=head2 Introduction
$stmt = "WHERE user = ? AND status IS NULL";
@bind = ('nwiger');
+To test if a column IS NOT NULL:
+
+ my %where = (
+ user => 'nwiger',
+ status => { '!=', undef },
+ );
+
=head2 Specific comparison operators
If you want to specify a different type of operator for your comparison,
my %where => (
user => 'nwiger',
- priority => [ {'=', 2}, {'!=', 1} ]
+ priority => [ { '=', 2 }, { '>', 5 } ]
);
Which would generate:
- $stmt = "WHERE user = ? AND priority = ? OR priority != ?";
- @bind = ('nwiger', '2', '1');
+ $stmt = "WHERE ( priority = ? OR priority > ? ) AND user = ?";
+ @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:
@bind = ('nwiger', 'pending', 'dispatched', 'robot', 'unassigned');
-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:
-
- $stmt = "WHERE user = ? AND ( workhrs > ? OR geo = ? )";
- @bind = ('nwiger', '20', 'ASIA');
-
-You would do:
-
- my %where = (
- user => 'nwiger',
- -nest => [ workhrs => {'>', 20}, geo => 'ASIA' ],
- );
-
-
-Finally, clauses in hashrefs or arrayrefs can be

+ [
+ -and => [ workhrs => {'>', 20}, geo => 'ASIA' ],
+ -or => { workhrs => {'<', 50}, geo => 'EURO' },
],
],
);
That would yield:
- WHERE ( user = ? AND
- ( ( workhrs > ? AND geo = ? )
- OR ( workhrs < ? AND geo = ? ) ) )

# yields : WHERE ( ( col LIKE ? OR col LIKE ? ) )
-=head2 Literal SQL
+=head2 Literal SQL and value type operators
+
+The basic premise of SQL::Abstract is that in WHERE specifications the "left
+side" is a column name and the "right side" is a value (normally rendered as
+a placeholder). This holds true for both hashrefs and arrayref pairs as you
+see in the L</WHERE CLAUSES> examples above. Sometimes it is necessary to
+alter this behavior. There are several ways of doing so.
+
+=head3 -ident
-Finally, sometimes only literal SQL will do. If you want to include
-literal SQL verbatim, you can specify it as a scalar reference, namely:
+This is a virtual operator that signals the string to its right side is an
+identifier (a column name) and not a value. For example to compare two
+columns you would write:
- my $inn = 'is Not Null';
my %where = (
priority => { '<', 2 },
- requestor => \$inn
+ requestor => { -ident => 'submitter' },
);
-This would create:
+which creates:
- $stmt = "WHERE priority < ? AND requestor is Not Null";
+ $stmt = "WHERE priority < ? AND requestor = submitter";
@bind = ('2');
-Note that in this example, you only get one bind parameter back, since
-the verbatim SQL is passed as part of the statement.
+If you are maintaining legacy code you may see a different construct as
+described in L</Deprecated usage of Literal SQL>, please use C<-ident> in new
+code.
+
+=head3 -value
-Of course, just to prove a point, the above can also be accomplished
-with this:
+This is a virtual operator that signals that the construct to its right side
+is a value to be passed to DBI. This is for example necessary when you want
+to write a where clause against an array (for RDBMS that support such
+datatypes). For example:
my %where = (
- priority => { '<', 2 },
- requestor => { '!=', undef },
+ array => { -value => [1, 2, 3] }
);
+will result in:
-TMTOWTDI
+ $stmt = 'WHERE array = ?';
+ @bind = ([1, 2, 3]);
-Conditions on boolean columns can be expressed in the same way, passing
-a reference to an empty string, however using liternal SQL in this way
-is deprecated - the preferred method is to use the boolean operators -
-see L</"Unary operators: bool"> :
+Note that if you were to simply say:
my %where = (
- priority => { '<', 2 },
- is_ready => \"";
+ array => [1, 2, 3]
);
-which yields
+the result would porbably be not what you wanted:
- $stmt = "WHERE priority < ? AND is_ready";
- @bind = ('2');
+ $stmt = 'WHERE array = ? OR array = ? OR array = ?';
+ @bind = (1, 2, 3);
-Literal SQL is also the only way to compare 2 columns to one another:
+=head3 Literal SQL
+
+Finally, sometimes only literal SQL will do. To include a random snippet
+of SQL verbatim, you specify it as a scalar reference. Consider this only
+as a last resort. Usually there is a better way. For example:
my %where = (
priority => { '<', 2 },
- requestor => \'= submittor'
+ requestor => { -in => \'(SELECT name FROM hitmen)' },
);
-which creates:
+Would create:
- $stmt = "WHERE priority < ? AND requestor = submitter";
- @bind = ('2');
+ $stmt = "WHERE priority < ? AND requestor IN (SELECT name FROM hitmen)"
+ @bind = (2);
+
+Note that in this example, you only get one bind parameter back, since
+the verbatim SQL is passed as part of the statement.
