1256 | |
1257 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
1258 | |
1259 | This module was inspired by the excellent L<DBIx::Abstract>. |
1260 | However, in using that module I found that what I really wanted |
1261 | to do was generate SQL, but still retain complete control over my |
1262 | statement handles and use the DBI interface. So, I set out to |
1263 | create an abstract SQL generation module. |
1264 | |
1265 | While based on the concepts used by L<DBIx::Abstract>, there are |
1266 | several important differences, especially when it comes to WHERE |
1267 | clauses. I have modified the concepts used to make the SQL easier |
1268 | to generate from Perl data structures and, IMO, more intuitive. |
1269 | The underlying idea is for this module to do what you mean, based |
1270 | on the data structures you provide it. The big advantage is that |
1271 | you don't have to modify your code every time your data changes, |
1272 | as this module figures it out. |
1273 | |
1274 | To begin with, an SQL INSERT is as easy as just specifying a hash |
1275 | of C<key=value> pairs: |
1276 | |
1277 | my %data = ( |
1278 | name => 'Jimbo Bobson', |
1279 | phone => '123-456-7890', |
1280 | address => '42 Sister Lane', |
1281 | city => 'St. Louis', |
1282 | state => 'Louisiana', |
1283 | ); |
1284 | |
1285 | The SQL can then be generated with this: |
1286 | |
1287 | my($stmt, @bind) = $sql->insert('people', \%data); |
1288 | |
1289 | Which would give you something like this: |
1290 | |
1291 | $stmt = "INSERT INTO people |
1292 | (address, city, name, phone, state) |
1293 | VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)"; |
1294 | @bind = ('42 Sister Lane', 'St. Louis', 'Jimbo Bobson', |
1295 | '123-456-7890', 'Louisiana'); |
1296 | |
1297 | These are then used directly in your DBI code: |
1298 | |
1299 | my $sth = $dbh->prepare($stmt); |
1300 | $sth->execute(@bind); |
1301 | |
96449e8e |
1302 | =head2 Inserting and Updating Arrays |
1303 | |
1304 | If your database has array types (like for example Postgres), |
1305 | activate the special option C<< array_datatypes => 1 >> |
1306 | when creating the C<SQL::Abstract> object. |
1307 | Then you may use an arrayref to insert and update database array types: |
1308 | |
1309 | my $sql = SQL::Abstract->new(array_datatypes => 1); |
1310 | my %data = ( |
1311 | planets => [qw/Mercury Venus Earth Mars/] |
1312 | ); |
1313 | |
1314 | my($stmt, @bind) = $sql->insert('solar_system', \%data); |
1315 | |
1316 | This results in: |
1317 | |
1318 | $stmt = "INSERT INTO solar_system (planets) VALUES (?)" |
1319 | |
1320 | @bind = (['Mercury', 'Venus', 'Earth', 'Mars']); |
1321 | |
1322 | |
1323 | =head2 Inserting and Updating SQL |
1324 | |
1325 | In order to apply SQL functions to elements of your C<%data> you may |
1326 | specify a reference to an arrayref for the given hash value. For example, |
1327 | if you need to execute the Oracle C<to_date> function on a value, you can |
1328 | say something like this: |
32eab2da |
1329 | |
1330 | my %data = ( |
1331 | name => 'Bill', |
96449e8e |
1332 | date_entered => \["to_date(?,'MM/DD/YYYY')", "03/02/2003"], |
32eab2da |
1333 | ); |
1334 | |
1335 | The first value in the array is the actual SQL. Any other values are |
1336 | optional and would be included in the bind values array. This gives |
1337 | you: |
1338 | |
1339 | my($stmt, @bind) = $sql->insert('people', \%data); |
1340 | |
1341 | $stmt = "INSERT INTO people (name, date_entered) |
1342 | VALUES (?, to_date(?,'MM/DD/YYYY'))"; |
1343 | @bind = ('Bill', '03/02/2003'); |
1344 | |
1345 | An UPDATE is just as easy, all you change is the name of the function: |
1346 | |
1347 | my($stmt, @bind) = $sql->update('people', \%data); |
1348 | |
1349 | Notice that your C<%data> isn't touched; the module will generate |
1350 | the appropriately quirky SQL for you automatically. Usually you'll |
1351 | want to specify a WHERE clause for your UPDATE, though, which is |
1352 | where handling C<%where> hashes comes in handy... |
1353 | |
96449e8e |
1354 | =head2 Complex where statements |
1355 | |
32eab2da |
1356 | This module can generate pretty complicated WHERE statements |
1357 | easily. For example, simple C<key=value> pairs are taken to mean |
1358 | equality, and if you want to see if a field is within a set |
1359 | of values, you can use an arrayref. Let's say we wanted to |
1360 | SELECT some data based on this criteria: |
1361 | |
1362 | my %where = ( |
1363 | requestor => 'inna', |
1364 | worker => ['nwiger', 'rcwe', 'sfz'], |
1365 | status => { '!=', 'completed' } |
1366 | ); |
1367 | |
1368 | my($stmt, @bind) = $sql->select('tickets', '*', \%where); |
1369 | |
1370 | The above would give you something like this: |
1371 | |
1372 | $stmt = "SELECT * FROM tickets WHERE |
1373 | ( requestor = ? ) AND ( status != ? ) |
1374 | AND ( worker = ? OR worker = ? OR worker = ? )"; |
1375 | @bind = ('inna', 'completed', 'nwiger', 'rcwe', 'sfz'); |
1376 | |
1377 | Which you could then use in DBI code like so: |
1378 | |
1379 | my $sth = $dbh->prepare($stmt); |
1380 | $sth->execute(@bind); |
1381 | |
1382 | Easy, eh? |
1383 | |
1384 | =head1 FUNCTIONS |
1385 | |
1386 | The functions are simple. There's one for each major SQL operation, |
1387 | and a constructor you use first. The arguments are specified in a |
1388 | similar order to each function (table, then fields, then a where |
1389 | clause) to try and simplify things. |
1390 | |

