//! # Passing parameters to statement
//!
//! ## In a nutshell
//!
//! * `()` -> No parameter
//! * `&a` -> Single input parameter
//! * `InOut(&mut a)` -> Input Output parameter
//! * `Out(&mut a)` -> Output parameter
//! * `(a,b,c)` -> Fixed number of parameters
//! * `&[a]` -> Arbitrary number of parameters
//! * `&mut BlobParam` -> Stream long input parameters.
//! * `Box<dyn InputParameter>` -> Arbitrary input parameter
//! * `&[Box<dyn InputParameter>]` -> Arbitrary number of arbitrary input parameters
//! * `a.into_parameter()` -> Convert idiomatic Rust type into something bindable by ODBC.
//!
//! ## Passing a single parameter
//!
//! ODBC allows you to bind parameters to positional placeholders. In the simples case it looks like
//! this:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use odbc_api::{Environment, ConnectionOptions};
//!
//! let env = Environment::new()?;
//!
//! let mut conn = env.connect(
//!     "YourDatabase", "SA", "My@Test@Password1",
//!     ConnectionOptions::default()
//! )?;
//! let query = "SELECT year, name FROM Birthdays WHERE year > ?;";
//! let year = 1980;
//! let timeout_sec = None;
//! if let Some(cursor) = conn.execute(query, &year, timeout_sec)? {
//!     // Use cursor to process query results.
//! }
//! # Ok::<(), odbc_api::Error>(())
//! ```
//!
//! Please see the documentation of [`InputParameter`] for a list of types that can be bound to a
//! placeholder.
//!
//! ## Annotating a parameter with an explicit SQL DataType
//!
//! In the last example we used a bit of domain knowledge about the query and provided it with an
//! `i32`. Each `Parameter` type comes with a default SQL Type as which it is bound. In the last
//! example this spared us from specifing that we bind `year` as an SQL `INTEGER` (because `INTEGER`
//! is default for `i32`). If we want to, we can specify the SQL type independent from the Rust type
//! we are binding, by wrapping it in `WithDataType`.
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use odbc_api::{Environment, ConnectionOptions, DataType, parameter::WithDataType};
//! use std::num::NonZeroUsize;
//!
//! let env = Environment::new()?;
//!
//! let mut conn = env.connect(
//!     "YourDatabase", "SA", "My@Test@Password1",
//!     ConnectionOptions::default()
//! )?;
//! let query = "SELECT year, name FROM Birthdays WHERE year > ?;";
//! let year = WithDataType{
//!    value: 1980,
//!    data_type: DataType::Varchar {length: NonZeroUsize::new(4) }
//! };
//! let timeout_sec = None;
//! if let Some(cursor) = conn.execute(query, &year, timeout_sec)? {
//!     // Use cursor to process query results.
//! }
//! # Ok::<(), odbc_api::Error>(())
//! ```
//!
//! In that case it is likely that the driver manager converts our annotated year into a string
//! which is most likely being converted back into an integer by the driver. All this converting can
//! be confusing, but it is helpful if we do not know what types the parameters actually have (i.e.
//! the query could have been entered by the user on the command line.). There is also an option to
//! query the parameter types beforehand, but my advice is not trust the information blindly if you
//! cannot test this with your driver beforehand.
//!
//! ## Passing a fixed number of parameters
//!
//! To pass multiple but a fixed number of parameters to a query you can use tuples.
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use odbc_api::{Environment, ConnectionOptions};
//!
//! let env = Environment::new()?;
//!
//! let mut conn = env.connect(
//!     "YourDatabase", "SA", "My@Test@Password1",
//!     ConnectionOptions::default()
//! )?;
//! let too_old = 1980;
//! let too_young = 2000;
//! let timeout_sec = None;
//! if let Some(cursor) = conn.execute(
//!     "SELECT year, name FROM Birthdays WHERE ? < year < ?;",
//!     (&too_old, &too_young),
//!     timeout_sec,
//! )? {
//!     // Use cursor to congratulate only persons in the right age group...
//! }
//! # Ok::<(), odbc_api::Error>(())
//! ```
//!
//! ## Passing an arbitrary number of parameters
//!
//! Not always do we know the number of required parameters at compile time. This might be the case
//! if the query itself is generated from user input. Luckily slices of parameters are supported,
//! too.
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use odbc_api::{Environment, ConnectionOptions};
//!
