/**
 * @brief zdbpp.h - C++ Interface for libzdb
 *
 * <center><img src="database++.png" class="resp-img" style="width:700px"></center>
 *
 * A modern, type-safe way to interact with various SQL databases from C++ applications.
 *
 * ## Features
 *
 * - Thread-safe Database Connection Pool
 * - Connect to multiple database systems simultaneously
 * - Zero runtime configuration, connect using a URL scheme
 * - Supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Oracle
 * - Modern C++ features (C++20 or later required)
 *
 * ## Core Concepts
 *
 * The central class in this library is `ConnectionPool`, which manages database
 * connections. All other main classes (`Connection`, `PreparedStatement`, and
 * `ResultSet`) are obtained through the `ConnectionPool` or its derivatives.
 *
 * ### ConnectionPool and URL
 *
 * The `ConnectionPool` is initialized with a `URL` object, which specifies the
 * database connection details:
 *
 * ```cpp
 * zdb::URL url("mysql://localhost:3306/mydb?user=root&password=secret");
 * zdb::ConnectionPool pool(url);
 * pool.start();
 * ```
 *
 * A ConnectionPool is designed to be a long-lived object that manages database
 * connections throughout the lifetime of your application. Typically, you would
 * instantiate one or more ConnectionPool objects as part of a resource management
 * class or in the global scope of your application.
 *
 * ### Best Practices for Using ConnectionPool
 *
 * 1. Create ConnectionPool instances at application startup.
 * 2. Maintain these instances for the entire duration of your application's runtime.
 * 3. Use a single ConnectionPool for each distinct database you need to connect to.
 * 4. Consider wrapping ConnectionPool instances in a singleton or dependency
 *    injection pattern for easy access across your application.
 * 5. Ensure proper shutdown of ConnectionPool instances when your application
 *    terminates to release all database resources cleanly.
 *
 * Example of a global ConnectionPool manager:
 *
 * ```cpp
 * class DatabaseManager {
 * public:
 *     static ConnectionPool& getMainPool() {
 *         static ConnectionPool mainPool("mysql://localhost/maindb?user=root&password=pass");
 *         return mainPool;
 *     }
 *
 *     static ConnectionPool& getAnalyticsPool() {
 *         static ConnectionPool analyticsPool("postgresql://analyst:pass@192.168.8.217/datawarehouse");
 *         return analyticsPool;
 *     }
 *
 *     static void initialize() {
 *         static std::once_flag initFlag;
 *         std::call_once(initFlag, []() {
 *             // Configure and start main pool
 *             ConnectionPool& main = getMainPool();
 *             main.setInitialConnections(5);  // Example value
 *             main.setMaxConnections(20);     // Example value
 *             main.setConnectionTimeout(30);  // 30 seconds timeout
 *             main.start();
 *
 *             // Configure and start analytics pool
 *             ConnectionPool& analytics = getAnalyticsPool();
 *             analytics.setInitialConnections(2);
 *             analytics.setMaxConnections(10);
 *             analytics.start();
 *         });
 *     }
 *
 *     static void shutdown() {
 *         getMainPool().stop();
 *         getAnalyticsPool().stop();
 *     }
 * };
 * ```
 *
 * ## Usage Examples
 *
 * ### Basic Query Execution
 *
 * ```cpp
 * auto& pool = DatabaseManager::getMainPool();
 * auto con = pool.getConnection();
 *
 * ResultSet result = con.executeQuery("SELECT name, age FROM users WHERE id = ?", 1);
 * if (result.next()) {
 *     std::cout << "Name: " << result.getString("name").value_or("N/A")
 *               << ", Age: " << result.getInt("age") << std::endl;
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * ### Using PreparedStatement
 *
 * ```cpp
 * auto& pool = DatabaseManager::getAnalyticsPool();
 * auto con = pool.getConnection();
 *
 * auto stmt = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO logs (message, timestamp) VALUES (?, ?)");
 * stmt.bindValues("User logged in", std::time(nullptr));
 * stmt.execute();
 * ```
 *
 * ### Transaction Example
 *
 * ```cpp
 * Connection con = pool.getConnection();
 *
 * // Use default isolation level
 * con.beginTransaction();
 * con.execute("UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance - ? WHERE id = ?", 100.0, 1);
 * con.commit();
 *
 * // Alternatively, specify the transaction's isolation level
 * con.beginTransaction(TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE));
 * con.execute("UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance + ? WHERE id = ?", 100.0, 2);
 * con.commit();
 * ```
 *
 * ## Exception Handling
 *
 * All database-related errors are thrown as `sql_exception`, which derives from
 * `std::runtime_error`.
