jbe@403 18 Opens a new database connection and returns a handle for that connection. You may chose to specify host, port, dbname, etc. as seperated arguments, or to use a "conninfo" string, which is directly passed to PostgreSQL's libpq. In the latter case, the "conninfo" string may also be passed directly as first argument to the connect function without supplying a table.

jbe@23 158 This method returns a SQL command by inserting the given values into the template string. Placeholders are "?" or "$", optionally followed by alphanumeric characters (including underscores). Placeholder characters can be escaped by writing them twice. A question-mark ("?") denotes a single value to be inserted, a dollar-sign ("$") denotes a list of sub-structures to be inserted. If alphanumeric characters are following the placeholder character, then these characters form a key, which is used to lookup the value to be used, otherwise values of numeric indicies are used.
