These are the two builtin "special operators"; but the
list can be expanded : see section L</"SPECIAL OPERATORS"> below.
+=head2 Boolean operators
+
+If you wish to test against boolean columns or functions within your
+database you can use the C<-bool> and C<-not_bool> operators. For
+example to test the column C<is_user> being true and the column
+<is_enabled> being false you would use:-
+
+ my %where = (
+ -bool => 'is_user',
+ -not_bool => 'is_enabled',
+ );
+
+Would give you:
+
+ WHERE is_user AND NOT is_enabledmv
+
+
+
=head2 Nested conditions, -and/-or prefixes
So far, we've seen how multiple conditions are joined with a top-level
@bind = ('nwiger', 'pending', 'dispatched', 'robot', 'unassigned');
-There is also a special C<-paren>
+There is also a special C<-nest>
operator which adds an additional set of parens, to create a subquery.
For example, to get something like this:
my %where = (
user => 'nwiger',
- -paren => [ workhrs => {'>', 20}, geo => 'ASIA' ],
+ -nest => [ workhrs => {'>', 20}, geo => 'ASIA' ],
);
my @where = (
-and => [
user => 'nwiger',
- -paren => [
+ -nest => [
-and => [workhrs => {'>', 20}, geo => 'ASIA' ],
-and => [workhrs => {'<', 50}, geo => 'EURO' ]
],
= $sql->select("t1", "*", {c1 => 1, c2 => \"> t0.c0"});
my %where = (
foo => 1234,
- -paren => \["EXISTS ($sub_stmt)" => @sub_bind],
+ -nest => \["EXISTS ($sub_stmt)" => @sub_bind],
);
which yields
NATIVE clauses, etc. Here is an example of a fulltext query in MySQL :
my %where = (
- -paren => \["MATCH (col1, col2) AGAINST (?)" => qw/apples/]
+ -nest => \["MATCH (col1, col2) AGAINST (?)" => qw/apples/]
);
Finally, here is an example where a subquery is used
$sub_stmt =~ s/^ where //i; # don't want "WHERE" in the subclause
my %where = (
lname => {like => '%son%'},
- -paren => \["NOT ($sub_stmt)" => @sub_bind],
+ -nest => \["NOT ($sub_stmt)" => @sub_bind],
);
This yields

my $sqlmaker = SQL::Abstract->new(special_ops => [

WHERE MATCH(field) AGAINST (?, ?)
Special operators IN and BETWEEN are fairly standard and therefore
-are builtin within C<SQL::Abstract>. For other operators,
-like the MATCH .. AGAINST example above which is
-specific to MySQL, you can write your own operator handlers :
-supply a C<special_ops> argument to the C<new> method.
-That argument takes an arrayref of operator definitions;
-each operator definition is a hashref with two entries
+are builtin within C<SQL::Abstract> (as the overridable methods
+C<_where_field_IN> and C<_where_field_BETWEEN>). For other operators,
+like the MATCH .. AGAINST example above which is specific to MySQL,
+you can write your own operator handlers - supply a C<special_ops>
+argument to the C<new> method. That argument takes an arrayref of
+operator definitions; each operator definition is a hashref with two
+entries:
=over
=item handler
-coderef that will be called when meeting that operator
-in the input tree. The coderef will be called with
-arguments C<< ($self, $field, $op, $arg) >>, and
-should return a C<< ($sql, @bind) >> structure.
+Either a coderef or a plain scalar method name. In both cases
+the expected return is C<< ($sql, @bind) >>.
+
+When supplied with a method name, it is simply called on the
+L<SQL::Abstract/> object as:
+
+ $self->$method_name ($field, $op, $arg)
+
+ Where:
+
+ $op is the part that matched the handler regex
+ $field is the LHS of the operator
+ $arg is the RHS
+
+When supplied with a coderef, it is called as:
+
+ $coderef->($self, $field, $op, $arg)
