/* SQL Database API
 * By the AMX Mod X Development Team
 * Notes - Read the comments! Make sure your plugins use 
 *  nice ANSI SQL and don't use database column names like "key"
 *  otherwise this API will be a nightmare
 * Never do error checking with the not operator! This is bad:
 *   if (!dbi_query())
 * You should do:
 *   ret = dbi_query()
 *   if (ret < 0)
 * This is because DBI functions can and will return negative numbers
 * Negative numbers evaluate to "true" in AMX.