1391 | |
83cab70b |
1392 | |
32eab2da |
1393 | |
1394 | =head2 new(option => 'value') |
1395 | |
1396 | The C<new()> function takes a list of options and values, and returns |
1397 | a new B<SQL::Abstract> object which can then be used to generate SQL |
1398 | through the methods below. The options accepted are: |
1399 | |
1400 | =over |
1401 | |
1402 | =item case |
1403 | |
1404 | If set to 'lower', then SQL will be generated in all lowercase. By |
1405 | default SQL is generated in "textbook" case meaning something like: |
1406 | |
1407 | SELECT a_field FROM a_table WHERE some_field LIKE '%someval%' |
1408 | |
96449e8e |
1409 | Any setting other than 'lower' is ignored. |
1410 | |
32eab2da |
1411 | =item cmp |
1412 | |
1413 | This determines what the default comparison operator is. By default |
1414 | it is C<=>, meaning that a hash like this: |
1415 | |
1416 | %where = (name => 'nwiger', email => 'nate@wiger.org'); |
1417 | |
1418 | Will generate SQL like this: |
1419 | |
1420 | WHERE name = 'nwiger' AND email = 'nate@wiger.org' |
1421 | |
1422 | However, you may want loose comparisons by default, so if you set |
1423 | C<cmp> to C<like> you would get SQL such as: |
1424 | |
1425 | WHERE name like 'nwiger' AND email like 'nate@wiger.org' |
1426 | |
1427 | You can also override the comparsion on an individual basis - see |
1428 | the huge section on L</"WHERE CLAUSES"> at the bottom. |
1429 | |
96449e8e |
1430 | =item sqltrue, sqlfalse |
1431 | |
1432 | Expressions for inserting boolean values within SQL statements. |

1433 | By default these are C<1=1> and C<1=0>. They are used |
1434 | by the special operators C<-in> and C<-not_in> for generating |
1435 | correct SQL even when the argument is an empty array (see below). |
96449e8e |
1436 | |

1437 | =item logic |
1438 | |
1439 | This determines the default logical operator for multiple WHERE |
7cac25e6 |
1440 | statements in arrays or hashes. If absent, the default logic is "or" |
1441 | for arrays, and "and" for hashes. This means that a WHERE |
32eab2da |
1442 | array of the form: |
1443 | |
1444 | @where = ( |
1445 | event_date => {'>=', '2/13/99'}, |
1446 | event_date => {'<=', '4/24/03'}, |
1447 | ); |
1448 | |
7cac25e6 |
1449 | will generate SQL like this: |
32eab2da |
1450 | |
1451 | WHERE event_date >= '2/13/99' OR event_date <= '4/24/03' |
1452 | |
1453 | This is probably not what you want given this query, though (look |
1454 | at the dates). To change the "OR" to an "AND", simply specify: |
1455 | |
1456 | my $sql = SQL::Abstract->new(logic => 'and'); |
1457 | |
1458 | Which will change the above C<WHERE> to: |
1459 | |
1460 | WHERE event_date >= '2/13/99' AND event_date <= '4/24/03' |
1461 | |
96449e8e |
1462 | The logic can also be changed locally by inserting |
7cac25e6 |
1463 | a modifier in front of an arrayref : |
96449e8e |
1464 | |
7cac25e6 |
1465 | @where = (-and => [event_date => {'>=', '2/13/99'}, |
1466 | event_date => {'<=', '4/24/03'} ]); |
96449e8e |
1467 | |
1468 | See the L</"WHERE CLAUSES"> section for explanations. |
1469 | |
32eab2da |
1470 | =item convert |
1471 | |
1472 | This will automatically convert comparisons using the specified SQL |
1473 | function for both column and value. This is mostly used with an argument |
1474 | of C<upper> or C<lower>, so that the SQL will have the effect of |
1475 | case-insensitive "searches". For example, this: |
1476 | |
1477 | $sql = SQL::Abstract->new(convert => 'upper'); |
1478 | %where = (keywords => 'MaKe iT CAse inSeNSItive'); |
1479 | |
1480 | Will turn out the following SQL: |
1481 | |
1482 | WHERE upper(keywords) like upper('MaKe iT CAse inSeNSItive') |
1483 | |
1484 | The conversion can be C<upper()>, C<lower()>, or any other SQL function |
1485 | that can be applied symmetrically to fields (actually B<SQL::Abstract> does |
1486 | not validate this option; it will just pass through what you specify verbatim). |
1487 | |
1488 | =item bindtype |
1489 | |
1490 | This is a kludge because many databases suck. For example, you can't |
1491 | just bind values using DBI's C<execute()> for Oracle C<CLOB> or C<BLOB> fields. |
1492 | Instead, you have to use C<bind_param()>: |
1493 | |
1494 | $sth->bind_param(1, 'reg data'); |
1495 | $sth->bind_param(2, $lots, {ora_type => ORA_CLOB}); |
1496 | |
1497 | The problem is, B<SQL::Abstract> will normally just return a C<@bind> array, |
1498 | which loses track of which field each slot refers to. Fear not. |
1499 | |
1500 | If you specify C<bindtype> in new, you can determine how C<@bind> is returned. |
1501 | Currently, you can specify either C<normal> (default) or C<columns>. If you |
1502 | specify C<columns>, you will get an array that looks like this: |
1503 | |
1504 | my $sql = SQL::Abstract->new(bindtype => 'columns'); |
1505 | my($stmt, @bind) = $sql->insert(...); |
1506 | |
1507 | @bind = ( |
1508 | [ 'column1', 'value1' ], |
1509 | [ 'column2', 'value2' ], |
1510 | [ 'column3', 'value3' ], |
1511 | ); |
1512 | |
1513 | You can then iterate through this manually, using DBI's C<bind_param()>. |
e3f9dff4 |
1514 | |
32eab2da |
1515 | $sth->prepare($stmt); |
1516 | my $i = 1; |
1517 | for (@bind) { |
1518 | my($col, $data) = @$_; |
1519 | if ($col eq 'details' || $col eq 'comments') { |
1520 | $sth->bind_param($i, $data, {ora_type => ORA_CLOB}); |
1521 | } elsif ($col eq 'image') { |
1522 | $sth->bind_param($i, $data, {ora_type => ORA_BLOB}); |
1523 | } else { |
1524 | $sth->bind_param($i, $data); |
1525 | } |
1526 | $i++; |
1527 | } |
1528 | $sth->execute; # execute without @bind now |
1529 | |
1530 | Now, why would you still use B<SQL::Abstract> if you have to do this crap? |
1531 | Basically, the advantage is still that you don't have to care which fields |
1532 | are or are not included. You could wrap that above C<for> loop in a simple |
1533 | sub called C<bind_fields()> or something and reuse it repeatedly. You still |
1534 | get a layer of abstraction over manual SQL specification. |
1535 | |
deb148a2 |
1536 | Note that if you set L</bindtype> to C<columns>, the C<\[$sql, @bind]> |
1537 | construct (see L</Literal SQL with placeholders and bind values (subqueries)>) |
1538 | will expect the bind values in this format. |
1539 | |
32eab2da |
1540 | =item quote_char |
1541 | |
1542 | This is the character that a table or column name will be quoted |
1543 | with. By default this is an empty string, but you could set it to |
1544 | the character C<`>, to generate SQL like this: |
1545 | |
1546 | SELECT `a_field` FROM `a_table` WHERE `some_field` LIKE '%someval%' |
1547 | |
96449e8e |
1548 | Alternatively, you can supply an array ref of two items, the first being the left |
1549 | hand quote character, and the second the right hand quote character. For |
1550 | example, you could supply C<['[',']']> for SQL Server 2000 compliant quotes |
1551 | that generates SQL like this: |
1552 | |
1553 | SELECT [a_field] FROM [a_table] WHERE [some_field] LIKE '%someval%' |
1554 | |
1555 | Quoting is useful if you have tables or columns names that are reserved |
1556 | words in your database's SQL dialect. |
32eab2da |
1557 | |
1558 | =item name_sep |
1559 | |
1560 | This is the character that separates a table and column name. It is |
1561 | necessary to specify this when the C<quote_char> option is selected, |
1562 | so that tables and column names can be individually quoted like this: |
1563 | |
1564 | SELECT `table`.`one_field` FROM `table` WHERE `table`.`other_field` = 1 |
1565 | |
96449e8e |
1566 | =item array_datatypes |
32eab2da |
1567 | |
96449e8e |
1568 | When this option is true, arrayrefs in INSERT or UPDATE are |
1569 | interpreted as array datatypes and are passed directly |
1570 | to the DBI layer. |
1571 | When this option is false, arrayrefs are interpreted |
1572 | as literal SQL, just like refs to arrayrefs |
1573 | (but this behavior is for backwards compatibility; when writing |
1574 | new queries, use the "reference to arrayref" syntax |
1575 | for literal SQL). |
32eab2da |
1576 | |
32eab2da |
1577 | |
96449e8e |
1578 | =item special_ops |
32eab2da |
1579 | |
96449e8e |
1580 | Takes a reference to a list of "special operators" |
1581 | to extend the syntax understood by L<SQL::Abstract>. |
1582 | See section L</"SPECIAL OPERATORS"> for details. |

