Since single-row queries are performed rapid-fire during certain actions like
stepping through the symbol browser, there is high value in caching them for
a small amount of time. The default cache parameters will keep results for

on most user interactions.

Includes:
- nanodbc wrapper
- database schematic library plugin
- basic tests
