26 =head1 DESCRIPTION
27
28 This module provides you with easy-to-use functions to execute sql
29 commands (using DBI). Despite being easy to use, they are also quite
30 efficient and allow you to write faster programs in less lines of code. It
31 should work with anything from perl-5.004_01 onwards, but I only support
32 5.005+. UTF8 handling (the C<sql_u*> family of functions) will only be
33 effective with perl version 5.006 and beyond.
34
35 If the descriptions here seem terse or if you always wanted to know
36 what PApp is then have a look at the PApp module which uses this module
37 extensively but also provides you with a lot more gimmicks to play around
38 with to help you create cool applications ;)

67 =head2 GLOBAL VARIABLES
68
69 =over 4
70
71 =item $sql_exec
72
73 Since the C<sql_exec> family of functions return a statement handle there
74 must eb another way to test the return value of the C<execute> call. This
75 global variable contains the result of the most recent call to C<execute>
76 done by this module.
77
78 =item $PApp::SQL::DBH
79
80 The default database handle used by this module if no C<$DBH> was
81 specified as argument and no C<$DBH> is found in the current package. See
82 C<sql_exec> for a discussion.
83
84 =item $PApp::SQL::Database
85
86 The current default C<PApp::SQL::Database>-object. Future versions might
87 automatically fall back on this database and create database handles from
88 it if neccessary. At the moment this is not used by this module but might
89 be nice as a placeholder for the database object that corresponds to
90 $PApp::SQL::DBH.

96 =over 4
97
98 =item $dbh = connect_cached $id, $dsn, $user, $pass, $flags, $connect
99
100 (not exported by by default)
101
102 Connect to the database given by C<($dsn,$user,$pass)>, while using the
103 flags from C<$flags>. These are just the same arguments as given to
104 C<DBI->connect>.
105
106 The database handle will be cached under the unique id
107 C<$id|$dsn|$user|$pass>. If the same id is requested later, the
108 cached handle will be checked (using ping), and the connection will
109 be re-established if necessary (be sure to prefix your application or
110 module name to the id to make it "more" unique. Things like __PACKAGE__ .
111 __LINE__ work fine as well).
112
113 The reason C<$id> is necessary is that you might specify special connect
114 arguments or special flags, or you might want to configure your $DBH
115 differently than maybe other applications requesting the same database
116 connection. If none of this is becessary for your application you can
117 leave $id empty (i.e. "").
118
119 If specified, C<$connect> is a callback (e.g. a coderef) that will be
120 called each time a new connection is being established, with the new
121 C<$dbh> as first argument.
122
123 Examples:
124
125 # try your luck opening the papp database without access info
126 $dbh = connect_cached __FILE__, "DBI:mysql:papp";
127
128 Mysql-specific behaviour: The default setting of
129 C<mysql_client_found_rows> is TRUE, you can overwrite this, though.

133 sub connect_cached {
134 my ($id, $dsn, $user, $pass, $flags, $connect) = @_;
135 # the following line is duplicated in PApp::SQL::Database::new
136 $id = "$id\0$dsn\0$user\0$pass";
137 unless ($dbcache{$id} && $dbcache{$id}->ping) {
138 # first, nuke our statement cache (sooory ;)
139 cachesize cachesize 0;
140
141 # then make mysql behave more standardly by default
142 $dsn =~ /^[Dd][Bb][Ii]:mysql:/
143 and $dsn !~ /;mysql_client_found_rows/
144 and $dsn .= ";mysql_client_found_rows=1";
145
146 # then connect anew
147 $dbcache{$id} =
148 eval { DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $pass, $flags) }
149 || eval { DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $pass, $flags) }
150 || die "unable to connect to database $dsn: $DBI::errstr\n";
151 $connect->($dbcache{$id}) if $connect;
152 }
153 $dbcache{$id};
154 }
155
156 =item $sth = sql_exec [dbh,] [bind-vals...,] "sql-statement", [arguments...]
157
158 =item $sth = sql_uexec <see sql_exec>
159
160 C<sql_exec> is the most important and most-used function in this module.
161
162 Runs the given sql command with the given parameters and returns the
163 statement handle. The command and the statement handle will be cached
164 (with the database handle and the sql string as key), so prepare will be
165 called only once for each distinct sql call (please keep in mind that the
166 returned statement will always be the same, so, if you call C<sql_exec>
167 with the same dbh and sql-statement twice (e.g. in a subroutine you
168 called), the statement handle for the first call mustn't be used.
169
170 The database handle (the first argument) is optional. If it is missing,
171 C<sql_exec> first tries to use the variable C<$DBH> in the current (=
172 calling) package and, if that fails, it tries to use database handle in
173 C<$PApp::SQL::DBH>, which you can set before calling these functions.
174
175 The actual return value from the C<$sth->execute> call is stored in the
176 package-global (and exported) variable C<$sql_exec>.
177
178 If any error occurs C<sql_exec> will throw an exception.
179
180 C<sql_uexec> is similar to C<sql_exec> but upgrades all input arguments to
181 utf8 before calling the C<execute> method.
182
183 Examples:
184
185 # easy one
186 my $st = sql_exec "select name, id from table where id = ?", $id;
187 while (my ($name, $id) = $st->fetchrow_array) { ... };
188
189 # the fastest way to use dbi, using bind_columns
190 my $st = sql_exec \my($name, $id),
191 "select name, id from table where id = ?",
192 $id;
193 while ($st->fetch) { ...}
194
195 # now use a different dastabase:
196 sql_exec $dbh, "update file set name = ?", "oops.txt";
197
198
199 =item sql_fetch <see sql_exec>
200
201 =item sql_ufetch <see sql_uexec>
202
203 Execute an sql-statement and fetch the first row of results. Depending on
204 the caller context the row will be returned as a list (array context), or
205 just the first columns. In table form:
206
207 CONTEXT RESULT
208 void ()
209 scalar first column
210 list array
211
212 C<sql_fetch> is quite efficient in conjunction with bind variables:
213
214 sql_fetch \my($name, $amount),
215 "select name, amount from table where id name = ?",
216 "Toytest";
217
218 But of course the normal way to call it is simply:
219
220 my($name, $amount) = sql_fetch "select ...", args...
221
222 ... and it's still quite fast unless you fetch large amounts of data.
223
224 C<sql_ufetch> is similar to C<sql_fetch> but upgrades all input values to
225 utf8 and forces all result values to utf8.
226
227 =item sql_fetchall <see sql_exec>
228
229 =item sql_ufetchall <see sql_uexec>
230
231 Similarly to C<sql_fetch>, but all result rows will be fetched (this is
232 of course inefficient for large results!). The context is ignored (only
233 list context makes sense), but the result still depends on the number of
234 columns in the result:
235
236 COLUMNS RESULT
237 0 ()
238 1 (row1, row2, row3...)
239 many ([row1], [row2], [row3]...)
240
241 Examples (all of which are inefficient):
242
243 for (sql_fetchall "select id from table") { ... }
244
245 my @names = sql_fetchall "select name from user";
246
247 for (sql_fetchall "select name, age, place from user") {
248 my ($name, $age, $place) = @$_;
249 }
250
251 C<sql_ufetchall> is similar to C<sql_fetchall> but upgrades all input
252 values to utf8 and forces all result values to utf8.
253
254 =item sql_exists "<table_references> where <where_condition>...", args...
255
256 =item sql_uexists <see sql_exists>
257
258 Check wether the result of the sql-statement "select xxx from
259 $first_argument" would be empty or not (that is, imagine the string
260 "select * from" were prepended to your statement (it isn't)). Should work
261 with every database but can be quite slow, except on mysql, where this
262 should be quite fast.
263
264 C<sql_uexists> is similar to C<sql_exists> but upgrades all parameters to
265 utf8.
266
267 Examples:
268
269 print "user 7 exists!\n"
270 if sql_exists "user where id = ?", 7;
271
272 die "duplicate key"
273 if sql_exists "user where name = ? and pass = ?", "stefan", "geheim";
274
275 =cut
276
277 =item $lastid = sql_insertid $sth
278
279 Returns the last automatically created key value. It must be executed
280 directly after executing the insert statement that created it. This is
281 what is actually returned for various databases. If your database is
282 missing, please send me an e-mail on how to implement this ;)
283
284 mysql: first C<AUTO_INCREMENT> column set to NULL
285 postgres: C<oid> column (is there a way to get the last SERIAL?)
286 sybase: C<IDENTITY> column of the last insert (slow)
287 informix: C<SERIAL> or C<SERIAL8> column of the last insert
288
289 Except for sybase, this does not require a server access.

