/// Efficiently pull data directly out of a table.
/** A tablereader provides efficient read access to a database table.  This is
 * not as flexible as a normal query using the result class however:
 * <ul>
 * <li> Can only dump tables, not views or arbitrary queries
 * <li> Has no knowledge of metadata
 * <li> Is unable to reorder, rename, omit or enrich fields
 * <li> Does not support filtering of records
 * </ul>
 *
 * On the other hand, it can read rows of data and transform them into any
 * container or container-like object that supports STL back-inserters.  Since
 * the tablereader has no knowledge of the types of data expected, it treats
 * all fields as strings.