32eab2da |
1587 | |
1588 | =head2 insert($table, \@values || \%fieldvals) |
1589 | |
1590 | This is the simplest function. You simply give it a table name |
1591 | and either an arrayref of values or hashref of field/value pairs. |
1592 | It returns an SQL INSERT statement and a list of bind values. |
96449e8e |
1593 | See the sections on L</"Inserting and Updating Arrays"> and |
1594 | L</"Inserting and Updating SQL"> for information on how to insert |
1595 | with those data types. |
32eab2da |
1596 | |
1597 | =head2 update($table, \%fieldvals, \%where) |
1598 | |
1599 | This takes a table, hashref of field/value pairs, and an optional |
86298391 |
1600 | hashref L<WHERE clause|/WHERE CLAUSES>. It returns an SQL UPDATE function and a list |
32eab2da |
1601 | of bind values. |

96449e8e |
1606 | =head2 select($source, $fields, $where, $order) |
32eab2da |
1607 | |
96449e8e |
1608 | This returns a SQL SELECT statement and associated list of bind values, as |
1609 | specified by the arguments : |
32eab2da |
1610 | |
96449e8e |
1611 | =over |
32eab2da |
1612 | |
96449e8e |
1613 | =item $source |
32eab2da |
1614 | |
96449e8e |
1615 | Specification of the 'FROM' part of the statement. |
1616 | The argument can be either a plain scalar (interpreted as a table |
1617 | name, will be quoted), or an arrayref (interpreted as a list |
1618 | of table names, joined by commas, quoted), or a scalarref |
1619 | (literal table name, not quoted), or a ref to an arrayref |
1620 | (list of literal table names, joined by commas, not quoted). |
32eab2da |
1621 | |
96449e8e |
1622 | =item $fields |
32eab2da |
1623 | |
96449e8e |
1624 | Specification of the list of fields to retrieve from |
1625 | the source. |
1626 | The argument can be either an arrayref (interpreted as a list |
1627 | of field names, will be joined by commas and quoted), or a |
1628 | plain scalar (literal SQL, not quoted). |
1629 | Please observe that this API is not as flexible as for |
e3f9dff4 |
1630 | the first argument C<$table>, for backwards compatibility reasons. |
32eab2da |
1631 | |
96449e8e |
1632 | =item $where |
32eab2da |
1633 | |
96449e8e |
1634 | Optional argument to specify the WHERE part of the query. |
1635 | The argument is most often a hashref, but can also be |
1636 | an arrayref or plain scalar -- |
1637 | see section L<WHERE clause|/"WHERE CLAUSES"> for details. |
32eab2da |
1638 | |
96449e8e |
1639 | =item $order |
32eab2da |
1640 | |
96449e8e |
1641 | Optional argument to specify the ORDER BY part of the query. |
1642 | The argument can be a scalar, a hashref or an arrayref |
1643 | -- see section L<ORDER BY clause|/"ORDER BY CLAUSES"> |
1644 | for details. |
32eab2da |
1645 | |

