NAME
NoSQL::PL2SQL::DBI::MySQL - MySQL driver for NoSQL::PL2SQL
SYNOPSIS
package AnyClass ;
use base qw( NoSQL::PL2SQL ) ;
use NoSQL::PL2SQL::DBI::MySQL ;
## define a data source
my $dsn = new NoSQL::PL2SQL::DBI::MySQL $tablename ;
## connect
$dsn->connect( $data_source, $username, $auth, \%attr ) ;
## access
my $object = AnyClass->SQLObject( $dsn, $objectid ) ;
## create a data source
$dsn->loadschema ;
## utilities
$dsn->do('DROP TABLE %s') ;
$dsn->do('DELETE FROM %s') ;
my @fetchrows = $dsn->rows_hash('SELECT * FROM %s WHERE objectid=1') ;
my @fetchrows = $dsn->rows_array('SELECT * FROM %s WHERE objectid=1') ;DESCRIPTION
NoSQL::PL2SQL::DBI::MySQL creates a MySQL database datasource for NoSQL::PL2SQL.
Developers who are comfortable with RDB can design a thin object interface using any number of tools, such as DBIx::Class. NoSQL::PL2SQL is designed for developers of thicker objects that may be more logical and require data flexibility. For these developers, where the database is merely a mechanism for object persistance, NoSQL::PL2SQL provides a simple abstraction with a trivial interface, and great portability.
One of NoSQL::PL2SQL's features is a "universal" table definition that can accomodate arbitrary and indeterminate data structures. This flexibility means that a single table can be used for heterogeneous instantiations of different classes. In many cases, a single table can serve the data needs of an entire application. Consequently, a NoSQL::PL2SQL::DBI object is primarily defined by the tablename using a constructor argument.
The driver object contains only one other property, a database handle, which is defined using the connect() method with the same arguments as the default DBI->connect() method. Otherwise, the default handle is a NoSQL::PL2SQL::DBI::Null object that simply reflects statement arguments, and can be useful for debugging.
This object can also invoke any DBI method. SQL statement arguments do not need to specify a table name which is a property of the driver object. Use the sprintf() notation '%s' intead.
Additionally, NoSQL::PL2SQL::DBI provides versions of DBI->fetchrow_arrayref() and DBI->fetchrow_hashref- rows_array() and rows_hash() respectively. These methods take an SQL statement as an argument, perform preparation and execution, and return the same output as their counterparts.
EXPORT
None by default.
