19 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.

130 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.
132 TODO: documentation of input-converters
134 List of sub-structures are tables with an optional "sep" value, which is used as seperator. Each (numerically indexed) entry of this table is passed to a recursive call of "assemble_command" and concatenated with the given seperator, or ", ", if no seperator is given.

155 This method executes one or multiple SQL commands and returns its results. Each command is pre-processed by the "assemble_command" method of the database handle. A mode can be selected for each command: "list" for normal queries, "object" for queries which have exactly one result row, or "opt_object" which have one or zero result rows. If an error occurs, an error object is returned as first result value.
157 The mode of the last command may be ommitted and default to "list".
