% EXECUTEQUERY query a LTPDA repository database.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% DESCRIPTION: EXECUTEQUERY query a LTPDA repository database.
%
% CALL:        info = executeQuery(pl);
%              info = executeQuery(query);
%              info = executeQuery(table, query);
%              info = executeQuery(query, hostname, database, username);
%              info = executeQuery(table, query, hostname, database, username);
%
% INPUTS:      pl       - a PLIST object.
%              query    - a valid MySQL query string
%              table    - a table name
%              hostname - hostname of the LTPDA database
%              database - LTPDA database
%              username - user name
%
% OUTPUTS:     info - the returned 'info' structure contains the fields
%              from each matching record.
%
% REMARK:      If you don't specify a hostname, database and user name then
%              do this method the following:
%              The repository manager have the following numer of connections:
%                 0:  A GUI will open for creating a new connection.
%                 1:  The method will use this connection.
%                >1:  A GUI will open where you have to select a connection
%
% EXAMPLES:
%
%   >> info  = LTPDARepositoryManager.executeQuery('select * from objmeta where id>1000 and id<2000');
%   >> info  = LTPDARepositoryManager.executeQuery('ao',           'id>1000 and id<2000');
%   >> info  = LTPDARepositoryManager.executeQuery('objmeta',      'name like "x12"');
%   >> info  = LTPDARepositoryManager.executeQuery('users',        'username="aouser"');
%   >> info  = LTPDARepositoryManager.executeQuery('collections',  'id=3');
%   >> info  = LTPDARepositoryManager.executeQuery('collections',  'obj_id="1,2"');
%   >> info  = LTPDARepositoryManager.executeQuery('transactions', 'user_id=3');
%   >> info  = LTPDARepositoryManager.executeQuery('transactions', 'obj_id=56');
%
%   The 'info' cell-array will contain the results from the SQL query.
