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 be 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 $DBH
115 differently than maybe other applications requesting the same database
116 connection. If none of this is necessary for your application you can
117 leave C<$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 $sth = sql_uexec <see sql_exec>
159
160 C<sql_exec> is the most important and most-used function in this module.
161
162 Runs the given sql command with the given parameters and returns the
163 statement handle. The command and the statement handle will be cached
164 (with the database handle and the sql string as key), so prepare will be
165 called only once for each distinct sql call (please keep in mind that the
166 returned statement will always be the same, so, if you call C<sql_exec>
167 with the same dbh and sql-statement twice (e.g. in a subroutine you
168 called), the statement handle for the first call mustn't not be in use
169 anymore, as the subsequent call will re-use the handle.
170
171 The database handle (the first argument) is optional. If it is missing,
172 C<sql_exec> first tries to use the variable C<$DBH> in the current (=
173 calling) package and, if that fails, it tries to use database handle in
174 C<$PApp::SQL::DBH>, which you can set before calling these functions.
175
176 The actual return value from the C<$sth->execute> call is stored in the
177 package-global (and exported) variable C<$sql_exec>.
178
179 If any error occurs C<sql_exec> will throw an exception.
180
181 C<sql_uexec> is similar to C<sql_exec> but upgrades all input arguments to
182 utf8 before calling the C<execute> method.
183
184 Examples:
185
186 # easy one
187 my $st = sql_exec "select name, id from table where id = ?", $id;
188 while (my ($name, $id) = $st->fetchrow_array) { ... };
189
190 # the fastest way to use dbi, using bind_columns
191 my $st = sql_exec \my($name, $id),
192 "select name, id from table where id = ?",
193 $id;
194 while ($st->fetch) { ...}
195
196 # now use a different dastabase:
197 sql_exec $dbh, "update file set name = ?", "oops.txt";
198
199
200 =item sql_fetch <see sql_exec>
201
202 =item sql_ufetch <see sql_uexec>
203
204 Execute an sql-statement and fetch the first row of results. Depending on
205 the caller context the row will be returned as a list (array context), or
206 just the first columns. In table form:
207
208 CONTEXT RESULT
209 void ()
210 scalar first column
211 list array
212
213 C<sql_fetch> is quite efficient in conjunction with bind variables:
214
215 sql_fetch \my($name, $amount),
216 "select name, amount from table where id name = ?",
217 "Toytest";
218
219 But of course the normal way to call it is simply:
220
221 my($name, $amount) = sql_fetch "select ...", args...
222
223 ... and it's still quite fast unless you fetch large amounts of data.
224
225 C<sql_ufetch> is similar to C<sql_fetch> but upgrades all input values to
226 utf8 and forces all result values to utf8 (this does I<not> include result
227 parameters, only return values. Using bind variables in cinjunction with
228 sql_u* functions results in undefined behaviour).
229
230 =item sql_fetchall <see sql_exec>
231
232 =item sql_ufetchall <see sql_uexec>
233
234 Similarly to C<sql_fetch>, but all result rows will be fetched (this is
235 of course inefficient for large results!). The context is ignored (only
236 list context makes sense), but the result still depends on the number of
237 columns in the result:
238
239 COLUMNS RESULT
240 0 ()
241 1 (row1, row2, row3...)
242 many ([row1], [row2], [row3]...)
243
244 Examples (all of which are inefficient):
245
246 for (sql_fetchall "select id from table") { ... }
247
248 my @names = sql_fetchall "select name from user";
249
250 for (sql_fetchall "select name, age, place from user") {
251 my ($name, $age, $place) = @$_;
252 }
253
254 C<sql_ufetchall> is similar to C<sql_fetchall> but upgrades all input
255 values to utf8 and forces all result values to utf8 (see the caveats in
256 the description of C<sql_ufetch>, though).
257
258 =item sql_exists "<table_references> where <where_condition>...", args...
