NAME

Data::Library::ManyPerFile - multiple-queries-per-file support class for Data

SYNOPSIS

Provides repository service to Data. This package supports SQL in template files, where each file contains one or more query blocks.

DESCRIPTION

Format of queries in a template file is as follows:

queryname1:

[One or more SQL statements]

;;

Query name must start at beginning of line and end with a colon. Terminate is a pair of semicolons on a line by itself.

When searching through the repository for a matching tag, the first match will be used. Conflicts are not detected.

ManyPerFile recognizes when a query file is changed, and will instruct Data to reload the query from the file.