 *
 * ### Example of Exception Handling
 *
 * ```cpp
 * try {
 *     Connection con = pool.getConnection();
 *     con.beginTransaction();
 *     con.execute("UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance - ? WHERE id = ?", 100.0, 1);
 *     con.execute("UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance + ? WHERE id = ?", 100.0, 2);
 *     con.commit();
 *     std::cout << "Transfer successful" << std::endl;
 *     // Connection is automatically returned to pool when it goes out of scope
 *     // If an exception occurred before commit, it will automatically rollback
 * } catch (const sql_exception& e) {
 *     std::cerr << "Transfer failed (" << e.error_code << "): << e.what() << std::endl;
 * }
 * ```
 * Key points about exception handling in this library:
 *
 * 1. All database operations that can fail will throw `sql_exception`.
 * 2. `sql_exception` provides informative error messages through its `what()` method.
 * 3. You should wrap database operations in try-catch blocks to handle potential errors gracefully.
 * 4. The library ensures that resources are properly managed even when exceptions are thrown, preventing resource leaks.

     * - **SQLite**: Extended error codes (include `<sqlite3.h>`)
     * - **Oracle**: ORA- error numbers (numeric portion only)

     * @class URL
     * @brief Represents an immutable Uniform Resource Locator.
     *
     * A Uniform Resource Locator (URL), is used to uniquely identify a
     * resource on the Internet. The URL is a compact text string with a
     * restricted syntax that consists of four main components:
     *
     * ```
     * protocol://<authority><path><query>
     * ```
     *
     * The `protocol` part is mandatory, the other components may or may not
     * be present in an URL string. For instance the `file` protocol only use
     * the path component while a `http` protocol may use all components.
     *
     * The following URL components are automatically unescaped according to the escaping
     * mechanism defined in RFC 2396; `credentials`, `path` and parameter
     * `values`. If you use a password with non-URL safe characters, you must URL
     * escape the value.
     *
     * An <em>IPv6 address</em> can be used for host as defined in
     * <a href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt">RFC2732</a> by enclosing the
     * address in [brackets]. For instance,
     * `mysql://[2010:836B:4179::836B:4179]:3306/test`
     *
     * For more information about the URL syntax and specification, see,

     * A ResultSet maintains a cursor pointing to its current row of data.
     * Initially, the cursor is positioned before the first row.
     * ResultSet::next() moves the cursor to the next row, and because
     * it returns false when there are no more rows, it can be used in a while
     * loop to iterate through the result set. A ResultSet is not updatable and
     * has a cursor that moves forward only. Thus, you can iterate through it
     * only once and only from the first row to the last row.
     *
     * The ResultSet class provides getter methods for retrieving
     * column values from the current row. Values can be retrieved using
     * either the index number of the column or the name of the column. In
     * general, using the column index will be more efficient. _Columns are
     * numbered from 1._
     *
     * Column names used as input to getter methods are case sensitive.
     * When a getter method is called with a column name and several
     * columns have the same name, the value of the first matching column
     * will be returned. The column name option is designed to be used
     * when column names are used in the SQL query that generated the
     * result set. For columns that are NOT explicitly named in the query,
     * it is best to use column indices.

     * ## Examples
     *
     * The following examples demonstrate how to obtain a ResultSet and
     * how to retrieve values from it.
     *
     * ### Example: Using column names
     *
     * In this example, columns are named in the SELECT statement, and we retrieve
     * values using the column names (we could of course also use indices if we
     * want):
     *
     * @code
     * Connection con = pool.getConnection();
     * ResultSet result = con.executeQuery("SELECT ssn, name, photo FROM employees");
     * while (result.next()) {
     *     int ssn = result.getInt("ssn");
     *     auto name = result.getString("name");
     *     auto photo = result.getBlob("photo");
     *     if (photo) {
     *         // Process photo data
     *     }
     *     // Process other data...
     * }
     * @endcode
     *
     * ### Example: Using column indices
     *
     * This example demonstrates selecting a generated result and printing it.
