---
-- Informix Library supporting a very limited subset of Informix operations
--
-- Summary
-- -------
-- Informix supports both The Open Group Distributed Relational Database
-- Architecture (DRDA) protocol, and their own. This library attempts to
-- implement a basic subset of operations. It currently supports;
--   o Authentication using plain-text usernames and passwords
--   o Simple SELECT, INSERT and UPDATE queries, possible more ...
--
-- Overview
-- --------
-- The library contains the following classes:
--
--   o Packet.*
--    - The Packet classes contain specific packets and function to serialize
--        them to strings that can be sent over the wire. Each class may also
--        contain a function to parse the servers response.
--
--   o ColMetaData
--      - A class holding the meta data for each column
--
--  o Comm
--    - Implements a number of functions to handle communication over the
--        the socket.
--
--  o Helper
--    - A helper class that provides easy access to the rest of the library
--
-- In addition the library contains the following tables with decoder functions
--
--  o MetaDataDecoders
--     - Contains functions to decode the column metadata per data type
--
--  o DataTypeDecoders
--     - Contains function to decode each data-type in the query resultset
--
--  o MessageDecoders
--     - Contains a decoder for each supported protocol message
--
-- Example
-- -------
-- The following sample code illustrates how scripts can use the Helper class
-- to interface the library:
--
-- <code>
--  helper   = informix.Helper:new( host, port, "on_demo" )
--  status, err = helper:Connect()
--  status, res = helper:Login("informix", "informix")
--  status, err = helper:Close()
-- </code>
--
-- Additional information
-- ----------------------
-- The implementation is based on analysis of packet dumps and has been tested
-- against:
--
-- x IBM Informix Dynamic Server Express Edition v11.50 32-bit on Ubuntu
-- x IBM Informix Dynamic Server xxx 32-bit on Windows 2003

-- Version 0.1
-- Created 07/23/2010 - v0.1 - created by Patrik Karlsson <patrik@cqure.net>
-- Revised 07/28/2010 - v0.2 - added support for SELECT, INSERT and UPDATE
--                             queries
