#  Utility support class for use when implementing a persistent
#  Property class.  The methods include those that are likely to need
#  overriding, depending on the specifics of the underlying database.
#  The versions provided here are known to work the PostgreSQL versions
#  9.6+. <i>This class may need to be overridden to support other
#  SQL databases.</i>
#</p>
class PropertyUtil: Object(pdbTableName, dbu)

   #<p>
   #  Produce a table of the fields in the table.
   #  <i>May need overriding.</i>
   #  Generally, there are just two fields: the <tt>propertyname</tt> and
   #  the <tt>propertyvalue</tt>.  The propertyname can be assumed to be
   #  less than 256 characters (because no sane person would want
   #  to use a longer one!) but the propertyvalue should support
   #  arbitrary-length text since it's going to hold the JSON
   #  encoding of an arbitrary Unicon entity.  For PostgreSQL
   #  this means using TEXT datatype.  Other DBs might need
   #  some other datatype.
   #  <[return table containing propertyname and propertynalue descriptions]>
