NAME

App::PipeFilter::MysqlToJson - translate mysql batch output to JSON

VERSION

version 0.005

SYNOPSIS

Here is the mysql2json(1) pipeline filter.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use App::PipeFilter::MysqlToJson;
exit App::PipeFilter::MysqlToJson->new_with_options()->run();

DESCRIPTION

App::PipeFilter::MysqlToJson implements the mysql2json(1) pipeline filter. Please see mysql2json(1) for usage instructions.

This module reads mysql(1) batch output (via the -B option) and produces a single JSON object per MySQL row.

Mysql batch output is produced by the mysql(1) utility's -B flag.

  mysql -B -u user -password -h 10.0.0.5 database \
    -e 'select crontab_id, task_id from crontab' | \
		mysql2json | jsort -k task_id -rn | head -5

Output may look like this:

{"crontab_id":"102","task_id":"701"}
{"crontab_id":"101","task_id":"700"}
{"crontab_id":"100","task_id":"650"}
{"crontab_id":"8","task_id":"599"}
{"crontab_id":"14","task_id":"38"}

PUBLIC METHODS

decode_input

App::PipeFilter::MysqlToJson's decode_input() method parses mysql(1) tab-separated rows into Perl data structures. Field names are extracted from the first line of the mysql(1) batch output.

filter_file (before)

mysql(1) batch output is tab-separated values. The first line of output contains column names, which are read by code that runs before filter_file().

TODO

App::PipeFilter::MysqlToJson uses App::PipeFilter::Role::Reader::LineByLine for simplicity. It could use App::PipeFilter::Role::Reader::Sysread to be significantly faster.
