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 ;)

68

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. See C<sql_exec> for a discussion.
82
83 =item $PApp::SQL::Database
84
85 The current default C<PApp::SQL::Database>-object. Future versions might
86 automatically fall back on this database and create database handles from
87 it if neccessary. At the moment this is not used by this module but might
88 be nice as a placeholder for the database object that corresponds to
89 $PApp::SQL::DBH.

93 =head2 FUNCTIONS
94
95 =over 4
96
97 =item $dbh = connect_cached $id, $dsn, $user, $pass, $flags, $connect
98
99 (not exported by by default)
100
101 Connect to the database given by C<($dsn,$user,$pass)>, while using the
102 flags from C<$flags>. These are just the same arguments as given to
103 C<DBI->connect>.
104
105 The database handle will be cached under the unique id
106 C<$id|$dsn|$user|$pass>. If the same id is requested later, the
107 cached handle will be checked (using ping), and the connection will
108 be re-established if necessary (be sure to prefix your application or
109 module name to the id to make it "more" unique. Things like __PACKAGE__ .
110 __LINE__ work fine as well).
111
112 The reason C<$id> is necessary is that you might specify special connect
113 arguments or special flags, or you might want to configure your $DBH
114 differently than maybe other applications requesting the same database
115 connection. If none of this is necessary for your application you can
116 leave C<$id> empty (i.e. "").
117
118 If specified, C<$connect> is a callback (e.g. a coderef) that will be
119 called each time a new connection is being established, with the new
120 C<$dbh> as first argument.
121
122 Examples:
123
124 # try your luck opening the papp database without access info
125 $dbh = connect_cached __FILE__, "DBI:mysql:papp";
126
127 Mysql-specific behaviour: The default setting of
128 C<mysql_client_found_rows> is TRUE, you can overwrite this, though.

132 sub connect_cached {
133 my ($id, $dsn, $user, $pass, $flags, $connect) = @_;
134 # the following line is duplicated in PApp::SQL::Database::new
135 $id = "$id\0$dsn\0$user\0$pass";
136 unless ($dbcache{$id} && $dbcache{$id}->ping) {
137 # first, nuke our statement cache (sooory ;)
138 cachesize cachesize 0;
139
140 # then make mysql behave more standardly by default
141 $dsn =~ /^[Dd][Bb][Ii]:mysql:/
142 and $dsn !~ /;mysql_client_found_rows/
143 and $dsn .= ";mysql_client_found_rows=1";
144

148 || eval { DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $pass, $flags) }
149 || die "unable to connect to database $dsn: $DBI::errstr\n";
150 $connect->($dbcache{$id}) if $connect;
151 }

155 =item $sth = sql_exec [dbh,] [bind-vals...,] "sql-statement", [arguments...]
156
157 =item $sth = sql_uexec <see sql_exec>
158
159 C<sql_exec> is the most important and most-used function in this module.
160
161 Runs the given sql command with the given parameters and returns the
162 statement handle. The command and the statement handle will be cached
163 (with the database handle and the sql string as key), so prepare will be
164 called only once for each distinct sql call (please keep in mind that the
165 returned statement will always be the same, so, if you call C<sql_exec>
166 with the same dbh and sql-statement twice (e.g. in a subroutine you
167 called), the statement handle for the first call mustn't not be in use
168 anymore, as the subsequent call will re-use the handle.
169
170 The database handle (the first argument) is optional. If it is missing,
171 it tries to use database handle in C<$PApp::SQL::DBH>, which you can set
172 before calling these functions. NOTICE: future and former versions of
173 PApp::SQL might also look up the global variable C<$DBH> in the callers
174 package.
175
176 =begin comment
177
178 If it is missing, C<sql_exec> first tries to use the variable C<$DBH>
179 in the current (= calling) package and, if that fails, it tries to use
180 database handle in C<$PApp::SQL::DBH>, which you can set before calling
181 these functions.
182
183 =end comment
184
185 The actual return value from the C<$sth->execute> call is stored in the
186 package-global (and exported) variable C<$sql_exec>.
187
188 If any error occurs C<sql_exec> will throw an exception.
189
190 C<sql_uexec> is similar to C<sql_exec> but upgrades all input arguments to
191 utf8 before calling the C<execute> method.
192
193 Examples:
194
195 # easy one
196 my $st = sql_exec "select name, id from table where id = ?", $id;
197 while (my ($name, $id) = $st->fetchrow_array) { ... };
198
199 # the fastest way to use dbi, using bind_columns
200 my $st = sql_exec \my($name, $id),
201 "select name, id from table where id = ?",
202 $id;
203 while ($st->fetch) { ...}
204
205 # now use a different dastabase:
206 sql_exec $dbh, "update file set name = ?", "oops.txt";
207
208
209 =item sql_fetch <see sql_exec>
210
211 =item sql_ufetch <see sql_uexec>
212
213 Execute an sql-statement and fetch the first row of results. Depending on
214 the caller context the row will be returned as a list (array context), or
215 just the first columns. In table form:
216
217 CONTEXT RESULT
218 void ()
219 scalar first column
220 list array
221
222 C<sql_fetch> is quite efficient in conjunction with bind variables:
223
224 sql_fetch \my($name, $amount),
225 "select name, amount from table where id name = ?",
226 "Toytest";
227
228 But of course the normal way to call it is simply:
229
230 my($name, $amount) = sql_fetch "select ...", args...
231
232 ... and it's still quite fast unless you fetch large amounts of data.
233
234 C<sql_ufetch> is similar to C<sql_fetch> but upgrades all input values to
235 utf8 and forces all result values to utf8 (this does I<not> include result
236 parameters, only return values. Using bind variables in cinjunction with
237 sql_u* functions results in undefined behaviour).
238
239 =item sql_fetchall <see sql_exec>
240
241 =item sql_ufetchall <see sql_uexec>
242
243 Similarly to C<sql_fetch>, but all result rows will be fetched (this is
244 of course inefficient for large results!). The context is ignored (only
245 list context makes sense), but the result still depends on the number of
246 columns in the result:
247
248 COLUMNS RESULT
249 0 ()
250 1 (row1, row2, row3...)
251 many ([row1], [row2], [row3]...)
252
253 Examples (all of which are inefficient):
254
255 for (sql_fetchall "select id from table") { ... }
256
257 my @names = sql_fetchall "select name from user";
258
259 for (sql_fetchall "select name, age, place from user") {
260 my ($name, $age, $place) = @$_;
261 }
262
263 C<sql_ufetchall> is similar to C<sql_fetchall> but upgrades all input
264 values to utf8 and forces all result values to utf8 (see the caveats in
265 the description of C<sql_ufetch>, though).
266
267 =item sql_exists "<table_references> where <where_condition>...", args...
268
269 =item sql_uexists <see sql_exists>
270
271 Check wether the result of the sql-statement "select xxx from
272 $first_argument" would be empty or not (that is, imagine the string
273 "select * from" were prepended to your statement (it isn't)). Should work
274 with every database but can be quite slow, except on mysql, where this
275 should be quite fast.
276
277 C<sql_uexists> is similar to C<sql_exists> but upgrades all parameters to
278 utf8.
279
280 Examples:
281
282 print "user 7 exists!\n"
283 if sql_exists "user where id = ?", 7;
284
285 die "duplicate key"
286 if sql_exists "user where name = ? and pass = ?", "stefan", "geheim";
287
288 =cut
289
290 =item $lastid = sql_insertid $sth
291
292 Returns the last automatically created key value. It must be executed
293 directly after executing the insert statement that created it. This is
294 what is actually returned for various databases. If your database is
295 missing, please send me an e-mail on how to implement this ;)
296
297 mysql: first C<AUTO_INCREMENT> column set to NULL
298 postgres: C<oid> column (is there a way to get the last SERIAL?)
299 sybase: C<IDENTITY> column of the last insert (slow)
300 informix: C<SERIAL> or C<SERIAL8> column of the last insert
301
302 Except for sybase, this does not require a server access.

