/**
 * db_prefs.php
 *
 * This contains functions for manipulating user preferences
 * stored in a database, accessed through the Pear DB layer
 * or PDO, the latter taking precedence if available.
 *
 * Database:
 *
 * The preferences table should have three columns:
 *    user       char  \  primary
 *    prefkey    char  /  key
 *    prefval    blob
 *
 *   CREATE TABLE userprefs (user CHAR(128) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
 *                           prefkey CHAR(64) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
 *                           prefval BLOB NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
 *                           primary key (user,prefkey));
 *
 * Configuration of databasename, username and password is done
 * by using conf.pl or the administrator plugin
 *
 * Three settings that control PDO behavior can be specified in
 * config/config_local.php if needed:
 *    boolean $disable_pdo SquirrelMail uses PDO by default to access the
 *                         user preferences and address book databases, but
 *                         setting this to TRUE will cause SquirrelMail to
 *                         fall back to using Pear DB instead.
 *    boolean $pdo_show_sql_errors When database errors are encountered,
 *                                 setting this to TRUE causes the actual
 *                                 database error to be displayed, otherwise
 *                                 generic errors are displayed, preventing
 *                                 internal database information from being
 *                                 exposed. This should be enabled only for
 *                                 debugging purposes.
 *    string $pdo_identifier_quote_char By default, SquirrelMail will quote
 *                                      table and field names in database
 *                                      queries with what it thinks is the
 *                                      appropriate quote character for the
 *                                      database type being used (backtick
 *                                      for MySQL (and thus MariaDB), double
 *                                      quotes for all others), but you can
 *                                      override the character used by
 *                                      putting it here, or tell SquirrelMail
 *                                      NOT to quote identifiers by setting
 *                                      this to "none"
