michael@0 10 * An asynchronous SQL statement. This differs from mozIStorageStatement by
michael@0 11 * only being usable for asynchronous execution. (mozIStorageStatement can
michael@0 12 * be used for both synchronous and asynchronous purposes.) This specialization
michael@0 13 * for asynchronous operation allows us to avoid needing to acquire
michael@0 14 * synchronization primitives also used by the asynchronous execution thread.
michael@0 15 * In contrast, mozIStorageStatement may need to acquire the primitives and
michael@0 16 * consequently can cause the main thread to lock for extended intervals while
michael@0 17 * the asynchronous thread performs some long-running operation.

michael@0 22 * 'params' provides a magic JS helper that lets you assign parameters by

michael@0 26 * This does not work for BLOBs. You must use an explicit binding API for
