/**
The JDBCAppender, writes messages into a database

<p><b>The JDBCAppender is configurable at runtime by setting options in two alternatives : </b></p>
<dir>
	<p><b>1. Use a configuration-file</b></p>
	<p>Define the options in a file (<A HREF="configfile_example.txt">example</A>) and call a <code>PropertyConfigurator.configure(filename)</code> in your code.</p>
	<p><b>2. Use the methods of JDBCAppender to do it</b></p>
	<p>Call <code>JDBCAppender::setOption(JDBCAppender.xxx_OPTION, String value)</code> to do it analogically without a configuration-file (<A HREF="code_example2.java">example</A>)</p>
</dir>

<p>All available options are defined as static String-constants in JDBCAppender named xxx_OPTION.</p>

<p><b>Here is a description of all available options :</b></p>
<dir>
	<p><b>1. Database-options to connect to the database</b></p>
	<p>- <b>URL_OPTION</b>			: a database url of the form jdbc:subprotocol:subname</p>
	<p>- <b>USERNAME_OPTION</b>	: the database user on whose behalf the connection is being made</p>
	<p>- <b>PASSWORD_OPTION</b>	: the user's password</p>

	<p><b>2. Connector-option to specify your own JDBCConnectionHandler</b></p>
	<p>- <b>CONNECTOR_OPTION</b>	: a classname which is implementing the JDBCConnectionHandler-interface</p>
	<p>This interface is used to get a customized connection.</p>
	<p>If in addition the database-options are given, these options will be used as arguments for the JDBCConnectionHandler-interface to get a connection.</p>
	<p>Else if no database-options are given, the JDBCConnectionHandler-interface is called without them.</p>
	<p>Else if this option is not defined, the database-options are required to open a connection by the JDBCAppender.</p>

	<p><b>3. SQL-option to specify a static sql-statement which will be performed with every occuring message-event</b></p>
	<p>- <b>SQL_OPTION</b>			: a sql-statement which will be used to write to the database</p>
	<p>Use the variable <b>@MSG@</b> on a location in the statement, which has to be dynamically replaced by the message-text.</p>
	<p>If you give this option, the table-option and columns-option will be ignored !</p>

	<p><b>4. Table-option to specify a table contained by the database</b></p>
	<p>- <b>TABLE_OPTION</b>		: the table in which the logging will be done</p>

	<p><b>5. Columns-option to describe the important columns of the table (Not nullable columns are mandatory to describe!)</b></p>
	<p>- <b>COLUMNS_OPTION</b>		: a formatted list of column-descriptions</p>
	<p>Each column description consists of</p>
	<dir>
		<p>- the <b><i>name</i></b> of the column (required)</p>
		<p>- a <b><i>logtype</i></b> which is a static constant of class LogType (required)</p>
		<p>- and a <b><i>value</i></b> which depends by the LogType (optional/required, depending by logtype)</p>
	</dir>
	<p>Here is a description of the available logtypes of class <b>{@link LogType}</b> and how to handle the <b><i>value</i></b>:</p>
	<dir>
		<p>o <b>MSG</b>			= a value will be ignored, the column will get the message. (One columns need to be of this type!)</p>
		<p>o <b>STATIC</b>		= the value will be filled into the column with every logged message. (Ensure that the type of value can be casted into the sql-type of the column!)</p>
		<p>o <b>ID</b>			= value must be a classname, which implements the JDBCIDHandler-interface.</p>
		<p>o <b>TIMESTAMP</b>	= a value will be ignored, the column will be filled with a actually timestamp with every logged message.</p>
		<p>o <b>EMPTY</b>		= a value will be ignored, the column will be ignored when writing to the database (Ensure to fill not nullable columns by a database trigger!)</p>
	</dir>
	<p>If there are more than one column to describe, the columns must be separated by a Tabulator-delimiter (unicode0008) !</p>
	<p>The arguments of a column-description must be separated by the delimiter '~' !</p>
	<p><i>(Example :  name1~logtype1~value1   name2~logtype2~value2...)</i></p>

	<p><b>6. Layout-options to define the layout of the messages (optional)</b></p>
	<p>- <b>_</b> : the layout wont be set by a xxx_OPTION</p>
	<p>See the configuration-file and code examples below...</p>
	<p>The default is a layout of the class {@link org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout} with the pattern=%m which representate only the message.</p>

	<p><b>7. Buffer-option to define the size of the message-event-buffer (optional)</b></p>
	<p>- <b>BUFFER_OPTION</b>		: define how many messages will be buffered until they will be updated to the database.</p>
	<p>The default is buffer=1, which will do a update with every happened message-event.</p>

	<p><b>8. Commit-option to define a auto-commitment</b></p>
	<p>- <b>COMMIT_OPTION</b>		: define whether updated messages should be committed to the database (Y) or not (N).</p>
	<p>The default is commit=Y.</p>
</dir>

<p><b>The sequence of some options is important :</b></p>
<dir>
	<p><b>1. Connector-option OR/AND Database-options</b></p>
	<p>Any database connection is required !</p>
	<p><b>2. (Table-option AND Columns-option) OR SQL-option</b></p>
	<p>Anything of that is required ! Whether where to write something OR what to write somewhere...;-)</p>
	<p><b>3. All other options can be set at any time...</b></p>
	<p>The other options are optional and have a default initialization, which can be customized.</p>
</dir>

<p><b>Here is a <b>configuration-file example</b>, which can be used as argument for the <b>PropertyConfigurator</b> : </b><A HREF="configfile_example.txt"> configfile_example.txt</A></p>

<p><b>Here is a <b>code-example</b> to configure the JDBCAppender <b>with a configuration-file</b> : </b><A HREF="code_example1.java"> code_example1.java</A></p>

<p><b>Here is a <b>another code-example</b> to configure the JDBCAppender <b>without a configuration-file</b> : </b><A HREF="code_example2.java"> code_example2.java</A></p>
