This module provides the functionality to create the temporal
SQL database and to establish a connection to the database.

Usage:

.. code-block:: python

    >>> import grass.temporal as tgis
    >>> # Create the temporal database
    >>> tgis.init()
    >>> # Establish a database connection
    >>> dbif, connected = tgis.init_dbif(None)
    >>> dbif.connect()
    >>> # Execute a SQL statement
    >>> dbif.execute_transaction("SELECT datetime(0, 'unixepoch', 'localtime');")
    >>> # Mogrify an SQL statement
    >>> dbif.mogrify_sql_statement(["SELECT name from raster_base where name = ?",
    ... ("precipitation",)])
    "SELECT name from raster_base where name = 'precipitation'"
    >>> dbif.close()
