Note: This function has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release!
dbSendUpdate is used to send a data-altering statement to a MonetDB database,
e.g. CREATE TABLE or INSERT. As a convenience feature, a placeholder
(? character) can be used in the SQL statement, and bound to parameters given
in the varargs group before execution. This is especially useful when scripting
database updates, since the parameters will be automatically quoted.
The dbSendUpdateAsync function is used when the database update is called from
finalizers, to avoid very esoteric concurrency problems. Here, the update is not guaranteed
to be immediately run. Also, the method returns immediately.