     * When the SELECT statement doesn't name the column, we use the column
     * index to retrieve the value:
     *
     * @code
     * Connection con = pool.getConnection();
     * ResultSet r = con.executeQuery("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM employees");
     * if (r.next()) {
     *     std::cout << "Number of employees: "
     *               << r.getString(1).value_or("none")
     *               << std::endl;
     * } else {
     *     std::cout << "No results returned" << std::endl;
     * }
     * @endcode
     *
     * ## Automatic type conversions
     *
     * A ResultSet stores values internally as bytes and converts values
     * on-the-fly to numeric types when requested, such as when getInt()
     * or one of the other numeric get-methods are called. In the above example,
     * even if *count(\*)* returns a numeric value, we can use getString()
     * to get the number as a string or if we choose, we can use getInt()
     * to get the value as an integer. In the latter case, note that if the column
     * value cannot be converted to a number, an sql_exception is thrown.
     *
     * ## Date and Time
     *
     * ResultSet provides two principal methods for retrieving temporal column
     * values as C types. getTimestamp() converts a SQL timestamp value
     * to a `time_t` and getDateTime() returns a `tm structure` representing
     * a Date, Time, DateTime, or Timestamp column type. To get a temporal column
     * value as a string, simply use getString()
     *
     * *A ResultSet is reentrant, but not thread-safe and should only be used by
     * one thread (at a time).*
     *
     * @note Remember that column indices in ResultSet are 1-based, not 0-based.
     *
     * @warning ResultSet objects are internally managed by the Connection that
     * created them and are not copyable or movable. Always ensure that the originating
     * Connection object remains valid for the entire duration of the ResultSet's
     * use. Basically, keep the Connection and ResultSet objects in the same scope.
     * Do not attempt to use ResultSet objects (including through references or
     * pointers) after their Connection has been closed and returned to the pool.

     * @class PreparedStatement
     * @brief Represents a pre-compiled SQL statement for later execution.
     *
     * A PreparedStatement is created by calling Connection::prepareStatement(). The SQL
     * statement may contain *in* parameters of the form "?". Such parameters represent
     * unspecified literal values (or "wildcards") to be filled in later by the bind methods
     * defined in this class. Each *in* parameter has an associated index number which is
     * its sequence in the statement. The first *in* '?' parameter has index 1,
     * the next has index 2 and so on.
     *
     * Consider this statement:
     * ```sql
     * INSERT INTO employee(name, photo) VALUES(?, ?)
     * ```
     * There are two *in* parameters in this statement, the parameter for setting
     * the name has index 1 and the one for the photo has index 2. To set the values
     * for the *in* parameters we use bindValues() with two values, one for each *in*
     * parameter. Or we can use bind() to set the parameter values one by one.
     *
     * ## Examples
     *
     * The following examples demonstrate how to create and use a PreparedStatement.
     *
     * ### Example: Binding all values at once
     *
     * This example shows how to prepare a statement, bind multiple values at once, and execute it:
     *
     * ```cpp
     * Connection con = pool.getConnection();
     * PreparedStatement stmt = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO employee(name, photo) VALUES(?, ?)");
     * stmt.bindValues("Kamiya Kaoru", jpeg);
     * stmt.execute();
     * ```
     *
     * ### Example: Binding values individually
     *
     * Instead of binding all values at once, we can also bind values one by one by
     * specifying the parameter index we want to set a value for:
     *
     * ```cpp
     * PreparedStatement stmt = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO employee(name, photo) VALUES(?, ?)");
     * stmt.bind(1, "Kamiya Kaoru");
     * stmt.bind(2, jpeg);
     * stmt.execute();
     * ```
     *
     * ## Reuse
     *
     * A PreparedStatement can be reused. That is, the method execute() can be called one
     * or more times to execute the same statement. Clients can also set new *in* parameter
     * values and re-execute the statement as shown in this example, where we also show use
     * of a transaction and exception handling:
     *
     * ```cpp
     * PreparedStatement stmt = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO employee(name, photo) VALUES(?, ?)");
     * try {
     *     con.beginTransaction();
     *     for (const auto& emp : employees) {
     *         stmt.bind(1, emp.name);
     *         if (emp.photo) {
     *             stmt.bind(2, *emp.photo);
     *         } else {
     *             stmt.bind(2, nullptr); // Set to SQL NULL if no photo
     *         }
     *         stmt.execute();
     *     }
     *     con.commit();
     * } catch (const sql_exception& e) {
     *     con.rollback();
     *     std::cerr << "Database error (" << e.error_code << "): << e.what() << std::endl;
     * }
     * ```
     *
     * ## Date and Time
     *
     * bindValues() or bind() can be used to set a Unix timestamp value as a `time_t` type.
