NAME

POE::Component::EasyDBI - Perl extension for asynchronous non-blocking DBI calls in POE

SYNOPSIS

use POE qw( Component::EasyDBI );

# Set up the DBI
POE::Component::EasyDBI->spawn( # or new(), witch returns an obj
    alias       => 'EasyDBI',
    dsn         => 'DBI:mysql:database=foobaz;host=192.168.1.100;port=3306',
    username    => 'user',
    password    => 'pass',
    options     => {
        AutoCommit => 0,
    },
);

# Create our own session to communicate with EasyDBI
POE::Session->create(
    inline_states => {
        _start => sub {
            $_[KERNEL]->post( 'EasyDBI',
                do => {
                    sql => 'CREATE TABLE users (id INT, username VARCHAR(100)',
                    event => 'table_created',
                }

                        { id => 1, username => 'foo' },
                        { id => 2, username => 'bar' },
                        { id => 3, username => 'baz' },

            $_[KERNEL]->post( 'EasyDBI' => 'shutdown' );
        },
    },
);

ABSTRACT

This module simplifies DBI usage in POE's multitasking world.

This module is easy to use, you'll have DBI calls in your POE program
up and running in no time.

It also works in Windows environments!

DESCRIPTION

This module works by creating a new session, then spawning a child process to do the DBI queries. That way, your main POE process can continue servicing other clients.

The standard way to use this module is to do this:

use POE;
use POE::Component::EasyDBI;

POE::Component::EasyDBI->spawn( ... );

POE::Session->create( ... );

POE::Kernel->run();

Starting EasyDBI

To start EasyDBI, just call it's spawn method. (or new for an obj)

This one is for Postgresql:

POE::Component::EasyDBI->spawn(
    alias       => 'EasyDBI',
    dsn         => 'DBI:Pg:dbname=test;host=10.0.1.20',
    username    => 'user',
    password    => 'pass',
);

This one is for mysql:

POE::Component::EasyDBI->spawn(
    alias       => 'EasyDBI',
    dsn         => 'DBI:mysql:database=foobaz;host=192.168.1.100;port=3306',
    username    => 'user',
    password    => 'pass',
);

This method will die on error or return success.

Note the difference between dbname and database, that is dependant on the driver used, NOT EasyDBI

NOTE: If the SubProcess could not connect to the DB, it will return an error, causing EasyDBI to croak/die.

NOTE: Starting with version .10, I've changed new() to return a EasyDBI object and spawn() returns a session reference. Also, create() is the same as spawn(). See "OBJECT METHODS".

This constructor accepts 6 different options.

alias

This will set the alias EasyDBI uses in the POE Kernel. This will default TO "EasyDBI" if undef

If you do not want to use aliases, specify '' as the ailas. This helps when spawning many EasyDBI objects. See "OBJECT METHODS".

dsn

This is the DSN (Database connection string)

EasyDBI expects this to contain everything you need to connect to a database via DBI, without the username and password.

For valid DSN strings, contact your DBI driver's manual.

username

This is the DB username EasyDBI will use when making the call to connect

password

This is the DB password EasyDBI will use when making the call to connect

options

Pass a hash ref that normally would be after the $password param on a DBI->connect call.

max_retries

This is the max number of times the database wheel will be restarted, default is 5. Set this to -1 to retry forever.

ping_timeout

Optional. This is the timeout to ping the database handle. If set to 0 the database will be pinged before every query. The default is 0.

no_connect_failures

Optional. If set to a true value, the connect_error event will be valid, but not necessary. If set to a false value, then connection errors will be fatal.

connect_error

Optional. Supply a array ref of session_id or alias and an event. Any connect errors will be posted to this session and event with the query that failed as ARG0 or an empty hash ref if no query was in the queue. The query will be retried, so DON'T resend the query. If this parameter is not supplied, the normal behavour will be to drop the subprocess and restart max_retries times.

reconnect_wait

Optional. Defaults to 2 seconds. After a connection failure this is the time to wait until another connection is attempted. Setting this to 0 would not be good for your cpu load.

connected

Optional. Supply a array ref of session_id or alias and an event. When the component makes a successful connection this event will be called with the next query as ARG0 or an empty hash ref if no queries are in the queue. DON'T resend the query, it will be processed.

no_cache

Optional. If true, prepare_cached won't be called on queries. Use this when using DBD::AnyData. This can be overridden with each query.

alt_fork

Optional. If true, an alternate type of fork will be used for the database process. This usually results in lower memory use of the child. *Experimental, and WILL NOT work on Windows Platforms*

stopwatch

Optional. If true, Time::Stopwatch will be loaded and tied to the 'stopwatch' key on every query. Check the stopwatch key in the return event to measure how long a query took.

