	 *
	 *
	 * @param string|array $table
	 *
	 * May be either an array of table names, or a single string holding a table
	 * name. If an array is given, table aliases can be specified, for example:
	 *
	 *    array( 'a' => 'user' )
	 *
	 * This includes the user table in the query, with the alias "a" available
	 * for use in field names (e.g. a.user_name).
	 *
	 * All of the table names given here are automatically run through
	 * DatabaseBase::tableName(), which causes the table prefix (if any) to be
	 * added, and various other table name mappings to be performed.
	 *
	 *
	 * @param string|array $vars
	 *
	 * May be either a field name or an array of field names. The field names
	 * can be complete fragments of SQL, for direct inclusion into the SELECT
	 * query. If an array is given, field aliases can be specified, for example:
	 *
	 *   array( 'maxrev' => 'MAX(rev_id)' )
	 *
	 * This includes an expression with the alias "maxrev" in the query.
	 *
	 * If an expression is given, care must be taken to ensure that it is
	 * DBMS-independent.
	 *
	 *
	 * @param string|array $conds
	 *
	 * May be either a string containing a single condition, or an array of
	 * conditions. If an array is given, the conditions constructed from each
	 * element are combined with AND.
	 *
	 * Array elements may take one of two forms:
	 *
	 *   - Elements with a numeric key are interpreted as raw SQL fragments.
	 *   - Elements with a string key are interpreted as equality conditions,
	 *     where the key is the field name.
	 *     - If the value of such an array element is a scalar (such as a
	 *       string), it will be treated as data and thus quoted appropriately.
	 *       If it is null, an IS NULL clause will be added.
	 *     - If the value is an array, an IN (...) clause will be constructed
	 *       from its non-null elements, and an IS NULL clause will be added
	 *       if null is present, such that the field may match any of the
	 *       elements in the array. The non-null elements will be quoted.
	 *
	 * Note that expressions are often DBMS-dependent in their syntax.
	 * DBMS-independent wrappers are provided for constructing several types of
	 * expression commonly used in condition queries. See:
	 *    - DatabaseBase::buildLike()
	 *    - DatabaseBase::conditional()
	 *
	 *
	 * @param string|array $options
	 *
	 * Optional: Array of query options. Boolean options are specified by
	 * including them in the array as a string value with a numeric key, for
	 * example:
	 *
	 *    array( 'FOR UPDATE' )
	 *
	 * The supported options are:
	 *
	 *   - OFFSET: Skip this many rows at the start of the result set. OFFSET
	 *     with LIMIT can theoretically be used for paging through a result set,
	 *     but this is discouraged in MediaWiki for performance reasons.
	 *
	 *   - LIMIT: Integer: return at most this many rows. The rows are sorted
	 *     and then the first rows are taken until the limit is reached. LIMIT
	 *     is applied to a result set after OFFSET.
	 *
	 *   - FOR UPDATE: Boolean: lock the returned rows so that they can't be
	 *     changed until the next COMMIT.
	 *
	 *   - DISTINCT: Boolean: return only unique result rows.
	 *
	 *   - GROUP BY: May be either an SQL fragment string naming a field or
	 *     expression to group by, or an array of such SQL fragments.
	 *
	 *   - HAVING: May be either an string containing a HAVING clause or an array of
	 *     conditions building the HAVING clause. If an array is given, the conditions
	 *     constructed from each element are combined with AND.
	 *
	 *   - ORDER BY: May be either an SQL fragment giving a field name or
	 *     expression to order by, or an array of such SQL fragments.
	 *
	 *   - USE INDEX: This may be either a string giving the index name to use
	 *     for the query, or an array. If it is an associative array, each key
	 *     gives the table name (or alias), each value gives the index name to
	 *     use for that table. All strings are SQL fragments and so should be
	 *     validated by the caller.
	 *
	 *   - EXPLAIN: In MySQL, this causes an EXPLAIN SELECT query to be run,
	 *     instead of SELECT.
	 *
	 * And also the following boolean MySQL extensions, see the MySQL manual
	 * for documentation:
	 *
	 *    - LOCK IN SHARE MODE
	 *    - STRAIGHT_JOIN
	 *    - HIGH_PRIORITY
	 *    - SQL_BIG_RESULT