     * To set Date, Time or DateTime values, simply use one of the bind methods to set a
     * time string in a format understood by your database. For instance to set a SQL Date value,
     * ```cpp
     * stmt.bind(parameterIndex, "2024-12-28");
     * // or using bindValues
     * stmt.bindValues("2019-12-28", ...);
     * ```
     *
     * ## Result Sets
     *
     * See Connection::executeQuery()
     *
     * ## SQL Injection Prevention
     *
     * Prepared Statement is particularly useful when dealing with user-submitted data, as
     * properly used Prepared Statements provide strong protection against SQL injection
     * attacks. By separating SQL logic from data, PreparedStatements ensure that user input
     * is treated as data only, not as part of the SQL command.
     *
     * *A PreparedStatement is reentrant, but not thread-safe and should only be used
     * by one thread (at a time).*
     *
     * @note Remember that parameter indices in PreparedStatement are 1-based, not 0-based.
     *
     * @note To minimizes memory allocation and avoid unnecessary data copying, string and blob
     * values are set by reference and _MUST_ remain valid until PreparedStatement::execute()
     * has been called.
     *
     * @warning PreparedStatement objects are internally managed by the Connection that
     * created them and are not copyable or movable. Always ensure that the originating
     * Connection object remains valid for the entire duration of the PreparedStatement's
     * use. Basically, keep the Connection and PreparedStatement objects in the same scope.
     * Do not attempt to use PreparedStatement objects (including through references or
     * pointers) after their Connection has been closed and returned to the pool.

     * @class Connection
     * @brief Represents a connection to a SQL database system.
     *
     * Use a Connection to execute SQL statements. There are three ways to
     * execute statements: execute() is used to execute SQL
     * statements that do not return a result set. Such statements are INSERT,
     * UPDATE or DELETE. executeQuery() is used to execute a SQL
     * SELECT statement and return a result set. These methods can handle
     * various data types, including binary data, by automatically creating
     * a PreparedStatement when arguments are provided. For more complex
     * scenarios or when reusing statements, you can explicitly create a
     * PreparedStatement object using the prepareStatement() method.
     *
     * The method executeQuery() will return an empty ResultSet (not null)
     * if the SQL statement did not return any values. A ResultSet is valid 
     * until the next call to Connection execute or until the Connection is
     * returned to the ConnectionPool. If an error occurs during execution,
     * an sql_exception is thrown.
     *
     * Any SQL statement that changes the database (basically, any SQL
     * command other than SELECT) will automatically start a transaction
     * if one is not already in effect. Automatically started transactions
     * are committed at the conclusion of the command.
     *
     * Transactions can also be started manually using beginTransaction(). Such
     * transactions usually persist until the next call to commit() or rollback().
     * A transaction will also rollback if the database is closed or if an
     * error occurs. Nested transactions are not allowed.
     *
     * ## Examples
     *
     * ### Basic Query Execution
     * @code
     * Connection con = pool.getConnection();
     * ResultSet result = con.executeQuery("SELECT name, age FROM users WHERE id = ?", 1);
     * if (result.next()) {
     *     std::cout << "Name: " << result.getString("name").value_or("N/A")
     *               << ", Age: " << result.getInt("age") << std::endl;
     * }
     * @endcode
     *
     * ### Transaction Example
     *

     *     Connection con = pool.getConnection();
     *     con.beginTransaction();
     *     con.execute("UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance - ? WHERE id = ?", 100.0, 1);
     *     con.execute("UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance + ? WHERE id = ?", 100.0, 2);
     *     con.commit();
     *     std::cout << "Transfer successful" << std::endl;
     * } catch (const sql_exception& e) {
     *     // See note below why we don't have to explicit call rollback here
     *     std::cerr << "Transfer failed (" << e.error_code << "): << e.what() << std::endl;
     * }
     * @endcode
     *
     * ### Using PreparedStatement
     * @code
     * Connection con = pool.getConnection();
     * auto stmt = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO logs (message, timestamp) VALUES (?, ?)");
     * stmt.bindValues("User logged in", std::time(nullptr));
     * stmt.execute();
     * std::cout << "Rows affected: " << stmt.rowsChanged() << std::endl;
     * @endcode

     * returned to the pool. If the connection is still in a transaction at
     * this point, the transaction will be automatically rolled back, ensuring
     * data integrity even in the face of exceptions.