305
306 sub sql_insertid($) {
307 my $sth = shift or die "sql_insertid requires a statement handle";
308 my $dbh = $sth->{Database};
309 my $driver = $dbh->{Driver}{Name};
310
311 $driver eq "mysql" and return $sth->{mysql_insertid};
312 $driver eq "Pg" and return $sth->{pg_oid_status};
313 $driver eq "Sybase" and return sql_fetch($dbh, 'SELECT @@IDENTITY');
314 $driver eq "Informix" and return $sth->{ix_sqlerrd}[1];
315
316 die "sql_insertid does not spport the dbd driver '$driver', please see PApp::SQL::sql_insertid";
317 }
318
319 =item [old-size] = cachesize [new-size]
320
321 Returns (and possibly changes) the LRU cache size used by C<sql_exec>. The
322 default is somewhere around 50 (= the 50 last recently used statements
323 will be cached). It shouldn't be too large, since a simple linear list
324 is used for the cache at the moment (which, for small (<100) cache sizes
325 is actually quite fast).
326
327 The function always returns the cache size in effect I<before> the call,
328 so, to nuke the cache (for example, when a database connection has died
329 or you want to garbage collect old database/statement handles), this
330 construct can be used:
331
332 PApp::SQL::cachesize PApp::SQL::cachesize 0;
333
334 =cut
335
336 =item reinitialize [not exported]
337
338 Clears any internal caches (statement cache, database handle
339 cache). Should be called after C<fork> and other accidents that invalidate
340 database handles.
341
342 =cut
343
344 sub reinitialize {
345 cachesize cachesize 0;
346 for (values %dbcache) {
347 eval { $_->{InactiveDestroy} = 1 };
348 }
349 undef %dbcache;
350 }

359
360 =head2 THE DATABASE CLASS
361
362 Again (sigh) the problem of persistency. What do you do when you have
363 to serialize on object that contains (or should contain) a database
364 handle? Short answer: you don't. Long answer: you can embed the necessary
365 information to recreate the dbh when needed.
366
367 The C<PApp::SQL::Database> class does that, in a relatively efficient
368 fashion: the overhead is currently a single method call per access (you
369 can cache the real dbh if you want).
370
371 =over 4
372
373 =item $db = new <same arguments as C<connect_cached>>
374
375 The C<new> call takes the same arguments as C<connect_cached> (obviously,
376 if you supply a connect callback it better is serializable, see
377 L<PApp::Callback>!) and returns a serializable database class. No database
378 handle is actually being created.
379
380 =item $db->dbh
381
382 Return the database handle as fast as possible (usually just a hash lookup).
383
384 =item $db->checked_dbh
385
386 Return the database handle, but first check that the database is still
387 available and re-open the connection if necessary.