293 sub sql_insertid($) {
294 my $sth = shift or die "sql_insertid requires a statement handle";
295 my $dbh = $sth->{Database};
296 my $driver = $dbh->{Driver}{Name};
297
298 $driver eq "mysql" and return $sth->{mysql_insertid};
299 $driver eq "Pg" and return $sth->{pg_oid_status};
300 $driver eq "Sybase" and return sql_fetch($dbh, 'SELECT @@IDENTITY');
301 $driver eq "Informix" and return $sth->{ix_sqlerrd}[1];
302
303 die "sql_insertid does not spport the dbd driver '$driver', please see PApp::SQL::sql_insertid";
304 }
305
306 =item [old-size] = cachesize [new-size]
307
308 Returns (and possibly changes) the LRU cache size used by C<sql_exec>. The
309 default is somewhere around 50 (= the 50 last recently used statements
310 will be cached). It shouldn't be too large, since a simple linear listed
311 is used for the cache at the moment (which, for small (<100) cache sizes
312 is actually quite fast).
313
314 The function always returns the cache size in effect I<before> the call,
315 so, to nuke the cache (for example, when a database connection has died
316 or you want to garbage collect old database/statement handles), this
317 construct can be used:
318
319 PApp::SQL::cachesize PApp::SQL::cachesize 0;
320
321 =cut
322
323 =item reinitialize [not exported]
324
325 Clears any internal caches (statement cache, database handle
326 cache). Should be called after C<fork> and other accidents that invalidate
327 database handles.
328
329 =cut
330
331 sub reinitialize {
332 cachesize cachesize 0;
333 for (values %dbcache) {
334 eval { $_->{InactiveDestroy} = 1 };
335 }
336 undef %dbcache;
337 }

345 package PApp::SQL::Database;
346
347 =head2 THE DATABASE CLASS
348
349 Again (sigh) the problem of persistency. What do you do when you have
350 to serialize on object that contains (or should contain) a database
351 handle? Short answer: you don't. Long answer: you can embed the necessary
352 information to recreate the dbh when needed.
353
354 The C<PApp::SQL::Database> class does that, in a relatively efficient
355 fashion: the overhead is currently a single method call per access (you
356 can cache the real dbh if you want).
357
358 =over 4
359
360 =item $db = new <same arguments as C<connect_cached>>
361
362 The C<new> call takes the same arguments as C<connect_cached> (obviously,
363 if you supply a connect callback it better is serializable, see
364 L<PApp::Callback>!) and returns a serializable database class. No database
365 handle is actually being created.
366
367 =item $db->dbh
368
369 Return the database handle as fast as possible (usually just a hash lookup).
370
371 =item $db->checked_dbh
372
373 Return the database handle, but first check that the database is still
374 available and re-open the connection if necessary.

399
400 Return the DSN (L<DBI>) fo the database object (e.g. for error messages).

403
404 Return the login name.
