#pragma once
#include "ILog.h"
//	this is an interface base class between sqlite3, which speaks only C and utf8 char[]
//	and wxWidgets which speaks only C++ and unicode strings.

//	Its primary purpose is to avoid code that needs both the wxWidgets header files,
//	and the sqlite3.h header file.
//
//	It speaks only utf8 char[], and needs to be called in wxWidgets code using
//	wxString.utf8_str()	and its return values need to be interpreted in wxWidgets code
//	using wxString::FromUTF8().
//
//	This header file can be included in code that has the sqlite3.h header file
//	and in code that has the wxWidgets header file, for it has no dependencies on either one
//
//	In code that has wxWidgets headers, we call members of this interface class,
//	rather than directly calling sqlite3 functions.
//
//	I originally implemented the pimpl idiom, but it turns out that pimpl has become
//	substantially more difficult in C++14, because one is effectively rolling one's own
//	unique pointer.
//
//
/*	This code is at a low level abstraction, because it provides low level C++ interface to inherently low level C
	It is intended to be wrapped in higher level code that does not know about the nuts and bolts of sqlite3, but which supports throwing, templated functions, and all that.*/

	//	We can store any type in any column, and read any type from any column, but if something
	//	unexpected is in a column, it gets coerced to the expected type on being read back.
	//	Thus something stored as a number and read back as blob will come back as the decimal character string.
	//	It is very rarely valid to store different types in the same column, except that
