that can be used to build a database, and to build the database using the SQL array.

__construct( $db )   X-Ref
Creates an adoSchema object

Creating an adoSchema object is the first step in processing an XML schema.
The only parameter is an ADOdb database connection object, which must already
have been created.

SetUpgradeMethod( $method = '' )   X-Ref
Sets the method to be used for upgrading an existing database

Use this method to specify how existing database objects should be upgraded.
The method option can be set to ALTER, REPLACE, BEST, or NONE. ALTER attempts to
alter each database object directly, REPLACE attempts to rebuild each object
from scratch, BEST attempts to determine the best upgrade method for each
object, and NONE disables upgrading.

This method is not yet used by AXMLS, but exists for backward compatibility.
The ALTER method is automatically assumed when the adoSchema object is
instantiated; other upgrade methods are not currently supported.

param: string $method Upgrade method (ALTER|REPLACE|BEST|NONE)
returns: string Upgrade method used

ExecuteInline( $mode = NULL )   X-Ref
Enables/disables inline SQL execution.

Call this method to enable or disable inline execution of the schema. If the mode is set to TRUE (inline execution),
AXMLS applies the SQL to the database immediately as each schema entity is parsed. If the mode
is set to FALSE (post execution), AXMLS parses the entire schema and you will need to call adoSchema::ExecuteSchema()
to apply the schema to the database.

param: bool $mode execute
return: bool current execution mode

ContinueOnError( $mode = NULL )   X-Ref
Enables/disables SQL continue on error.

Call this method to enable or disable continuation of SQL execution if an error occurs.
If the mode is set to TRUE (continue), AXMLS will continue to apply SQL to the database, even if an error occurs.
If the mode is set to FALSE (halt), AXMLS will halt execution of generated sql if an error occurs, though parsing
of the schema will continue.

param: bool $mode execute
return: bool current continueOnError mode

ParseSchema( $filename, $returnSchema = FALSE )   X-Ref

Call this method to load the specified schema (see the DTD for the proper format) from
the filesystem and generate the SQL necessary to create the database described.

and generate the SQL necessary to create the database described by the schema.

param: string $file Name of XML schema file.
param: bool $returnSchema Return schema rather than parsing.
return: array Array of SQL queries, ready to execute.

ParseSchemaString( $xmlstring, $returnSchema = FALSE )   X-Ref

and generate the SQL necessary to create the database described by the schema.
param: string $xmlstring XML schema string.
param: bool $returnSchema Return schema rather than parsing.
return: array Array of SQL queries, ready to execute.

RemoveSchema( $filename, $returnSchema = FALSE )   X-Ref
Loads an XML schema from a file and converts it to uninstallation SQL.

Call this method to load the specified schema (see the DTD for the proper format) from
the filesystem and generate the SQL necessary to remove the database described.
param: string $file Name of XML schema file.
param: bool $returnSchema Return schema rather than parsing.
return: array Array of SQL queries, ready to execute

RemoveSchemaString( $schema, $returnSchema = FALSE )   X-Ref
Converts an XML schema string to uninstallation SQL.

Call this method to parse a string containing an XML schema (see the DTD for the proper format)
and generate the SQL necessary to uninstall the database described by the schema.
param: string $schema XML schema string.
param: bool $returnSchema Return schema rather than parsing.
return: array Array of SQL queries, ready to execute.

ExecuteSchema( $sqlArray = NULL, $continueOnErr = NULL )   X-Ref
Applies the current XML schema to the database (post execution).

Call this method to apply the current schema (generally created by calling
ParseSchema() or ParseSchemaString() ) to the database (creating the tables, indexes,
and executing other SQL specified in the schema) after parsing.
param: array $sqlArray Array of SQL statements that will be applied rather than
param: boolean $continueOnErr Continue to apply the schema even if an error occurs.
returns: integer 0 if failure, 1 if errors, 2 if successful.

PrintSQL( $format = 'NONE' )   X-Ref
Returns the current SQL array.

Call this method to fetch the array of SQL queries resulting from
ParseSchema() or ParseSchemaString().

param: string $format Format: HTML, TEXT, or NONE (PHP array)

DTD version. For instance, to convert a schema created for an pre-1.0 version for
AXMLS (DTD version 0.1) to a newer version of the DTD (e.g. 0.2). If no DTD version
