NAME

POE::Component::Proxy::MySQL - A MySQL POE Proxy

DESCRIPTION

This modules helps building a MySQL proxy in which you can write handler to deal with specific queries.

You can modifiy the query, write a specific response, relay a query or do wahtever you want within each handler.

This is the evolution of POE::Component::DBIx::MyServer, it uses Moose and POE.

SYNOPSYS

First you create a server class that extends POE::Component::Server::MySQL.

package MyMySQL;
use Moose;

extends 'POE::Component::Server::MySQL';
with 'MooseX::Getopt';

Then in a perl script you can instantiate your new server

use MyMySQL;
my $server = MyMySQL->new_with_options();
$server->run;

In the MyMySQL namespace you can add roles which will act as handlers for your trapped queries:

package MyMySQL::Hello;

use POE;
use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Role;

sub fortune : Regexp('qr{fortune}io') {
   my ($self) = $_[OBJECT];   
   
   my $fortune = `fortune`;
   chomp($fortune);
   
   $self->client_send_results(
      ['fortune'],
      [[$fortune]]
   );

}

Then run your proxy

perl mymysql.pl --src_address localhost --src_port 23306 --dst_address localhost --dst_port 3306

and finally

[eriam@fbsd ~]# mysql -u root -pxxx --host localhost --port 23306