32eab2da |
1648 | |
1649 | =head2 delete($table, \%where) |
1650 | |
86298391 |
1651 | This takes a table name and optional hashref L<WHERE clause|/WHERE CLAUSES>. |
32eab2da |
1652 | It returns an SQL DELETE statement and list of bind values. |
1653 | |
32eab2da |
1654 | =head2 where(\%where, \@order) |
1655 | |
1656 | This is used to generate just the WHERE clause. For example, |
1657 | if you have an arbitrary data structure and know what the |
1658 | rest of your SQL is going to look like, but want an easy way |
1659 | to produce a WHERE clause, use this. It returns an SQL WHERE |
1660 | clause and list of bind values. |
1661 | |
32eab2da |
1662 | |
1663 | =head2 values(\%data) |
1664 | |
1665 | This just returns the values from the hash C<%data>, in the same |
1666 | order that would be returned from any of the other above queries. |
1667 | Using this allows you to markedly speed up your queries if you |
1668 | are affecting lots of rows. See below under the L</"PERFORMANCE"> section. |
1669 | |
32eab2da |
1670 | =head2 generate($any, 'number', $of, \@data, $struct, \%types) |
1671 | |
1672 | Warning: This is an experimental method and subject to change. |
1673 | |
1674 | This returns arbitrarily generated SQL. It's a really basic shortcut. |
1675 | It will return two different things, depending on return context: |
1676 | |
1677 | my($stmt, @bind) = $sql->generate('create table', \$table, \@fields); |
1678 | my $stmt_and_val = $sql->generate('create table', \$table, \@fields); |
1679 | |
1680 | These would return the following: |
1681 | |
1682 | # First calling form |
1683 | $stmt = "CREATE TABLE test (?, ?)"; |
1684 | @bind = (field1, field2); |
1685 | |
1686 | # Second calling form |
1687 | $stmt_and_val = "CREATE TABLE test (field1, field2)"; |
1688 | |
1689 | Depending on what you're trying to do, it's up to you to choose the correct |
1690 | format. In this example, the second form is what you would want. |
1691 | |
1692 | By the same token: |
1693 | |
1694 | $sql->generate('alter session', { nls_date_format => 'MM/YY' }); |
1695 | |
1696 | Might give you: |
1697 | |
1698 | ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format = 'MM/YY' |
1699 | |
1700 | You get the idea. Strings get their case twiddled, but everything |
1701 | else remains verbatim. |

96449e8e |
1708 | =head2 Introduction |
1709 | |
32eab2da |
1710 | This module uses a variation on the idea from L<DBIx::Abstract>. It |
1711 | is B<NOT>, repeat I<not> 100% compatible. B<The main logic of this |
1712 | module is that things in arrays are OR'ed, and things in hashes |
1713 | are AND'ed.> |
1714 | |
1715 | The easiest way to explain is to show lots of examples. After |
1716 | each C<%where> hash shown, it is assumed you used: |
1717 | |
1718 | my($stmt, @bind) = $sql->where(\%where); |
1719 | |
1720 | However, note that the C<%where> hash can be used directly in any |
1721 | of the other functions as well, as described above. |
1722 | |
96449e8e |
1723 | =head2 Key-value pairs |
1724 | |
32eab2da |
1725 | So, let's get started. To begin, a simple hash: |
1726 | |
1727 | my %where = ( |
1728 | user => 'nwiger', |
1729 | status => 'completed' |
1730 | ); |
1731 | |
1732 | Is converted to SQL C<key = val> statements: |
1733 | |
1734 | $stmt = "WHERE user = ? AND status = ?"; |
1735 | @bind = ('nwiger', 'completed'); |
1736 | |
1737 | One common thing I end up doing is having a list of values that |
1738 | a field can be in. To do this, simply specify a list inside of |
1739 | an arrayref: |
1740 | |
1741 | my %where = ( |
1742 | user => 'nwiger', |
1743 | status => ['assigned', 'in-progress', 'pending']; |
1744 | ); |
1745 | |
1746 | This simple code will create the following: |
1747 | |
1748 | $stmt = "WHERE user = ? AND ( status = ? OR status = ? OR status = ? )"; |
1749 | @bind = ('nwiger', 'assigned', 'in-progress', 'pending'); |
1750 | |
7cac25e6 |
1751 | A field associated to an empty arrayref will be considered a |
1752 | logical false and will generate 0=1. |
8a68b5be |
1753 | |
6e0c6552 |
1754 | =head2 Specific comparison operators |
96449e8e |
1755 | |
32eab2da |
1756 | If you want to specify a different type of operator for your comparison, |
1757 | you can use a hashref for a given column: |
1758 | |
1759 | my %where = ( |
1760 | user => 'nwiger', |
1761 | status => { '!=', 'completed' } |
1762 | ); |
1763 | |
1764 | Which would generate: |
1765 | |
1766 | $stmt = "WHERE user = ? AND status != ?"; |
1767 | @bind = ('nwiger', 'completed'); |
1768 | |
1769 | To test against multiple values, just enclose the values in an arrayref: |
1770 | |
96449e8e |
1771 | status => { '=', ['assigned', 'in-progress', 'pending'] }; |
1772 | |
f2d5020d |
1773 | Which would give you: |
96449e8e |
1774 | |
1775 | "WHERE status = ? OR status = ? OR status = ?" |
1776 | |
1777 | |
1778 | The hashref can also contain multiple pairs, in which case it is expanded |
32eab2da |
1779 | into an C<AND> of its elements: |
1780 | |
1781 | my %where = ( |
1782 | user => 'nwiger', |
1783 | status => { '!=', 'completed', -not_like => 'pending%' } |
1784 | ); |
1785 | |
1786 | # Or more dynamically, like from a form |
1787 | $where{user} = 'nwiger'; |
1788 | $where{status}{'!='} = 'completed'; |
1789 | $where{status}{'-not_like'} = 'pending%'; |
1790 | |
1791 | # Both generate this |
1792 | $stmt = "WHERE user = ? AND status != ? AND status NOT LIKE ?"; |
1793 | @bind = ('nwiger', 'completed', 'pending%'); |
1794 | |
96449e8e |
1795 | |
32eab2da |
1796 | To get an OR instead, you can combine it with the arrayref idea: |
1797 | |
1798 | my %where => ( |
1799 | user => 'nwiger', |
1800 | priority => [ {'=', 2}, {'!=', 1} ] |
1801 | ); |
1802 | |
1803 | Which would generate: |
1804 | |
1805 | $stmt = "WHERE user = ? AND priority = ? OR priority != ?"; |
1806 | @bind = ('nwiger', '2', '1'); |
1807 | |
44b9e502 |
1808 | If you want to include literal SQL (with or without bind values), just use a |
1809 | scalar reference or array reference as the value: |
1810 | |
1811 | my %where = ( |
1812 | date_entered => { '>' => \["to_date(?, 'MM/DD/YYYY')", "11/26/2008"] }, |
1813 | date_expires => { '<' => \"now()" } |
1814 | ); |
1815 | |
1816 | Which would generate: |
1817 | |
1818 | $stmt = "WHERE date_entered > "to_date(?, 'MM/DD/YYYY') AND date_expires < now()"; |
1819 | @bind = ('11/26/2008'); |
1820 | |
96449e8e |
1821 | |
1822 | =head2 Logic and nesting operators |
1823 | |
1824 | In the example above, |
1825 | there is a subtle trap if you want to say something like |
32eab2da |
1826 | this (notice the C<AND>): |
1827 | |
1828 | WHERE priority != ? AND priority != ? |
1829 | |
1830 | Because, in Perl you I<can't> do this: |
1831 | |
1832 | priority => { '!=', 2, '!=', 1 } |
1833 | |
1834 | As the second C<!=> key will obliterate the first. The solution |
1835 | is to use the special C<-modifier> form inside an arrayref: |
1836 | |
96449e8e |
1837 | priority => [ -and => {'!=', 2}, |
1838 | {'!=', 1} ] |
1839 | |
32eab2da |
1840 | |
1841 | Normally, these would be joined by C<OR>, but the modifier tells it |
1842 | to use C<AND> instead. (Hint: You can use this in conjunction with the |
1843 | C<logic> option to C<new()> in order to change the way your queries |
1844 | work by default.) B<Important:> Note that the C<-modifier> goes |
1845 | B<INSIDE> the arrayref, as an extra first element. This will |
1846 | B<NOT> do what you think it might: |
1847 | |
1848 | priority => -and => [{'!=', 2}, {'!=', 1}] # WRONG! |
1849 | |
1850 | Here is a quick list of equivalencies, since there is some overlap: |
1851 | |
1852 | # Same |
1853 | status => {'!=', 'completed', 'not like', 'pending%' } |

