function get_global_database_handler

6.x db.inc get_global_database_handler()
4.x misc.inc get_global_database_handler()
5.x misc.inc get_global_database_handler()

This method will return a globally-set DatabaseHandler object, creating it if it does not already exist. This is for efficiency reasons, so every module or method does not need to keep creating databasehandler objects (and re-connecting to the database).
