 * ToDo: Define enum for query settings
 * =====================================================================
 * Version: $Id$
 * =====================================================================
 * History:
 * $Log$
 * Revision 1.1  2004/11/16 21:46:07  mickeyl
 * libopie1 goes into unsupported
 *
 * Revision 1.10  2003/12/22 10:19:26  eilers
 * Finishing implementation of sql-backend for datebook. But I have to
 * port the PIM datebook application to use it, before I could debug the
 * whole stuff.
 * Thus, PIM-Database backend is finished, but highly experimental. And some
 * parts are still generic. For instance, the "queryByExample()" methods are
 * not (or not fully) implemented. Todo: custom-entries not stored.
 * The big show stopper: matchRegExp() (needed by OpieSearch) needs regular
 * expression search in the database, which is not supported by sqlite !
 * Therefore we need either an extended sqlite or a workaround which would
 * be very slow and memory consuming..
 *
 * Revision 1.9  2003/08/01 12:30:16  eilers
 * Merging changes from BRANCH_1_0 to HEAD
 *
 * Revision 1.8.2.1  2003/06/30 14:34:19  eilers
 * Patches from Zecke:
 * Fixing and cleaning up extraMap handling
 * Adding d_ptr for binary compatibility in the future
 *
 * Revision 1.8  2003/05/08 13:55:09  tille
 * search stuff
 * and match, toRichText & toShortText in oevent
 *
 * Revision 1.7  2003/04/13 18:07:10  zecke
 * More API doc
 * QString -> const QString&
 * QString = 0l -> QString::null
 *
 * Revision 1.6  2003/01/02 14:27:12  eilers
 * Improved query by example: Search by date is possible.. First step
 * for a today plugin for birthdays..
 *
 * Revision 1.5  2002/11/13 14:14:51  eilers
 * Added sorted for Contacts..
 *
 * Revision 1.4  2002/11/01 15:10:42  eilers
 * Added regExp-search in database for all fields in a contact.
 *
 * Revision 1.3  2002/10/16 10:52:40  eilers
 * Added some docu to the interface and now using the cache infrastucture by zecke.. :)
 *
 * Revision 1.2  2002/10/14 16:21:54  eilers
 * Some minor interface updates
 *
 * Revision 1.1  2002/09/27 17:11:44  eilers
 * Added API for accessing the Contact-Database ! It is compiling, but
 * please do not expect that anything is working !
 * I will debug that stuff in the next time ..
 * Please read README_COMPILE for compiling !
