Allow for custom sql queries with RecordDB #9

Closed nickgrasley closed 5 years ago

Currently, RecordDB assumes that all of the necessary record info is in one table. However, this is unlikely to hold for a relational database and would force users to build a single table with all of the record data. The current query should be the default, but there should be an option to change the query if necessary. I don't think a programmatic way of creating the query will be useful, as opposed to blocking.

I've added an extra_joins attribute that allows the user to specify joins to other tables.
