24
# All DB code should be in this module to ensure portability if we want to
25
# change the DB implementation.
26
# This means no SQL strings should be outside of this module. Add functions
27

28
# activities within.

# CAUTION to editors of this module.

# All string inputs must be sanitized by calling _escape before being
