@bind = ('2', '5', 'nwiger');
If you want to include literal SQL (with or without bind values), just use a
-scalar reference or array reference as the value:
+scalar reference or reference to an arrayref as the value:
my %where = (
date_entered => { '>' => \["to_date(?, 'MM/DD/YYYY')", "11/26/2008"] },
Which would generate:
- $stmt = "WHERE date_entered > "to_date(?, 'MM/DD/YYYY') AND date_expires < now()";
+ $stmt = "WHERE date_entered > to_date(?, 'MM/DD/YYYY') AND date_expires < now()";
@bind = ('11/26/2008');
Because, in Perl you I<can't> do this:
- priority => { '!=', 2, '!=', 1 }
+ priority => { '!=' => 2, '!=' => 1 }
As the second C<!=> key will obliterate the first. The solution
is to use the special C<-modifier> form inside an arrayref:
)";
@bind = ('2000');
-
+Finally, if the argument to C<-in> is not a reference, it will be
+treated as a single-element array.
Another pair of operators is C<-between> and C<-not_between>,
used with an arrayref of two values:
my %where = (
-and => [
-bool => 'one',
- -bool => 'two',
- -bool => 'three',
- -not_bool => 'four',
+ -not_bool => { two=> { -rlike => 'bar' } },
+ -not_bool => { three => [ { '=', 2 }, { '>', 5 } ] },
],
);
Would give you:
- WHERE one AND two AND three AND NOT four
+ WHERE
+ one
+ AND
+ (NOT two RLIKE ?)
+ AND
+ (NOT ( three = ? OR three > ? ))
=head2 Nested conditions, -and/-or prefixes
That would yield:
- WHERE ( user = ? AND (
- ( workhrs > ? AND geo = ? )
- OR ( workhrs < ? OR geo = ? )
- ) )
+ $stmt = "WHERE ( user = ?
+ AND ( ( workhrs > ? AND geo = ? )
+ OR ( workhrs < ? OR geo = ? ) ) )";
+ @bind = ('nwiger', '20', 'ASIA', '50', 'EURO');
=head3 Algebraic inconsistency, for historical reasons
array => [1, 2, 3]
);
-the result would porbably be not what you wanted:
+the result would probably not be what you wanted:
$stmt = 'WHERE array = ? OR array = ? OR array = ?';
@bind = (1, 2, 3);
in Postgres you can use something like this:
my %where = (
- date_column => \[q/= date '2008-09-30' - ?::integer/, 10/]
+ date_column => \[ "= date '2008-09-30' - ?::integer", 10 ]
)
This would create:
@bind = ('10');
Note that you must pass the bind values in the same format as they are returned
-by L</where>. That means that if you set L</bindtype> to C<columns>, you must
-provide the bind values in the C<< [ column_meta => value ] >> format, where
-C<column_meta> is an opaque scalar value; most commonly the column name, but
-you can use any scalar value (including references and blessed references),
-L<SQL::Abstract> will simply pass it through intact. So if C<bindtype> is set
-to C<columns> the above example will look like:
+by L<where|/where(\%where, \@order)>. This means that if you set L</bindtype>
+to C<columns>, you must provide the bind values in the
+C<< [ column_meta => value ] >> format, where C<column_meta> is an opaque
+scalar value; most commonly the column name, but you can use any scalar value
+(including references and blessed references), L<SQL::Abstract> will simply
+pass it through intact. So if C<bindtype> is set to C<columns> the above
+example will look like:
my %where = (
- date_column => \[q/= date '2008-09-30' - ?::integer/, [ dummy => 10 ]/]
+ date_column => \[ "= date '2008-09-30' - ?::integer", [ {} => 10 ] ]
)
Literal SQL is especially useful for nesting parenthesized clauses in the
Some functions take an order by clause. This can either be a scalar (just a
column name,) a hash of C<< { -desc => 'col' } >> or C<< { -asc => 'col' } >>,
-optionally with C<< -nulls => 'first' >> or C<< -nulls => 'last' >>,
or an array of either of the two previous forms. Examples:
Given | Will Generate
|
{-desc => 'colB'} | ORDER BY colB DESC
|
- { |
- -asc => 'colA', | ORDER BY colA ASC NULLS LAST
- -nulls => 'last', |
- } |
- |
['colA', {-asc => 'colB'}] | ORDER BY colA, colB ASC
|
{ -asc => [qw/colA colB/] } | ORDER BY colA ASC, colB ASC
|
- { |
- -asc => [qw/colA colB/] | ORDER BY colA ASC NULLS FIRST,
- -nulls => 'first' | colB ASC NULLS FIRST
- } |
- |
[ |
{ -asc => 'colA' }, | ORDER BY colA ASC, colB DESC,
{ -desc => [qw/colB/], | colC ASC, colD ASC