//! let env = Environment::new()?;
//!
//! let mut conn = env.connect(
//!     "YourDatabase", "SA", "My@Test@Password1",
//!     ConnectionOptions::default()
//! )?;
//! let query = "SELECT year, name FROM Birthdays WHERE ? < year < ?;";
//! let params = [1980, 2000];
//! let timeout_sec = None;
//! if let Some(cursor) = conn.execute(query, &params[..], timeout_sec)?
//! {
//!     // Use cursor to process query results.
//! }
//! # Ok::<(), odbc_api::Error>(())
//! ```
//!
//! ## Passing an input parameters parsed from the command line
//!
//! In case you want to read parameters from the command line you can also let ODBC do the work of
//! converting the text input into something more suitable.
//!
//! ```
//! use odbc_api::{Connection, IntoParameter, Error, parameter::VarCharSlice};
//!
//! fn execute_arbitrary_command(connection: &Connection, query: &str, parameters: &[&str])
//!     -> Result<(), Error>
//! {
//!     // Convert all strings to `VarCharSlice` and bind them as `VarChar`. Let ODBC convert them
//!     // into something better matching the types required be the query.
//!     let params: Vec<_> = parameters
//!         .iter()
//!         .map(|param| param.into_parameter())
//!         .collect();
//!
//!     let timeout_sec = None;
//!     // Execute the query as a one off, and pass the parameters. String parameters are parsed and
//!     // converted into something more suitable by the data source itself.
//!     connection.execute(&query, params.as_slice(), timeout_sec)?;
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Should you have more type information the type available, but only at runtime can also bind an
//! array of `[Box<dyn InputParameter]`.
//!
//! ## Output and Input/Output parameters
//!
//! Mutable references are treated as input/output parameters. To use a parameter purely as an
//! output parameter you may wrap it into out. Consider a Mircosoft SQL Server with the following
//! stored procedure:
//!
//! ```mssql
//! CREATE PROCEDURE TestParam
//! @OutParm int OUTPUT
//! AS
//! SELECT @OutParm = @OutParm + 5
//! RETURN 99
//! GO
//! ```
//!
//! We bind the return value as the first output parameter. The second parameter is an input/output
//! bound as a mutable reference.
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use odbc_api::{Environment, ConnectionOptions, Out, InOut, Nullable};
//!
//! let env = Environment::new()?;
//!
//! let mut conn = env.connect(
//!     "YourDatabase", "SA", "My@Test@Password1",
//!     ConnectionOptions::default()
//! )?;
//!
//! let mut ret = Nullable::<i32>::null();
//! let mut param = Nullable::<i32>::new(7);
//!
//! conn.execute(
//!     "{? = call TestParam(?)}",
//!     (Out(&mut ret), InOut(&mut param)),
//!     None)?;
//!
//! assert_eq!(Some(99), ret.into_opt());
//! assert_eq!(Some(7 + 5), param.into_opt());
//!
//! # Ok::<(), odbc_api::Error>(())
//! ```
//!
//! ## Sending long data
//!
//! Many ODBC drivers have size limits of how big parameters can be. Apart from that you may not
//! want to allocate really large buffers in your application in order to keep a small memory
//! footprint. Luckily ODBC also supports streaming data to the database batch by batch at statement
//! execution time. To support this, this crate offers the [`BlobParam`], which can be bound as a
//! mutable reference. An instance of [`BlobParam`] is usually created by calling
//! [`Blob::as_blob_param`] from a wrapper implenting [`Blob`].
//!
//! ### Inserting long binary data from a file.
//!
//! [`BlobRead::from_path`] is the most convinient way to turn a file path into a [`Blob`]
//! parameter. The following example also demonstrates that the streamed blob parameter can be
//! combined with regular input parmeters like `id`.
//!
//! ```
//! use std::{error::Error, path::Path};
//! use odbc_api::{Connection, parameter::{Blob, BlobRead}, IntoParameter};
//!
//! fn insert_image_to_db(
//!     conn: &Connection<'_>,
//!     id: &str,
//!     image_path: &Path) -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>>
//! {
//!     let mut blob = BlobRead::from_path(&image_path)?;
//!
//!     let sql = "INSERT INTO Images (id, image_data) VALUES (?, ?)";
//!     let parameters = (&id.into_parameter(), &mut blob.as_blob_param());
//!     conn.execute(sql, parameters, None)?;
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Inserting long binary data from any `io::BufRead`.
