* History:
* $Log$
+ * 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 !
