This file contains the DAL support for many relational databases,
including:
- SQLite & SpatiaLite
- MySQL
- Postgres
- Firebird
- 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(('sqlite://storage.sqlite','mysql://a:b@localhost/x'),
... 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')
<Row {'id': 1, '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'
'spatialite://test.db'
'sqlite:memory'
'spatialite:memory'

    """ 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.

    .define_tables() returns a dictionary mapping dal tablenames
    to the server mailbox names with the following structure:

    {<tablename>: str <server mailbox name>}

    Here is a list of supported fields:

    Field       Type            Description
    ################################################################
    uid         string
    answered    boolean        Flag
    created     date
    content     list:string    A list of text or html parts
    to          string
    cc          string
    bcc         string
    size        integer        the amount of octets of the message*
    deleted     boolean        Flag
    draft       boolean        Flag
    flagged     boolean        Flag
    sender      string
    recent      boolean        Flag
    seen        boolean        Flag
    subject     string
    mime        string         The mime header declaration
    email       string         The complete RFC822 message**
    attachments list:string    Each non text decoded part as string

    *At the application side it is measured as the length of the RFC822
    message string

    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)


    # This object give access
    # to the adapter auto mailbox
    # mapped names (which native
    # mailbox has what table name)

    db.mailboxes <dict> # tablename, server native name pairs

    # To retrieve a table native mailbox name use:

        placeholders is optional and will always be None.
        If using raw SQL with placeholders, placeholders may be
        a sequence of values to be substituted in
        or, (if supported by the DB driver), a dictionary with keys
        matching named placeholders in your SQL.

        Added 2009-12-05 "as_dict" optional argument. Will always be
        None when using DAL. If using raw SQL can be set to True
        and the results cursor returned by the DB driver will be
        converted to a sequence of dictionaries keyed with the db
        field names. Tested with SQLite but should work with any database
        since the cursor.description used to get field names is part of the
        Python dbi 2.0 specs. Results returned with as_dict=True are
        the same as those returned when applying .to_list() to a DAL query.

        [{field1: value1, field2: value2}, {field1: value1b, field2: value2b}]

        Added 2012-08-24 "fields" and "colnames" optional arguments. If either
        is provided, the results cursor returned by the DB driver will be
        converted to a DAL Rows object using the db._adapter.parse() method.

        The "fields" argument is a list of DAL Field objects that match the
        fields returned from the DB. The Field objects should be part of one or
        more Table objects defined on the DAL object. The "fields" list can
        include one or more DAL Table objects in addition to or instead of
        including Field objects, or it can be just a single table (not in a
        list). In that case, the Field objects will be extracted from the
        table(s).

        Instead of specifying the "fields" argument, the "colnames" argument
        can be specified as a list of field names in tablename.fieldname format.
        Again, these should represent tables and fields defined on the DAL
        object.

        It is also possible to specify both "fields" and the associated
        "colnames". In that case, "fields" can also include DAL Expression
        objects in addition to Field objects. For Field objects in "fields",
        the associated "colnames" must still be in tablename.fieldname format.
        For Expression objects in "fields", the associated "colnames" can
        be any arbitrary labels.

        Note, the DAL Table objects referred to by "fields" or "colnames" can
        be dummy tables and do not have to represent any real tables in the
        database. Also, note that the "fields" and "colnames" must be in the
        same order as the fields in the results cursor returned from the DB.
