Module database 

Low-level MSI database access and row loading.

This module is the only place that talks directly to the Windows Installer C API. It owns the handle lifecycle, the query/view execution flow, and the strict UTF-16 conversion used for MSI string fields.

Two implementation details are worth keeping visible here:

• MSI string extraction uses a probe call first, so the real buffer can be sized from the length reported by the API.
• MsiRecordIsNull is treated differently from an empty string, because the scanner needs to preserve that distinction when normalizing rows.
