366 | =head2 Type Deduction |
|
|
367 | |
|
|
368 | Since every database driver seems to deduce parameter types differently, |
|
|
369 | usually wrongly, and at leats in the case of DBD::mysql, different in |
|
|
370 | every other release or so, and this can and does lead to data corruption, |
|
|
371 | this module does type deduction itself. |
|
|
372 | |
|
|
373 | What does it mean? Simple - sql parameters for placeholders will be |
|
|
374 | explicitly marked as SQL_VARCHAR, SQL_INTEGER or SQL_DOUBLE the first time |
|
|
375 | a statement is prepared. |
|
|
376 | |
|
|
377 | To force a specific type, you can either continue to use e.g. sql casts, |
|
|
378 | or you can make sure to consistently use strings or numbers. To make a |
|
|
379 | perl scalar look enough like a string or a number, use this when passing |
|
|
380 | it to sql_exec or a similar functions: |
|
|
381 | |
|
|
382 | "$string" # to pass a string |
|
|
383 | $num+0 # to pass a number |