1863 | =head2 Special operators : IN, BETWEEN, etc. |
1864 | |
32eab2da |
1865 | You can also use the hashref format to compare a list of fields using the |
1866 | C<IN> comparison operator, by specifying the list as an arrayref: |
1867 | |
1868 | my %where = ( |
1869 | status => 'completed', |
1870 | reportid => { -in => [567, 2335, 2] } |
1871 | ); |
1872 | |
1873 | Which would generate: |
1874 | |
1875 | $stmt = "WHERE status = ? AND reportid IN (?,?,?)"; |
1876 | @bind = ('completed', '567', '2335', '2'); |
1877 | |
96449e8e |
1878 | The reverse operator C<-not_in> generates SQL C<NOT IN> and is used in |
1879 | the same way. |
1880 | |
6e0c6552 |
1881 | If the argument to C<-in> is an empty array, 'sqlfalse' is generated |
1882 | (by default : C<1=0>). Similarly, C<< -not_in => [] >> generates |
1883 | 'sqltrue' (by default : C<1=1>). |
1884 | |
1885 | |
1886 | |
96449e8e |
1887 | Another pair of operators is C<-between> and C<-not_between>, |
1888 | used with an arrayref of two values: |
32eab2da |
1889 | |
1890 | my %where = ( |
1891 | user => 'nwiger', |
1892 | completion_date => { |
1893 | -not_between => ['2002-10-01', '2003-02-06'] |
1894 | } |
1895 | ); |
1896 | |
1897 | Would give you: |
1898 | |
1899 | WHERE user = ? AND completion_date NOT BETWEEN ( ? AND ? ) |
1900 | |
96449e8e |
1901 | These are the two builtin "special operators"; but the |
1902 | list can be expanded : see section L</"SPECIAL OPERATORS"> below. |
1903 | |
97a920ef |
1904 | =head2 Boolean operators |
1905 | |
1906 | If you wish to test against boolean columns or functions within your |
1907 | database you can use the C<-bool> and C<-not_bool> operators. For |
1908 | example to test the column C<is_user> being true and the column |
1909 | <is_enabled> being false you would use:- |
1910 | |
1911 | my %where = ( |
1912 | -bool => 'is_user', |
1913 | -not_bool => 'is_enabled', |
1914 | ); |
1915 | |
1916 | Would give you: |
1917 | |
1918 | WHERE is_user AND NOT is_enabledmv |
1919 | |
1920 | |
1921 | |
107b72f1 |
1922 | =head2 Nested conditions, -and/-or prefixes |
96449e8e |
1923 | |
32eab2da |
1924 | So far, we've seen how multiple conditions are joined with a top-level |
1925 | C<AND>. We can change this by putting the different conditions we want in |
1926 | hashes and then putting those hashes in an array. For example: |
1927 | |
1928 | my @where = ( |
1929 | { |
1930 | user => 'nwiger', |
1931 | status => { -like => ['pending%', 'dispatched'] }, |
1932 | }, |
1933 | { |
1934 | user => 'robot', |
1935 | status => 'unassigned', |
1936 | } |
1937 | ); |
1938 | |
1939 | This data structure would create the following: |
1940 | |
1941 | $stmt = "WHERE ( user = ? AND ( status LIKE ? OR status LIKE ? ) ) |
1942 | OR ( user = ? AND status = ? ) )"; |
1943 | @bind = ('nwiger', 'pending', 'dispatched', 'robot', 'unassigned'); |
1944 | |
107b72f1 |
1945 | |
01a01e57 |
1946 | There is also a special C<-nest> |
107b72f1 |
1947 | operator which adds an additional set of parens, to create a subquery. |
1948 | For example, to get something like this: |
1949 | |
1950 | $stmt = "WHERE user = ? AND ( workhrs > ? OR geo = ? )"; |
1951 | @bind = ('nwiger', '20', 'ASIA'); |
1952 | |
1953 | You would do: |
1954 | |
1955 | my %where = ( |
1956 | user => 'nwiger', |
01a01e57 |
1957 | -nest => [ workhrs => {'>', 20}, geo => 'ASIA' ], |
107b72f1 |
1958 | ); |
1959 | |
1960 | |
1961 | Finally, clauses in hashrefs or arrayrefs can be |
7cac25e6 |
1962 | prefixed with an C<-and> or C<-or> to change the logic |
1963 | inside : |
32eab2da |
1964 | |
1965 | my @where = ( |
1966 | -and => [ |
1967 | user => 'nwiger', |
01a01e57 |
1968 | -nest => [ |
7cac25e6 |
1969 | -and => [workhrs => {'>', 20}, geo => 'ASIA' ], |
1970 | -and => [workhrs => {'<', 50}, geo => 'EURO' ] |
32eab2da |
1971 | ], |
1972 | ], |
1973 | ); |
1974 | |
1975 | That would yield: |
1976 | |
1977 | WHERE ( user = ? AND |
1978 | ( ( workhrs > ? AND geo = ? ) |
1979 | OR ( workhrs < ? AND geo = ? ) ) ) |
1980 | |
107b72f1 |
1981 | |
1982 | =head2 Algebraic inconsistency, for historical reasons |
1983 | |
7cac25e6 |
1984 | C<Important note>: when connecting several conditions, the C<-and->|C<-or> |
1985 | operator goes C<outside> of the nested structure; whereas when connecting |
1986 | several constraints on one column, the C<-and> operator goes |
1987 | C<inside> the arrayref. Here is an example combining both features : |
1988 | |
1989 | my @where = ( |
1990 | -and => [a => 1, b => 2], |
1991 | -or => [c => 3, d => 4], |
1992 | e => [-and => {-like => 'foo%'}, {-like => '%bar'} ] |
1993 | ) |
1994 | |
1995 | yielding |
1996 | |
1997 | WHERE ( ( ( a = ? AND b = ? ) |
1998 | OR ( c = ? OR d = ? ) |
1999 | OR ( e LIKE ? AND e LIKE ? ) ) ) |
2000 | |
107b72f1 |
2001 | This difference in syntax is unfortunate but must be preserved for |
2002 | historical reasons. So be careful : the two examples below would |
2003 | seem algebraically equivalent, but they are not |
2004 | |
2005 | {col => [-and => {-like => 'foo%'}, {-like => '%bar'}]} |
2006 | # yields : WHERE ( ( col LIKE ? AND col LIKE ? ) ) |
2007 | |
2008 | [-and => {col => {-like => 'foo%'}, {col => {-like => '%bar'}}]] |
2009 | # yields : WHERE ( ( col LIKE ? OR col LIKE ? ) ) |
2010 | |
7cac25e6 |
2011 | |
96449e8e |
2012 | =head2 Literal SQL |
2013 | |
32eab2da |
2014 | Finally, sometimes only literal SQL will do. If you want to include |
2015 | literal SQL verbatim, you can specify it as a scalar reference, namely: |
2016 | |
2017 | my $inn = 'is Not Null'; |
2018 | my %where = ( |
2019 | priority => { '<', 2 }, |
2020 | requestor => \$inn |
2021 | ); |
2022 | |
2023 | This would create: |
2024 | |
2025 | $stmt = "WHERE priority < ? AND requestor is Not Null"; |
2026 | @bind = ('2'); |
2027 | |
2028 | Note that in this example, you only get one bind parameter back, since |
2029 | the verbatim SQL is passed as part of the statement. |
2030 | |
