/**
 * Database abstraction layer.  Contains explicit SQL schemas for our
 *  fundamental representations (core 'nouns', if you will) as well as
 *  specialized functions for then dealing with each type of object.  At the
 *  same time, we are beginning to support extension-provided tables, which
 *  call into question whether we really need our hand-rolled code, or could
 *  simply improve the extension-provided table case to work for most of our
 *  hand-rolled cases.
 * For now, the argument can probably be made that our explicit schemas and code
 *  is readable/intuitive (not magic) and efficient (although generic stuff
 *  could also be made efficient, if slightly evil through use of eval or some
 *  other code generation mechanism.)
 *
 * === Data Model Interaction / Dependencies
 *
 * Dependent on and assumes limited knowledge of the datamodel.js
 *  implementations.  datamodel.js actually has an implicit dependency on
 *  our implementation, reaching back into the datastore via the _datastore
 *  attribute which we pass into every instance we create.
 * We pass a reference to ourself as we create the datamodel.js instances (and
 *  they store it as _datastore) because of a half-implemented attempt to make
 *  it possible to live in a world where we have multiple datastores.  This
 *  would be desirable in the cases where we are dealing with multiple SQLite
 *  databases.  This could be because of per-account global databases or
 *  some other segmentation.  This was abandoned when the importance of
 *  per-account databases was diminished following public discussion, at least
 *  for the short-term, but no attempted was made to excise the feature or
 *  preclude it.  (Merely a recognition that it's too much to try and implement
 *  correct right now, especially because our solution might just be another
 *  (aggregating) layer on top of things, rather than complicating the lower
 *  levels.)
 *
 * === Object Identity / Caching
 *
 * The issue of object identity is handled by integration with the collection.js
 *  provided GlodaCollectionManager.  By "Object Identity", I mean that we only
 *  should ever have one object instance alive at a time that corresponds to
 *  an underlying database row in the database.  Where possible we avoid
 *  performing database look-ups when we can check if the object is already
 *  present in memory; in practice, this means when we are asking for an object
 *  by ID.  When we cannot avoid a database query, we attempt to make sure that
 *  we do not return a duplicate object instance, instead replacing it with the
 *  'live' copy of the object.  (Ideally, we would avoid any redundant
 *  construction costs, but that is not currently the case.)
 * Although you should consult the GlodaCollectionManager for details, the
 *  general idea is that we have 'collections' which represent views of the
 *  database (based on a query) which use a single mechanism for double duty.
 *  The collections are registered with the collection manager via weak
 *  reference.  The first 'duty' is that since the collections may be desired
 *  to be 'live views' of the data, we want them to update as changes occur.
 *  The weak reference allows the collection manager to track the 'live'
 *  collections and update them.  The second 'duty' is the caching/object
 *  identity duty.  In theory, every live item should be referenced by at least
 *  one collection, making it reachable for object identity/caching purposes.
 * There is also an explicit (inclusive) caching layer present to both try and
 *  avoid poor performance from some of the costs of this strategy, as well as
 *  to try and keep track of objects that are being worked with that are not
 *  (yet) tracked by a collection.  Using a size-bounded cache is clearly not
 *  a guarantee of correctness for this, but is suspected will work quite well.
 *  (Well enough to be dangerous because the inevitable failure case will not be
 *  expected.)
 *
 * The current strategy may not be the optimal one, feel free to propose and/or
 *  implement better ones, especially if you have numbers.
 * The current strategy is not fully implemented in this file, but the common
 *  cases are believed to be covered.  (Namely, we fail to purge items from the
 *  cache as they are purged from the database.)
 *
 * === Things That May Not Be Obvious (Gotchas)
 *
 * Although the schema includes "triggers", they are currently not used
 *  and were added when thinking about implementing the feature.  We will
 *  probably implement this feature at some point, which is why they are still
 *  in there.
 *
 * We, and the layers above us, are not sufficiently thorough at cleaning out
 *  data from the database, and may potentially orphan it _as new functionality
 *  is added in the future at layers above us_.  That is, currently we should
 *  not be leaking database rows, but we may in the future.  This is because
 *  we/the layers above us lack a mechanism to track dependencies based on
 *  attributes.  Say a plugin exists that extracts recipes from messages and
 *  relates them via an attribute.  To do so, it must create new recipe rows
 *  in its own table as new recipes are discovered.  No automatic mechanism
 *  will purge recipes as their source messages are purged, nor does any
 *  event-driven mechanism explicitly inform the plugin.  (It could infer
 *  such an event from the indexing/attribute-providing process, or poll the
 *  states of attributes to accomplish this, but that is not desirable.)  This
 *  needs to be addressed, and may be best addressed at layers above
 *  datastore.js.
