     'dbSendQuery' is a generic function that, when called on a valid
     connection object, pastes is argments into a query string and
     submits it to the database backend for processing.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     dbSendQuery(conn, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

    conn: A database connection object.

     ...: Arguments that when pasted together form a query string.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Sub-classed 'dbSendQuery' methods should not fail unless the
     connection is not valid, in which case an error message should be
     printed.  Information about the query result status can be
     obtained by dereferencing the returned result object.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A result object inheriting from "Rdbi.result".  You can arrange
     for the result buffer to be cleared when the result object is
     garbage collected by registering a finalizer function.  See the C
     code in Rdbi.PgSQL.
