=head1 NAME

DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI - DBI storage handler

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  my $schema = MySchema->connect('dbi:SQLite:my.db');

  $schema->storage->debug(1);
  $schema->dbh_do("DROP TABLE authors");

  $schema->resultset('Book')->search({
     written_on => $schema->storage->datetime_parser(DateTime->now)
  });

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class represents the connection to an RDBMS via L<DBI>.  See
L<DBIx::Class::Storage> for general information.  This pod only
documents DBI-specific methods and behaviors.

=head1 METHODS

=cut

sub new {
  my $new = shift->next::method(@_);

  $new->transaction_depth(0);
  $new->_sql_maker_opts({});
  $new->{savepoints} = [];
  $new->{_in_dbh_do} = 0;
  $new->{_dbh_gen} = 0;

  $new;
}

=head2 connect_info

This method is normally called by L<DBIx::Class::Schema/connection>, which
encapsulates its argument list in an arrayref before passing them here.

The argument list may contain:

=over

=item *

The same 4-element argument set one would normally pass to
L<DBI/connect>, optionally followed by
L<extra attributes|/DBIx::Class specific connection attributes>
recognized by DBIx::Class:

  $connect_info_args = [ $dsn, $user, $password, \%dbi_attributes?, \%extra_attributes? ];

=item *

A single code reference which returns a connected
L<DBI database handle|DBI/connect> optionally followed by
L<extra attributes|/DBIx::Class specific connection attributes> recognized
by DBIx::Class:

  $connect_info_args = [ sub { DBI->connect (...) }, \%extra_attributes? ];

=item *

A single hashref with all the attributes and the dsn/user/password
mixed together:

  $connect_info_args = [{
    dsn => $dsn,
    user => $user,
    password => $pass,
    %dbi_attributes,
    %extra_attributes,
  }];

  $connect_info_args = [{
    dbh_maker => sub { DBI->connect (...) },
    %dbi_attributes,
    %extra_attributes,
  }];

This is particularly useful for L<Catalyst> based applications, allowing the
following config (L<Config::General> style):

  <Model::DB>
    schema_class   App::DB
    <connect_info>
      dsn          dbi:mysql:database=test
      user         testuser
      password     TestPass
      AutoCommit   1
    </connect_info>
  </Model::DB>

The C<dsn>/C<user>/C<password> combination can be substituted by the
C<dbh_maker> key whose value is a coderef that returns a connected
L<DBI database handle|DBI/connect>

=back

Please note that the L<DBI> docs recommend that you always explicitly
set C<AutoCommit> to either I<0> or I<1>.  L<DBIx::Class> further
recommends that it be set to I<1>, and that you perform transactions
via our L<DBIx::Class::Schema/txn_do> method.  L<DBIx::Class> will set it
to I<1> if you do not do explicitly set it to zero.  This is the default
for most DBDs. See L</DBIx::Class and AutoCommit> for details.

=head3 DBIx::Class specific connection attributes

In addition to the standard L<DBI|DBI/ATTRIBUTES_COMMON_TO_ALL_HANDLES>
L<connection|DBI/Database_Handle_Attributes> attributes, DBIx::Class recognizes
the following connection options. These options can be mixed in with your other
L<DBI> connection attributes, or placed in a seperate hashref
(C<\%extra_attributes>) as shown above.

Every time C<connect_info> is invoked, any previous settings for
these options will be cleared before setting the new ones, regardless of
whether any options are specified in the new C<connect_info>.


=over

=item on_connect_do

Specifies things to do immediately after connecting or re-connecting to
the database.  Its value may contain:

=over

=item a scalar

This contains one SQL statement to execute.

=item an array reference

This contains SQL statements to execute in order.  Each element contains
a string or a code reference that returns a string.

=item a code reference

This contains some code to execute.  Unlike code references within an
array reference, its return value is ignored.

=back

=item on_disconnect_do

Takes arguments in the same form as L</on_connect_do> and executes them
immediately before disconnecting from the database.

Note, this only runs if you explicitly call L</disconnect> on the
storage object.

=item on_connect_call

A more generalized form of L</on_connect_do> that calls the specified
C<connect_call_METHOD> methods in your storage driver.

  on_connect_do => 'select 1'

is equivalent to:

  on_connect_call => [ [ do_sql => 'select 1' ] ]

Its values may contain:

=over

=item a scalar

Will call the C<connect_call_METHOD> method.

=item a code reference

Will execute C<< $code->($storage) >>

=item an array reference

Each value can be a method name or code reference.

=item an array of arrays

For each array, the first item is taken to be the C<connect_call_> method name
or code reference, and the rest are parameters to it.

=back

Some predefined storage methods you may use:

=over

=item do_sql

Executes a SQL string or a code reference that returns a SQL string. This is
what L</on_connect_do> and L</on_disconnect_do> use.

It can take:

=over

=item a scalar

Will execute the scalar as SQL.

=item an arrayref

Taken to be arguments to L<DBI/do>, the SQL string optionally followed by the
attributes hashref and bind values.

=item a code reference

Will execute C<< $code->($storage) >> and execute the return array refs as
above.

=back

=item datetime_setup

Execute any statements necessary to initialize the database session to return
and accept datetime/timestamp values used with
L<DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime>.

Only necessary for some databases, see your specific storage driver for
implementation details.

=back

=item on_disconnect_call

Takes arguments in the same form as L</on_connect_call> and executes them
immediately before disconnecting from the database.

Calls the C<disconnect_call_METHOD> methods as opposed to the
C<connect_call_METHOD> methods called by L</on_connect_call>.

Note, this only runs if you explicitly call L</disconnect> on the
storage object.

