NAME
       Mail::SpamAssassin::BayesStore::SQL - SQL Bayesian Storage Module Implementation

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
       This module implementes a SQL based bayesian storage module.

METHODS

       public class (Mail::SpamAssassin::BayesStore::SQL) new (Mail::Spamassassin::Plugin::Bayes $bayes)

       Description: This methods creates a new instance of the Mail::SpamAssassin::BayesStore::SQL object.  It expects to be
       passed an instance of the Mail::SpamAssassin:Bayes object which is passed into the Mail::SpamAssassin::BayesStore parent
       object.

       This method sets up the database connection and determines the username to use in queries.

       public instance (Boolean) tie_db_readonly ();

       Description: This method ensures that the database connection is properly setup and working.  If necessary it will
       initialize a user's bayes variables so that they can begin using the database immediately.

   tie_db_writable
       public instance (Boolean) tie_db_writable ()

       Description: This method ensures that the database connection is properly setup and working. If necessary it will
       initialize a users bayes variables so that they can begin using the database immediately.

       We should never be touching more than N_SIGNIFICANT_TOKENS, so we can make some assumptions about how to handle the data
       (ie no need to batch like we do in tok_get_all)

       Description: This method performs the work of either inserting or updating a token in the database.

   _put_tokens
       private instance (Boolean) _put_tokens (\% $tokens,