2031 | Of course, just to prove a point, the above can also be accomplished |
2032 | with this: |
2033 | |
2034 | my %where = ( |
2035 | priority => { '<', 2 }, |
2036 | requestor => { '!=', undef }, |
2037 | ); |
2038 | |
96449e8e |
2039 | |
32eab2da |
2040 | TMTOWTDI. |
2041 | |
96449e8e |
2042 | Conditions on boolean columns can be expressed in the |
2043 | same way, passing a reference to an empty string : |
2044 | |
2045 | my %where = ( |
2046 | priority => { '<', 2 }, |
2047 | is_ready => \""; |
2048 | ); |
2049 | |
2050 | which yields |
2051 | |
2052 | $stmt = "WHERE priority < ? AND is_ready"; |
2053 | @bind = ('2'); |
2054 | |
2055 | |
2056 | =head2 Literal SQL with placeholders and bind values (subqueries) |
2057 | |
2058 | If the literal SQL to be inserted has placeholders and bind values, |
2059 | use a reference to an arrayref (yes this is a double reference -- |
2060 | not so common, but perfectly legal Perl). For example, to find a date |
2061 | in Postgres you can use something like this: |
2062 | |
2063 | my %where = ( |
2064 | date_column => \[q/= date '2008-09-30' - ?::integer/, 10/] |
2065 | ) |
2066 | |
2067 | This would create: |
2068 | |
d2a8fe1a |
2069 | $stmt = "WHERE ( date_column = date '2008-09-30' - ?::integer )" |
96449e8e |
2070 | @bind = ('10'); |
2071 | |
deb148a2 |
2072 | Note that you must pass the bind values in the same format as they are returned |
62552e7d |
2073 | by L</where>. That means that if you set L</bindtype> to C<columns>, you must |
26f2dca5 |
2074 | provide the bind values in the C<< [ column_meta => value ] >> format, where |
2075 | C<column_meta> is an opaque scalar value; most commonly the column name, but |
62552e7d |
2076 | you can use any scalar value (including references and blessed references), |
2077 | L<SQL::Abstract> will simply pass it through intact. So if C<bindtype> is set |
2078 | to C<columns> the above example will look like: |
deb148a2 |
2079 | |
2080 | my %where = ( |
2081 | date_column => \[q/= date '2008-09-30' - ?::integer/, [ dummy => 10 ]/] |
2082 | ) |
96449e8e |
2083 | |
2084 | Literal SQL is especially useful for nesting parenthesized clauses in the |
2085 | main SQL query. Here is a first example : |
2086 | |
2087 | my ($sub_stmt, @sub_bind) = ("SELECT c1 FROM t1 WHERE c2 < ? AND c3 LIKE ?", |
2088 | 100, "foo%"); |
2089 | my %where = ( |
2090 | foo => 1234, |
2091 | bar => \["IN ($sub_stmt)" => @sub_bind], |
2092 | ); |
2093 | |
2094 | This yields : |
2095 | |
2096 | $stmt = "WHERE (foo = ? AND bar IN (SELECT c1 FROM t1 |
2097 | WHERE c2 < ? AND c3 LIKE ?))"; |
2098 | @bind = (1234, 100, "foo%"); |
2099 | |
2100 | Other subquery operators, like for example C<"E<gt> ALL"> or C<"NOT IN">, |
2101 | are expressed in the same way. Of course the C<$sub_stmt> and |
2102 | its associated bind values can be generated through a former call |
2103 | to C<select()> : |
2104 | |
2105 | my ($sub_stmt, @sub_bind) |
2106 | = $sql->select("t1", "c1", {c2 => {"<" => 100}, |
2107 | c3 => {-like => "foo%"}}); |
2108 | my %where = ( |
2109 | foo => 1234, |
2110 | bar => \["> ALL ($sub_stmt)" => @sub_bind], |
2111 | ); |
2112 | |
2113 | In the examples above, the subquery was used as an operator on a column; |
2114 | but the same principle also applies for a clause within the main C<%where> |
2115 | hash, like an EXISTS subquery : |
2116 | |
2117 | my ($sub_stmt, @sub_bind) |
2118 | = $sql->select("t1", "*", {c1 => 1, c2 => \"> t0.c0"}); |
2119 | my %where = ( |
2120 | foo => 1234, |
01a01e57 |
2121 | -nest => \["EXISTS ($sub_stmt)" => @sub_bind], |
96449e8e |
2122 | ); |
2123 | |
2124 | which yields |
2125 | |
2126 | $stmt = "WHERE (foo = ? AND EXISTS (SELECT * FROM t1 |
2127 | WHERE c1 = ? AND c2 > t0.c0))"; |
2128 | @bind = (1234, 1); |
2129 | |
2130 | |
2131 | Observe that the condition on C<c2> in the subquery refers to |
2132 | column C<t0.c0> of the main query : this is I<not> a bind |
2133 | value, so we have to express it through a scalar ref. |
2134 | Writing C<< c2 => {">" => "t0.c0"} >> would have generated |
2135 | C<< c2 > ? >> with bind value C<"t0.c0"> ... not exactly |
2136 | what we wanted here. |
2137 | |
2138 | Another use of the subquery technique is when some SQL clauses need |
2139 | parentheses, as it often occurs with some proprietary SQL extensions |
2140 | like for example fulltext expressions, geospatial expressions, |
2141 | NATIVE clauses, etc. Here is an example of a fulltext query in MySQL : |
2142 | |
2143 | my %where = ( |
01a01e57 |
2144 | -nest => \["MATCH (col1, col2) AGAINST (?)" => qw/apples/] |
96449e8e |
2145 | ); |
2146 | |
2147 | Finally, here is an example where a subquery is used |
2148 | for expressing unary negation: |
2149 | |
2150 | my ($sub_stmt, @sub_bind) |
2151 | = $sql->where({age => [{"<" => 10}, {">" => 20}]}); |
2152 | $sub_stmt =~ s/^ where //i; # don't want "WHERE" in the subclause |
2153 | my %where = ( |
2154 | lname => {like => '%son%'}, |
01a01e57 |
2155 | -nest => \["NOT ($sub_stmt)" => @sub_bind], |
96449e8e |
2156 | ); |
2157 | |
2158 | This yields |
2159 | |
2160 | $stmt = "lname LIKE ? AND NOT ( age < ? OR age > ? )" |
2161 | @bind = ('%son%', 10, 20) |
2162 | |
2163 | |
2164 | |
2165 | =head2 Conclusion |
2166 | |
32eab2da |
2167 | These pages could go on for a while, since the nesting of the data |
2168 | structures this module can handle are pretty much unlimited (the |
2169 | module implements the C<WHERE> expansion as a recursive function |
2170 | internally). Your best bet is to "play around" with the module a |
2171 | little to see how the data structures behave, and choose the best |
2172 | format for your data based on that. |
2173 | |
2174 | And of course, all the values above will probably be replaced with |
2175 | variables gotten from forms or the command line. After all, if you |
2176 | knew everything ahead of time, you wouldn't have to worry about |
2177 | dynamically-generating SQL and could just hardwire it into your |
2178 | script. |