     *
     * A ConnectionPool can be used to obtain connections to a database and execute statements.
     * This class opens a number of database connections and allows callers to obtain and use
     * a database connection in a reentrant manner. Applications can instantiate as many
     * ConnectionPool objects as needed and against as many different database systems as needed.
     *
     * ## Connection URL:
     *
     * The URL given to a Connection Pool at creation time specifies a database
     * connection in the standard URL format:
     *
     * ```
     * database://[user:password@][host][:port]/database[?propertyName1][=propertyValue1][&propertyName2][=propertyValue2]...
     * ```
     *
     * The property names `user` and `password` are always recognized and specify how to log in
     * to the database. Other properties depend on the database server in question. Username and
     * password can alternatively be specified in the auth-part of the URL. If port number is
     * omitted, the default port number for the database server is used.
     *
     * ### MySQL:
     *
     * Example URL for MySQL:
     * ```
     * mysql://localhost:3306/test?user=root&password=swordfish
     * ```
     * Or using the auth-part of the URL:
     * ```
     * mysql://root:swordfish@localhost:3306/test
     * ```
     * See [mysql options](mysqloptions.html) for all properties that can be set for a mysql connection URL.
     *
     * ### SQLite:
     *
     * For SQLite, the URL should specify a database file. SQLite uses [pragma commands](http://sqlite.org/pragma.html) for performance tuning and other special purpose
     * database commands. Pragma syntax in the form `name=value` can be added as properties to the URL. In addition to pragmas, the following properties are supported:
     *
     * - `serialized=true` - Make SQLite switch to serialized mode
     *   if value is true, otherwise multi-thread mode is used (the default).
     * - `shared-cache=true` - Make SQLite use shared-cache if value is true.
     *   Using shared cache can significantly reduce database lock errors in
     *   some scenarios where two or more connections might write to the database.
     *   It is also recommended to build libsqlite and libzdb with unlock  notify.
     *
     * Example URL for SQLite (with recommended pragmas):
     * ```
     * sqlite:///var/sqlite/test.db?synchronous=normal&foreign_keys=on&journal_mode=wal&temp_store=memory
     * ```
     *
     * ### PostgreSQL:
     *
     * Example URL for PostgreSQL:
     * ```
     * postgresql://localhost:5432/test?user=root&password=swordfish
     * ```
     * Or using the auth-part and SSL:
     * ```
     * postgresql://root:swordfish@localhost/test?use-ssl=true
     * ```
     * See [postgresql options](postgresoptions.html) for all properties that can be set for a postgresql connection URL.
     *
     * ### Oracle:
     *
     * Example URL for Oracle:
     * ```
     * oracle://localhost:1521/servicename?user=scott&password=tiger
     * ```
     * Or using the auth-part and SYSDBA role:
     * ```
     * oracle://sys:password@localhost:1521/servicename?sysdba=true
     * ```
     * See [oracle options](oracleoptions.html) for all properties that can be set for an oracle connection URL.
     *
     * ## Pool Management:
     *
     * The pool is designed to dynamically manage the number of active connections
     * based on usage patterns. A `reaper` thread is automatically started when the
     * pool is initialized to sweep through the pool at regular intervals (default
     * every 60 seconds) and close connections that have been inactive for a specified
     * time (default 90 seconds).
     *
     * ## Realtime inspection:
     *
     * Three methods can be used to inspect the pool at runtime. The method
     * size() returns the number of connections in the pool, that is, both active
     * and inactive connections. The method active() returns the number of active
     * connections, i.e., those connections in current use by your application.
     * The method isFull() can be used to check if the pool is full and unable to
     * return a connection.
     *
     * ## Example Usage:
     *
     * @code
     * ConnectionPool pool("mysql://localhost/test?user=root&password=swordfish");
     * pool.start();
     * // ...
     * Connection con = pool.getConnection();
     * ResultSet result = con.executeQuery("SELECT id, name, photo FROM employee WHERE salary > ?", 50000);
     * while (result.next()) {
     *     int id = result.getInt("id");
     *     auto name = result.getString("name");
     *     auto photo = result.getBlob("photo");
     *     // Process data...
     * }
     * @endcode
     *
     * @note This ConnectionPool is thread-safe.
     *
     * @warning A ConnectionPool is neither copyable nor movable. It is designed to be a
     * long-lived object that manages database connections throughout the lifetime of your
     * application. Typically, you would instantiate one or more ConnectionPool objects
     * as part of a resource management class or in the global scope of your application.