+
+=head4 CAVEAT
+
+ Never use untrusted input as a literal SQL argument - this is a massive
+ security risk (there is no way to check literal snippets for SQL
+ injections and other nastyness). If you need to deal with untrusted input
+ use literal SQL with placeholders as described next.
-=head2 Literal SQL with placeholders and bind values (subqueries)
+=head3 Literal SQL with placeholders and bind values (subqueries)
If the literal SQL to be inserted has placeholders and bind values,
use a reference to an arrayref (yes this is a double reference --
my ($sub_stmt, @sub_bind)
= $sql->select("t1", "*", {c1 => 1, c2 => \"> t0.c0"});
- my %where = (
+ my %where = ( -and => [
foo => 1234,
- -nest => \["EXISTS ($sub_stmt)" => @sub_bind],
- );
+ \["EXISTS ($sub_stmt)" => @sub_bind],
+ ]);
which yields
C<< c2 > ? >> with bind value C<"t0.c0"> ... not exactly
what we wanted here.
-Another use of the subquery technique is when some SQL clauses need
-parentheses, as it often occurs with some proprietary SQL extensions
-like for example fulltext expressions, geospatial expressions,
-NATIVE clauses, etc. Here is an example of a fulltext query in MySQL :
-
- my %where = (
- -nest => \["MATCH (col1, col2) AGAINST (?)" => qw/apples/]
- );
-
Finally, here is an example where a subquery is used
for expressing unary negation:
$sub_stmt =~ s/^ where //i; # don't want "WHERE" in the subclause
my %where = (
lname => {like => '%son%'},
- -nest => \["NOT ($sub_stmt)" => @sub_bind],
+ \["NOT ($sub_stmt)" => @sub_bind],
);
This yields
$stmt = "lname LIKE ? AND NOT ( age < ? OR age > ? )"
@bind = ('%son%', 10, 20)
+=head3 Deprecated usage of Literal SQL
+
+Below are some examples of archaic use of literal SQL. It is shown only as
+reference for those who deal with legacy code. Each example has a much
+better, cleaner and safer alternative that users should opt for in new code.
+
+=over
+
+=item *
+
+ my %where = ( requestor => \'IS NOT NULL' )
+
+ $stmt = "WHERE requestor IS NOT NULL"
+This used to be the way of generating NULL comparisons, before the handling
+of C<undef> got formalized. For new code please use the superior syntax as
+described in L</Tests for NULL values>.
+
+=item *
+
+ my %where = ( requestor => \'= submitter' )
+
+ $stmt = "WHERE requestor = submitter"
+
+This used to be the only way to compare columns. Use the superior L</-ident>
+method for all new code. For example an identifier declared in such a way
+will be properly quoted if L</quote_char> is properly set, while the legacy
+form will remain as supplied.
+
+=item *
+
+ my %where = ( is_ready => \"", completed => { '>', '2012-12-21' } )
+
+ $stmt = "WHERE completed > ? AND is_ready"
+ @bind = ('2012-12-21')
+
+Using an empty string literal used to be the only way to express a boolean.
+For all new code please use the much more readable
+L<-bool|/Unary operators: bool> operator.