2215 | =head1 SPECIAL OPERATORS |
2216 | |
e3f9dff4 |
2217 | my $sqlmaker = SQL::Abstract->new(special_ops => [ |
3a2e1a5e |
2218 | { |
2219 | regex => qr/.../, |
e3f9dff4 |
2220 | handler => sub { |
2221 | my ($self, $field, $op, $arg) = @_; |
2222 | ... |
3a2e1a5e |
2223 | }, |
2224 | }, |
2225 | { |
2226 | regex => qr/.../, |
2227 | handler => 'method_name', |
e3f9dff4 |
2228 | }, |
2229 | ]); |
2230 | |
2231 | A "special operator" is a SQL syntactic clause that can be |
2232 | applied to a field, instead of a usual binary operator. |
2233 | For example : |
2234 | |
2235 | WHERE field IN (?, ?, ?) |
2236 | WHERE field BETWEEN ? AND ? |
2237 | WHERE MATCH(field) AGAINST (?, ?) |
96449e8e |
2238 | |
e3f9dff4 |
2239 | Special operators IN and BETWEEN are fairly standard and therefore |
3a2e1a5e |
2240 | are builtin within C<SQL::Abstract> (as the overridable methods |
2241 | C<_where_field_IN> and C<_where_field_BETWEEN>). For other operators, |
2242 | like the MATCH .. AGAINST example above which is specific to MySQL, |
2243 | you can write your own operator handlers - supply a C<special_ops> |
2244 | argument to the C<new> method. That argument takes an arrayref of |
2245 | operator definitions; each operator definition is a hashref with two |
2246 | entries: |
96449e8e |
2247 | |
e3f9dff4 |
2248 | =over |
2249 | |
2250 | =item regex |
2251 | |
2252 | the regular expression to match the operator |
96449e8e |
2253 | |
e3f9dff4 |
2254 | =item handler |
2255 | |
3a2e1a5e |
2256 | Either a coderef or a plain scalar method name. In both cases |
2257 | the expected return is C<< ($sql, @bind) >>. |
2258 | |
2259 | When supplied with a method name, it is simply called on the |
2260 | L<SQL::Abstract/> object as: |
2261 | |
2262 | $self->$method_name ($field, $op, $arg) |
2263 | |
2264 | Where: |
2265 | |
2266 | $op is the part that matched the handler regex |
2267 | $field is the LHS of the operator |
2268 | $arg is the RHS |
2269 | |
2270 | When supplied with a coderef, it is called as: |
2271 | |
2272 | $coderef->($self, $field, $op, $arg) |
2273 | |
e3f9dff4 |
2274 | |
2275 | =back |
2276 | |
2277 | For example, here is an implementation |
2278 | of the MATCH .. AGAINST syntax for MySQL |
2279 | |
2280 | my $sqlmaker = SQL::Abstract->new(special_ops => [ |
2281 | |
2282 | # special op for MySql MATCH (field) AGAINST(word1, word2, ...) |
2283 | {regex => qr/^match$/i, |
2284 | handler => sub { |
2285 | my ($self, $field, $op, $arg) = @_; |
2286 | $arg = [$arg] if not ref $arg; |
2287 | my $label = $self->_quote($field); |
2288 | my ($placeholder) = $self->_convert('?'); |
2289 | my $placeholders = join ", ", (($placeholder) x @$arg); |
2290 | my $sql = $self->_sqlcase('match') . " ($label) " |
2291 | . $self->_sqlcase('against') . " ($placeholders) "; |
2292 | my @bind = $self->_bindtype($field, @$arg); |
2293 | return ($sql, @bind); |
2294 | } |
2295 | }, |
2296 | |

