See the Database interface for the common functions between the MySQL and PostgreSQL Database classes.

Version 1.0 – Oct 3, 2010

Version 0.11 – Aug 29, 2010

• Fixed Database::prepare_select() to set data pulled from the database to the right keys
• You no longer need to call Fabriq::model('ModelName') to load models. Models will now be automatically loaded whenever you instantiate a new copy.
• Added the static keyword where appropriate
• NOTE: all deprecated functions are marked as warnings with the Messaging class. Please update your code to remove them. The next release of Fabriq will not have deprecated functions in it.

Version 0.10 – Aug 8, 2010

• Cleaned up find function in the Model class. If your code uses the old version, your code can be updated to call find_old, however, you should update your code to use Database::prepare_select(). find_old in the Model class will be removed in version 1.0
• The find function in the Model class now accepts the string 'all' to select all records from the database and add them to the collection. Please note that for very large collections, it is possible that PHP will time out before returning all of the records. Be sure to only use 'all' for small collections.

• Functions in the Fabriq class that are marked as deprecated will now be removed in version 1.0
• Added 404 (page not found) and 500 (internal server error) base functions to the framework in the errors controller. You can set up your server to point to the proper actions by pointing them to http://example.com/404 and http://example.com/500 (replacing http://example.com with your domain). This functionality can easily be extended to include other errors as well as custom error codes by adding them to the errors controller, creating the proper views, and updating the /app/PathMap.class.php file. Please note that when creating new errors, your functions should be named with string valuesrather than numeric values (ex: 404 is the action fourohfour and 500 is the action fiveohoh).