259
260 =item sql_uexists <see sql_exists>
261
262 Check wether the result of the sql-statement "select xxx from
263 $first_argument" would be empty or not (that is, imagine the string
264 "select * from" were prepended to your statement (it isn't)). Should work
265 with every database but can be quite slow, except on mysql, where this
266 should be quite fast.
267
268 C<sql_uexists> is similar to C<sql_exists> but upgrades all parameters to
269 utf8.
270
271 Examples:
272
273 print "user 7 exists!\n"
274 if sql_exists "user where id = ?", 7;
275
276 die "duplicate key"
277 if sql_exists "user where name = ? and pass = ?", "stefan", "geheim";
278
279 =cut
280
281 =item $lastid = sql_insertid $sth
282
283 Returns the last automatically created key value. It must be executed
284 directly after executing the insert statement that created it. This is
285 what is actually returned for various databases. If your database is
286 missing, please send me an e-mail on how to implement this ;)
287
288 mysql: first C<AUTO_INCREMENT> column set to NULL
289 postgres: C<oid> column (is there a way to get the last SERIAL?)
290 sybase: C<IDENTITY> column of the last insert (slow)
291 informix: C<SERIAL> or C<SERIAL8> column of the last insert
292
293 Except for sybase, this does not require a server access.

297 sub sql_insertid($) {
298 my $sth = shift or die "sql_insertid requires a statement handle";
299 my $dbh = $sth->{Database};
300 my $driver = $dbh->{Driver}{Name};
301
302 $driver eq "mysql" and return $sth->{mysql_insertid};
303 $driver eq "Pg" and return $sth->{pg_oid_status};
304 $driver eq "Sybase" and return sql_fetch($dbh, 'SELECT @@IDENTITY');
305 $driver eq "Informix" and return $sth->{ix_sqlerrd}[1];
306
307 die "sql_insertid does not spport the dbd driver '$driver', please see PApp::SQL::sql_insertid";
308 }
309
310 =item [old-size] = cachesize [new-size]
311
312 Returns (and possibly changes) the LRU cache size used by C<sql_exec>. The
313 default is somewhere around 50 (= the 50 last recently used statements
314 will be cached). It shouldn't be too large, since a simple linear listed
315 is used for the cache at the moment (which, for small (<100) cache sizes
316 is actually quite fast).
317
318 The function always returns the cache size in effect I<before> the call,
319 so, to nuke the cache (for example, when a database connection has died
320 or you want to garbage collect old database/statement handles), this
321 construct can be used:
322
323 PApp::SQL::cachesize PApp::SQL::cachesize 0;
324
325 =cut
326
327 =item reinitialize [not exported]
328
329 Clears any internal caches (statement cache, database handle
330 cache). Should be called after C<fork> and other accidents that invalidate
331 database handles.
332
333 =cut
334
335 sub reinitialize {
336 cachesize cachesize 0;
337 for (values %dbcache) {
338 eval { $_->{InactiveDestroy} = 1 };
339 }
340 undef %dbcache;
341 }

350
351 =head2 THE DATABASE CLASS
352
353 Again (sigh) the problem of persistency. What do you do when you have
354 to serialize on object that contains (or should contain) a database
355 handle? Short answer: you don't. Long answer: you can embed the necessary
356 information to recreate the dbh when needed.
357
358 The C<PApp::SQL::Database> class does that, in a relatively efficient
359 fashion: the overhead is currently a single method call per access (you
360 can cache the real dbh if you want).
361
362 =over 4
363
364 =item $db = new <same arguments as C<connect_cached>>
365
366 The C<new> call takes the same arguments as C<connect_cached> (obviously,
367 if you supply a connect callback it better is serializable, see
368 L<PApp::Callback>!) and returns a serializable database class. No database
369 handle is actually being created.
370
371 =item $db->dbh
372
373 Return the database handle as fast as possible (usually just a hash lookup).
374
375 =item $db->checked_dbh
376
377 Return the database handle, but first check that the database is still
378 available and re-open the connection if necessary.
