")
## db.close()
##
## Creating a table
## ================
##
## .. code-block:: Nim
## db.exec(sql"DROP TABLE IF EXISTS myTable")
## db.exec(sql("""CREATE TABLE myTable (
## id integer,
## name varchar(50) not null)"""))
##
## Inserting data
## ==============
##
## .. code-block:: Nim
## db.exec(sql"INSERT INTO myTable (id, name) VALUES (0, ?)",
## "Dominik")
