#   The doc strings throughout this module explain what API *guarantees*
# kinterbasdb makes.
#   Notably, the fact that users can only rely on the return values of certain
# functions/methods to be sequences or mappings, not instances of a specific
# class.  This policy is still compliant with the DB API spec, and is more
# future-proof than implying that all of the classes defined herein can be
# relied upon not to change.  Module members whose names begin with an
# underscore cannot be expected to have stable interfaces.

          Note that this method is a VERY THIN wrapper around the IB C API
        function isc_database_info.  This method does NOT attempt to interpret

        integer.

          For example, requesting isc_info_user_names will return a string
        containing a raw succession of length-name pairs.  A thicker wrapper
        might interpret those raw results and return a Python tuple, but it
        would need to handle a multitude of special cases in order to cover
        all possible isc_info_* items.
