NAME

DBIx::MultiDB - join data from multiple sources

SYNOPSIS

use DBIx::MultiDB;

my $query = DBIx::MultiDB->new(
    dsn => 'dbi:SQLite:dbname=/tmp/db1.db',
    sql => 'SELECT id, name, company_id FROM employee',
);

$query->join(
    prefix        => 'company_',
    dsn           => 'dbi:SQLite:dbname=/tmp/db2.db',
    sql           => 'SELECT id, name FROM company',
    key           => 'id',
    referenced_by => 'company_id',
);

$query->execute();

while ( my $row = $query->fetchrow_hashref ) {
    # ...
}

DESCRIPTION

DBIx::MultiDB provides a simple way to join data from different sources.

You are not limited to a single database engine: in fact, you can join data from any source for which you have a DBI driver (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, etc). You can even mix them!

METHODS

new

Constructor. You can provide a dsn and sql, which is your base query.

attach

join

Once you have a base query, you can attach multiple queries that will be joined to it. For each one, you must provide a dsn, sql, and the relationship information (key and referenced_by). You can optionally provide a prefix that will be used to prevent name clashes.

Please note that this will also load the attached query into memory.

prepare

If you didn't provide the sql to the constructor, you can do it here. Example:

$query->prepare('SELECT id, name, company_id FROM employee');
$query->execute();

execute

Execute the base query.

fetchrow_hashref

Return a hashref, containing field names and values. The keys pointing to attached queries will be expanded into the attached queries' fields.
