    db_search class can be scaled for any database system you might have.

    By : smckone

    //============================================
    // NEWS
    **future updates**
    1) porting to other databases like postgreSQL and MSSQL
    2) function to tie searches together (may be a diffrent script)

    void = connect(void);

    // note the column can be an array when the table is a string
    // this allows for searchs of more than one column in a table
    // seting the column name to ALL_COLUMNS will make the script
    // search all the columns of that table (if sensitive information
    // is in that table do not do this).
