         *
         *
         * @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:
         *
         *    [ '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
         * Database::tableName(), which causes the table prefix (if any) to be
         * added, and various other table name mappings to be performed.
         *
         * Do not use untrusted user input as a table name. Alias names should
         * not have characters outside of the Basic multilingual plane.
         *
         * @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:
         *
         *   [ '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.
         *
         * Untrusted user input must not be passed to this parameter.
         *
         * @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:
         *    - IDatabase::buildLike()
         *    - IDatabase::conditional()
         *
         * Untrusted user input is safe in the values of string keys, however untrusted
         * input must not be used in the array key names or in the values of numeric keys.
         * Escaping of untrusted input used in values of numeric keys should be done via
         * IDatabase::addQuotes()
         *
         * @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:
         *
         *    [ '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 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
         *    - SQL_BUFFER_RESULT
         *    - SQL_SMALL_RESULT
         *    - SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS
         *    - SQL_CACHE
         *    - SQL_NO_CACHE
         *
         *
         * @param string|array $join_conds
         *
         * Optional associative array of table-specific join conditions. In the
         * most common case, this is unnecessary, since the join condition can be
         * in $conds. However, it is useful for doing a LEFT JOIN.
         *
         * The key of the array contains the table name or alias. The value is an
         * array with two elements, numbered 0 and 1. The first gives the type of
         * join, the second is the same as the $conds parameter. Thus it can be
         * an SQL fragment, or an array where the string keys are equality and the
         * numeric keys are SQL fragments all AND'd together. For example:
         *
         *    [ 'page' => [ 'LEFT JOIN', 'page_latest=rev_id' ] ]
         *
         * @return ResultWrapper|bool If the query returned no rows, a ResultWrapper
         *   with no rows in it will be returned. If there was a query error, a
         *   DBQueryError exception will be thrown, except if the "ignore errors"
         *   option was set, in which case false will be returned.