//!
//! This is more flexible than inserting just from files. Note however that files provide metadata
//! about the length of the data, which `io::BufRead` does not. This is not an issue for most
//! drivers, but some can perform optimization if they know the size in advance. In the tests
//! SQLite has shown a bug to only insert empty data if no size hint has been provided.
//!
//! ```
//! use std::io::BufRead;
//! use odbc_api::{Connection, parameter::{Blob, BlobRead}, IntoParameter, Error};
//!
//! fn insert_image_to_db(
//!     conn: &Connection<'_>,
//!     id: &str,
//!     image_data: impl BufRead + Send) -> Result<(), Error>
//! {
//!     const MAX_IMAGE_SIZE: usize = 4 * 1024 * 1024;
//!     let mut blob = BlobRead::with_upper_bound(image_data, MAX_IMAGE_SIZE);
//!
//!     let sql = "INSERT INTO Images (id, image_data) VALUES (?, ?)";
//!     let parameters = (&id.into_parameter(), &mut blob.as_blob_param());
//!     conn.execute(sql, parameters, None)?;
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Inserting long strings
//!
//! This example insert `title` as a normal input parameter but streams the potentially much longer
//! `String` in `text` to the database as a large text blob. This allows to circumvent the size
//! restrictions for `String` arguments of many drivers (usually around 4 or 8 KiB).
//!
//! ```
//! use odbc_api::{Connection, parameter::{Blob, BlobSlice}, IntoParameter, Error};
//!
//! fn insert_book(
//!     conn: &Connection<'_>,
//!     title: &str,
//!     text: &str
//! ) -> Result<(), Error>
//! {
//!     let mut blob = BlobSlice::from_text(text);
//!
//!     let insert = "INSERT INTO Books (title, text) VALUES (?,?)";
//!     let parameters = (&title.into_parameter(), &mut blob.as_blob_param());
//!     conn.execute(&insert, parameters, None)?;
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Inserting long binary data from `&[u8]`.
//!
//! ```
//! use odbc_api::{Connection, parameter::{Blob, BlobSlice}, IntoParameter, Error};
//!
//! fn insert_image(
//!     conn: &Connection<'_>,
//!     id: &str,
//!     image_data: &[u8]
//! ) -> Result<(), Error>
//! {
//!     let mut blob = BlobSlice::from_byte_slice(image_data);
//!
//!     let insert = "INSERT INTO Images (id, image_data) VALUES (?,?)";
//!     let parameters = (&id.into_parameter(), &mut blob.as_blob_param());
//!     conn.execute(&insert, parameters, None)?;
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Passing the type you absolutely think should work, but does not.
//!
//! Sadly not every type can be safely bound as something the ODBC C-API understands. Most prominent
//! among those is a Rust string slice (`&str`).
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use odbc_api::{Environment, ConnectionOptions};
//!
//! let env = Environment::new()?;
//!
//! let mut conn = env.connect(
//!     "YourDatabase", "SA", "My@Test@Password1",
//!     ConnectionOptions::default()
//! )?;
//! // conn.execute("SELECT year FROM Birthdays WHERE name=?;", "Bernd")?; // <- compiler error.
//! # Ok::<(), odbc_api::Error>(())
//! ```
//!
//! Alas, not all is lost. We can still make use of the [`crate::IntoParameter`] trait to convert it
//! into something that works.
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use odbc_api::{Environment, IntoParameter, ConnectionOptions};
//!
//! let env = Environment::new()?;
//!
//! let mut conn = env.connect(
//!     "YourDatabase", "SA", "My@Test@Password1",
//!     ConnectionOptions::default()
//! )?;
//! if let Some(cursor) = conn.execute(
//!     "SELECT year FROM Birthdays WHERE name=?;",
//!     &"Bernd".into_parameter(),
//!     None)?
//! {
//!     // Use cursor to process query results.
//! };
//! # Ok::<(), odbc_api::Error>(())
//! ```
//!
//! Conversion for `&str` is not too expensive either. Just an integer more on the stack. Wait, the
//! type you wanted to use, but that I have conveniently not chosen in this example still does not
//! work? Well, in that case please open an issue or a pull request. [`crate::IntoParameter`] can
//! usually be implemented entirely in safe code, and is a suitable spot to enable support for your
//! custom types.
