function dbtng_example_install

Implements hook_install().

In Drupal 7, there is no need to install schema using this hook, the schema is already installed before this hook is called.

We will create a default entry in the database.

Outside of the .install file we would use drupal_write_record() to populate the database, but it cannot be used here, so we'll use db_insert().
