/**
 * \class Connection Connection.h <dataquay/Connection.h>
 *
 * Connection provides a connection interface to TransactionalStore,
 * allowing it to be used in a convenient manner familiar to
 * programmers working with SQL databases.
 * 
 * Each processing thread may construct a Connection to a central
 * TransactionalStore.  The Connection will start a new Transaction on
 * the store when the first modifying function (add, remove, change or
 * revert) is called and will continue to use this Transaction for all
 * accesses to the store until either commit() or rollback() is called
 * on the Connection.
 *
 * Any read-only functions called on this class between a commit() or
 * rollback() and the next modifying function will be passed directly
 * to the store without any transaction.  Read-only functions called
 * while a transaction is in progress will be passed through the
 * current transaction, and so will read the effective state of the
 * store with the partial transaction in force.
 *
 * The Connection commits any active Transaction when it is deleted.
 * To avoid this, call rollback() before deletion.  No other
 * auto-commit functionality is provided -- if you want auto-commit,
 * use the TransactionalStore's own interface in AutoTransaction mode.
 *
 * Each Connection should be used in a single processing thread only.
 * Connection is not thread-safe.
