That's the beauty of overloading. Remember that Zend DB stuff I was
talking about before? Using that, you can just as easily query with
SQL directly. $db->fetchAll('select whatever') works just as well
there too. The API functionality is meant to add to the base, not take
away from it. Sometimes it's better to build a query dynamically, in
parts. Sometimes, it's not.