2302 | Thanks to some benchmarking by Mark Stosberg, it turns out that |
2303 | this module is many orders of magnitude faster than using C<DBIx::Abstract>. |
2304 | I must admit this wasn't an intentional design issue, but it's a |
2305 | byproduct of the fact that you get to control your C<DBI> handles |
2306 | yourself. |
2307 | |
2308 | To maximize performance, use a code snippet like the following: |
2309 | |
2310 | # prepare a statement handle using the first row |
2311 | # and then reuse it for the rest of the rows |
2312 | my($sth, $stmt); |
2313 | for my $href (@array_of_hashrefs) { |
2314 | $stmt ||= $sql->insert('table', $href); |
2315 | $sth ||= $dbh->prepare($stmt); |
2316 | $sth->execute($sql->values($href)); |
2317 | } |
2318 | |
2319 | The reason this works is because the keys in your C<$href> are sorted |
2320 | internally by B<SQL::Abstract>. Thus, as long as your data retains |
2321 | the same structure, you only have to generate the SQL the first time |
2322 | around. On subsequent queries, simply use the C<values> function provided |
2323 | by this module to return your values in the correct order. |

2326 | =head1 FORMBUILDER |
2327 | |
2328 | If you use my C<CGI::FormBuilder> module at all, you'll hopefully |
2329 | really like this part (I do, at least). Building up a complex query |
2330 | can be as simple as the following: |
2331 | |
2332 | #!/usr/bin/perl |
2333 | |
2334 | use CGI::FormBuilder; |
2335 | use SQL::Abstract; |
2336 | |
2337 | my $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new(...); |
2338 | my $sql = SQL::Abstract->new; |
2339 | |
2340 | if ($form->submitted) { |
2341 | my $field = $form->field; |
2342 | my $id = delete $field->{id}; |
2343 | my($stmt, @bind) = $sql->update('table', $field, {id => $id}); |
2344 | } |
2345 | |
2346 | Of course, you would still have to connect using C<DBI> to run the |
2347 | query, but the point is that if you make your form look like your |
2348 | table, the actual query script can be extremely simplistic. |
2349 | |
2350 | If you're B<REALLY> lazy (I am), check out C<HTML::QuickTable> for |
2351 | a fast interface to returning and formatting data. I frequently |
2352 | use these three modules together to write complex database query |
2353 | apps in under 50 lines. |

2356 | =head1 CHANGES |
2357 | |
2358 | Version 1.50 was a major internal refactoring of C<SQL::Abstract>. |
2359 | Great care has been taken to preserve the I<published> behavior |
2360 | documented in previous versions in the 1.* family; however, |
2361 | some features that were previously undocumented, or behaved |
2362 | differently from the documentation, had to be changed in order |
2363 | to clarify the semantics. Hence, client code that was relying |
2364 | on some dark areas of C<SQL::Abstract> v1.* |
2365 | B<might behave differently> in v1.50. |

2380 | |
9c37b9c0 |
2381 | support for the { operator => \["...", @bind] } construct (to embed literal SQL with bind values) |
2382 | |
2383 | =item * |
2384 | |
96449e8e |
2385 | optional support for L<array datatypes|/"Inserting and Updating Arrays"> |

2387 | =item * |
2388 | |
2389 | defensive programming : check arguments |
2390 | |
2391 | =item * |
2392 | |
2393 | fixed bug with global logic, which was previously implemented |
7cac25e6 |
2394 | through global variables yielding side-effects. Prior versions would |
96449e8e |
2395 | interpret C<< [ {cond1, cond2}, [cond3, cond4] ] >> |
2396 | as C<< "(cond1 AND cond2) OR (cond3 AND cond4)" >>. |
2397 | Now this is interpreted |
2398 | as C<< "(cond1 AND cond2) OR (cond3 OR cond4)" >>. |
2399 | |
96449e8e |
2400 | |
2401 | =item * |
2402 | |
2403 | fixed semantics of _bindtype on array args |
2404 | |
2405 | =item * |
2406 | |
2407 | dropped the C<_anoncopy> of the %where tree. No longer necessary, |
2408 | we just avoid shifting arrays within that tree. |
2409 | |
2410 | =item * |
2411 | |
2412 | dropped the C<_modlogic> function |

2449 | For support, your best bet is to try the C<DBIx::Class> users mailing list. |
2450 | While not an official support venue, C<DBIx::Class> makes heavy use of |
2451 | C<SQL::Abstract>, and as such list members there are very familiar with |
2452 | how to create queries. |