=item disable_sth_caching

If set to a true value, this option will disable the caching of
statement handles via L<DBI/prepare_cached>.

=item limit_dialect

Sets the limit dialect. This is useful for JDBC-bridge among others
where the remote SQL-dialect cannot be determined by the name of the
driver alone. See also L<SQL::Abstract::Limit>.

=item quote_char

Specifies what characters to use to quote table and column names. If
you use this you will want to specify L</name_sep> as well.

C<quote_char> expects either a single character, in which case is it
is placed on either side of the table/column name, or an arrayref of length
2 in which case the table/column name is placed between the elements.

For example under MySQL you should use C<< quote_char => '`' >>, and for
SQL Server you should use C<< quote_char => [qw/[ ]/] >>.

=item name_sep

This only needs to be used in conjunction with C<quote_char>, and is used to
specify the charecter that seperates elements (schemas, tables, columns) from
each other. In most cases this is simply a C<.>.

The consequences of not supplying this value is that L<SQL::Abstract>
will assume DBIx::Class' uses of aliases to be complete column
names. The output will look like I<"me.name"> when it should actually
be I<"me"."name">.

=item unsafe

This Storage driver normally installs its own C<HandleError>, sets
C<RaiseError> and C<ShowErrorStatement> on, and sets C<PrintError> off on
all database handles, including those supplied by a coderef.  It does this
so that it can have consistent and useful error behavior.

If you set this option to a true value, Storage will not do its usual
modifications to the database handle's attributes, and instead relies on
the settings in your connect_info DBI options (or the values you set in
your connection coderef, in the case that you are connecting via coderef).

Note that your custom settings can cause Storage to malfunction,
especially if you set a C<HandleError> handler that suppresses exceptions
and/or disable C<RaiseError>.

=item auto_savepoint

If this option is true, L<DBIx::Class> will use savepoints when nesting
transactions, making it possible to recover from failure in the inner
transaction without having to abort all outer transactions.

=item cursor_class

Use this argument to supply a cursor class other than the default
L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Cursor>.

=head2 dbh_do

Arguments: ($subref | $method_name), @extra_coderef_args?

Execute the given $subref or $method_name using the new exception-based
connection management.

The first two arguments will be the storage object that C<dbh_do> was called
on and a database handle to use.  Any additional arguments will be passed
verbatim to the called subref as arguments 2 and onwards.

Using this (instead of $self->_dbh or $self->dbh) ensures correct
exception handling and reconnection (or failover in future subclasses).

Your subref should have no side-effects outside of the database, as
there is the potential for your subref to be partially double-executed
if the database connection was stale/dysfunctional.

Example:

  my @stuff = $schema->storage->dbh_do(
    sub {
      my ($storage, $dbh, @cols) = @_;
      my $cols = join(q{, }, @cols);

The default implementation returns C<undef>, implement in your Storage driver if

Should map types from other databases to the native RDBMS type, for example
C<VARCHAR2> to C<VARCHAR>.

Types with modifiers should map to the underlying data type. For example,

=item Arguments: $schema \@databases, $version, $directory, $preversion, \%sqlt_args

=back

Creates a SQL file based on the Schema, for each of the specified
database engines in C<\@databases> in the given directory.
(note: specify L<SQL::Translator> names, not L<DBI> driver names).

Given a previous version number, this will also create a file containing
the ALTER TABLE statements to transform the previous schema into the
current one. Note that these statements may contain C<DROP TABLE> or
C<DROP COLUMN> statements that can potentially destroy data.

The file names are created using the C<ddl_filename> method below, please
override this method in your schema if you would like a different file
name format. For the ALTER file, the same format is used, replacing
$version in the name with "$preversion-$version".

See L<SQL::Translator/METHODS> for a list of values for C<\%sqlt_args>.
The most common value for this would be C<< { add_drop_table => 1 } >>
to have the SQL produced include a C<DROP TABLE> statement for each table
created. For quoting purposes supply C<quote_table_names> and
C<quote_field_names>.

If no arguments are passed, then the following default values are assumed:

=over 4

=item databases  - ['MySQL', 'SQLite', 'PostgreSQL']

=item version    - $schema->schema_version

=item directory  - './'

merged with the hash passed in. To disable any of those features, pass in a
hashref like the following

Returns the statements used by L</deploy> and L<DBIx::Class::Schema/deploy>.

The L<SQL::Translator> (not L<DBI>) database driver name can be explicitly
provided in C<$type>, otherwise the result of L</sqlt_type> is used as default.

C<$directory> is used to return statements from files in a previously created
L</create_ddl_dir> directory and is optional. The filenames are constructed
from L<DBIx::Class::Schema/ddl_filename>, the schema name and the C<$version>.

If no C<$directory> is specified then the statements are constructed on the
fly using L<SQL::Translator> and C<$version> is ignored.

See L<SQL::Translator/METHODS> for a list of values for C<$sqlt_args>.

=head1 USAGE NOTES

=head2 DBIx::Class and AutoCommit

DBIx::Class can do some wonderful magic with handling exceptions,
disconnections, and transactions when you use C<< AutoCommit => 1 >>
(the default) combined with C<txn_do> for transaction support.

If you set C<< AutoCommit => 0 >> in your connect info, then you are always
in an assumed transaction between commits, and you're telling us you'd
like to manage that manually.  A lot of the magic protections offered by
this module will go away.  We can't protect you from exceptions due to database
disconnects because we don't know anything about how to restart your
transactions.  You're on your own for handling all sorts of exceptional
cases if you choose the C<< AutoCommit => 0 >> path, just as you would
be with raw DBI.
