#  Provide an API for storing and retreving properties from an SQL
#    database via ODBC.  Uses methods in the <tt>PropertyUtil</tt>
#    class (or a subclass) to obtain SQL statements for accessing
#    the table. The methods in <tt>PropertyUtil</tt> class itself
#    are known to work with PostgreSQL 9.6+ but some may need to be
#    overridden for other SQL database implementations.
#    <i>Normally, this class is used internally with Property database
#    access gained through the <tt>Property</tt> class.</i>
