/**
 * Code for loading and saving question attempts to and from the database.
 *
 * A note for future reference. This code is pretty efficient but there are two
 * potential optimisations that could be contemplated, at the cost of making the
 * code more complex:
 *
 * 1. (This is the easier one, but probably not worth doing.) In the unit-of-work
 *    save method, we could get all the ids for steps due to be deleted or modified,
 *    and delete all the question_attempt_step_data for all of those steps in one
 *    query. That would save one DB query for each ->stepsupdated. However that number
 *    is 0 except when re-grading, and when regrading, there are many more inserts
 *    into question_attempt_step_data than deletes, so it is really hardly worth it.
 *
 * 2. A more significant optimisation would be to write an efficient
 *    $DB->insert_records($arrayofrecords) method (for example using functions
 *    like pg_copy_from) and then whenever we save stuff (unit_of_work->save and
 *    insert_questions_usage_by_activity) collect together all the records that
 *    need to be inserted into question_attempt_step_data, and insert them with
 *    a single call to $DB->insert_records. This is likely to be the biggest win.
 *    We do a lot of separate inserts into question_attempt_step_data.
