/**
 * @defgroup sql Query Builder
 * Privatemsg does use its own simple query builder which allows to extend
 * SELECT-Queries in an easy way. The function _privatemsg_assemble_query
 * creates the query, based on an array $fragments with the following content.
 * Except primary_table, each key is an array itself to allow multiple values
 *
 *  - primary_table: The main table to select from
 *  - select: The fields that should be selected. This can be a simple field, a
 *    field with alias or even a subquery.
 *  - inner_join: The tables that should be joined. This is not specific to
 *    inner joins.
 *    Example: INNER JOIN pm_index pmi ON (pmi.mid = pm.mid)
 *  - where: The where conditions. The conditions are always AND, but it is
 *    possible to use OR inside a condition.
 *    Example: ⁽pmi.is_new = 1 OR pmi.deleted = 1)
 *  - order_by: Order By values, example: pm.timestamp ASC
 *  - query_args: It is possible to use the placeholders like %s in each part of
 *    the query. The values of query_args are then inserted into these.
 *    query_args consists of three arrays (join, where, having), one for each
 *    key that currently supports arguments.
 *
 * Use _privatemsg_assemble_query
 *
 * The privatemsg_assemble_query function takes a query_id as first argument
 * and optionally one or multiple arguments. query_id can either be a
 * string ('some_id') or an array('group_name', 'query_id'), if a string
 * is supplied, group_name defaults to 'privatemsg'. Returned is an array
 * with the keys 'query' (normal query) and 'count' (count query for pager).
 *
 * For the actual query data, the function group_name_sql_query_id is executed,
 * this functions does have $fragments as first parameter and then the
 * optional parameters.
 *
 * A short example:
 * @code
 * // First, create the sql function.
 * function privatemsg_sql_getsubject(&$fragments, $mid, $uid) {
 *   // Set the primary table.
 *   $fragments['primary_table'] = '{pm_message} pm';
 *
 *   // Add a field.
 *   $fragments['select'][] = 'pm.subject';
 *
 *   // Join another table.
 *   $fragment['inner_join'][] = 'JOIN {pm_index} pi ON (pi.mid = pm.mid)';
 *   $fragment['query_args']['join'][] $uid;
 *
 *   // And finally add a condition.
 *   $fragments['where'][] = 'pm.mid = %d';
 *   $fragments['query_args']['where'][] = $mid;
 * }
 *
 * // Now we can use that query everywhere.
 * $query = _privatemsg_assemble_query('getsubject', 5);
 * $result = db_query($query['query']);
 * @endcode
 * Extend existing queries
 *
 * To extend a privatemsg query, use hook_group_name_sql_query_id_alter.
 * This hook does use the same parameters as the sql function.
 *
 * Example:
 * @code
 * function mymodule_privatemsg_sql_getsubject_alter(&$fragments, $mid) {
 * // we want to load the body too..
 *  $fragments['select'][] = 'pm.body';
 * }
 * @endcode
 *
 * - List of sql query hooks.
 *  - list: List of messages, Parameters: $fragments, $accounty
 *  - list_sent: List of sent messages, Parameters: $fragments, $accounty
 *  - load: Load a single message, Parameters: $fragments, $pmid, $account
 *  - messages: Load the messages of a thread,
 *    Parameters: $fragments, $thread_id, $account
 *  - autocomplete: Searching usernames for the autocomplete feature,
 *    Parameters: $fragments, $search, $names
 *  - participants: Loads all participants of a thread,
 *    Parameters: $fragments, $thread_id
 *  - unread_count: Number of unread messages for a user,
 *    Parameters: $fragments, $account
 *
 * - The following query_id's are used in pm_block_user
 *  - threadautors: Return all authors of one or multiple threads,
 *    Parameters: $fragments, $threads

 *   message is loaded similiar to nodeapi_load, new values can be returned and

 * - @link hook_privatemsg_message_presave_alter presave_alter @endlink: Last
 *   changes to $message before the message is saved, parameter: $message
 * - @link hook_privatemsg_message_insert insert @endlink: message has been
 *   saved, $message has been updated with the mid and thread_id,

 *   going to be deleted, parameter: $message
 * - @link hook_privatemsg_message_view_alter view_alter @endlink: the message
 *   is going to be displayed, parameter: $vars
 *
 * In hooks with _alter suffix, $message is by reference.
 *
 * $message is an array, with all the relevant information about the message.
 * The information in there can be changed/extended by modules, but looks
 * typically like this:
 * @code
 * array (
 *   'mid' => 3517, // message id, identifies a message
 *   'author' => 27, // author id
 *   'subject' => 'raclebugav', // Message subject

 *   'is_new' => 0, // If the message has been read by the user
 *   'thread_id' => 3341, // thread id, this is actually the mid from the first
