/**

 * @param string $query SQL query
 * @param array $data Dynamic data from data objects like e.g. acRow
 * @param array $static_data Optional array with further static data like table or database names
 */
public function query($query, $data = array(), $static_data = array()) {
	$this->queryReplacementData = is_array($static_data) ? array_merge($data, $static_data) : $data;
	$final_query = preg_replace_callback("/\{(s|S|d|f):([a-z0-9_]+)\}/i", array(&$this, 'queryReplacementCallback'), $query, -1, $count);
	$this->log("Replaced ".$count." parameters in query ".$query, 'system');

	return $this->rawQuery($final_query);
}

If we make the type prefix optional the default case could be used very simple

Example:
$sql = query(SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE username={s:name} AND email={s:email}, array('name' => 'My name', 'email' => 'example@test.com'));

Possible improvement could be to pass tablenames etc without having to merge arrays of data params with database information params.
Do we need a data type for date, time and datetime?
Is a special flag for database fields that are set to 'not null' usefull (auto conversion to 0 or empty string)?

Could be done with preg_replace_callback(). Would result in a much nicer code

Nw version done with preg_replace_callback()
