Merge lp:~qqworini/ubuntu-rssreader-app/database_v1 into lp:~ubuntu-shorts-dev/ubuntu-rssreader-app/trunk

[Joey Chan]

first complete version of database, feel free to find bugs or help us to improve it :)

some functions seems not perfect enough, we should discuss them some time.

Very good work, Joey! I have very hot time - making my graduate project, so I will active participate in development after final or stable design guides! ;)

I think that we shouldn't use separate table for settings because of QSettings.
Maybe Guys from Toolkit team will provide its functionality in QML?

And only for Joey - I agree with your advice (using object instead of variable args), but why you are not used this technique in function
function addArticle(title, link, description, pubdate, guid, feed_id)
with huge amout of args? :)
Mb better will be
function addArticle(title, articleObj)

1. of course qsetting is better, setting table will be replaced if qsetting port to qml;
2. using object instead of variable args, this is a solution for function overload or unknown args' length, in function "addArticle", all args are fixed, no need to use obj;
besides, you can find many "update" functions for every table, like feed and article, I've tried to use obj to make those functions overload, but later I found this is not optimised, because some functions like "updateArticleStatus", it's much high frequency use than other functions. So finally I decided to separate them instead of "overload" them
