lmbSelectQuery allows to partially encapsulate SQL SELECT query. lmbSelectQuery accepts a text template of Select SQL that can be extended. This template SQL must contain several special placeholders where extensions can be inserted into, e.g.: %fields% or %where%. That's why it's more corrent to call lmbSelectQuery as TemplateSelectQuery(on the TODO list).

Here is the list of supported placeholders:

• %fields% - extra fields.
• %tables% - extra tables.
• %left_join% - extra joins.
• %where% - extra conditions.
• %group% - extra group by fields.
• %having% - extra grouping conditions.
• %order% - extra order fields.
