/// The queries used with this class do not retrieve IPv6 reservations or
/// options associated with a host to minimize impact on performance. Other
/// classes derived from @ref MySqlHostExchange should be used to retrieve
/// information about IPv6 reservations and options.
///
/// Database schema contains several unique indexes to guard against adding
/// multiple hosts for the same client identifier in a single subnet and for
/// adding multiple hosts with a reservation for the same IPv4 address in a
/// single subnet. The exceptions that have to be taken into account are
/// listed below:
/// - zero or null IPv4 address indicates that there is no reservation for the
///   IPv4 address for the host,
/// - zero or null subnet identifier (either IPv4 or IPv6) indicates that
///   this subnet identifier must be ignored. Specifically, this is the case
///   when host reservation is for the DHCPv4 server, the IPv6 subnet id should
///   be ignored. Conversely, when host reservation is created for the DHCPv6 server,
///   the IPv4 subnet id should be ignored.
///
/// To exclude those special case values from the unique indexes, the MySQL
/// backend relies on the property of the unique indexes in MySQL, i.e. null
/// values are excluded from unique indexes. That means that there might be
/// multiple null values in a given column on which unique index is applied.
/// Therefore, the MySQL backend converts subnet identifiers and IPv4 addresses
/// of 0 to null before inserting a host to the database.