Events

There is only a few events you can trigger in EasyDBI. They all share a common argument format, except for the shutdown event.

Note: you can change the session that the query posts back to, it uses $_[SENDER] as the default.

You can use a postback, or callback (See POE::Session)

For example:

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    quote => {
            sql => 'foo$*@%%sdkf"""',
            event => 'quoted_handler',
            session => 'dbi_helper', # or session id
    }
);

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    quote => {
            sql => 'foo$*@%%sdkf"""',
            event => $_[SESSION]->postack("quoted_handler"),
            session => 'dbi_helper', # or session id
    }
);

quote

This sends off a string to be quoted, and gets it back.

Internally, it does this:

return $dbh->quote( $SQL );

Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    quote => {
        sql => 'foo$*@%%sdkf"""',
        event => 'quoted_handler',
    }
);

The Success Event handler will get a hash ref in ARG0:
{
    sql     =>  Unquoted SQL sent
    result  =>  Quoted SQL
}

do

This query is for those queries where you UPDATE/DELETE/etc.

Internally, it does this:

$sth = $dbh->prepare_cached( $sql );
$rows_affected = $sth->execute( $placeholders );
return $rows_affected;

Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    do => {
        sql => 'DELETE FROM FooTable WHERE ID = ?',
        placeholders => [ qw( 38 ) ],
        event => 'deleted_handler',
    }
);

The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
{
    sql             =>  SQL sent
    result          =>  Scalar value of rows affected
    rows            =>  Same as result
    placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
}

single

This query is for those queries where you will get exactly one row and
column back.

Internally, it does this:

$sth = $dbh->prepare_cached( $sql );
$sth->bind_columns( %result );
$sth->execute( $placeholders );
$sth->fetch();
return %result;

Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    single => {
        sql => 'Select test_id from FooTable',
        event => 'result_handler',
    }
);

The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
{
    sql             =>  SQL sent
    result          =>  scalar
    placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
}

arrayhash

This query is for those queries where you will get more than one row and
column back. Also see arrayarray

Internally, it does this:

$sth = $dbh->prepare_cached( $SQL );
$sth->execute( $PLACEHOLDERS );
while ( $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref() ) {
    push( @results,{ %{ $row } } );
}
return @results;

Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    arrayhash => {
        sql => 'SELECT this, that FROM my_table WHERE my_id = ?',
        event => 'result_handler',
        placeholders => [ qw( 2021 ) ],
    }
);

The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
{
    sql             =>  SQL sent
    result          =>  Array of hashes of the rows ( array of fetchrow_hashref's )
    rows            =>  Scalar value of rows
    placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
    cols            =>  An array of the cols in query order
}

hashhash

This query is for those queries where you will get more than one row and
column back.

The primary_key should be UNIQUE! If it is not, then use hasharray instead.

Internally, it does something like this:

if ($primary_key =~ m/^\d+$/) {
    if ($primary_key} > $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS}) {
        die "primary_key is out of bounds";
    }
    $primary_key = $sth->{NAME}->[($primary_key-1)];
}

for $i ( 0 .. $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS}-1 ) {
    $col{$sth->{NAME}->[$i]} = $i;
    push(@cols, $sth->{NAME}->[$i]);
}

$sth = $dbh->prepare_cached( $SQL );
$sth->execute( $PLACEHOLDERS );
while ( @row = $sth->fetch_array() ) {
    foreach $c (@cols) {
        $results{$row[$col{$primary_key}]}{$c} = $row[$col{$c}];
    }
}
return %results;

Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    hashhash => {
        sql => 'SELECT this, that FROM my_table WHERE my_id = ?',
        event => 'result_handler',
        placeholders => [ qw( 2021 ) ],
        primary_key => "2",  # making 'that' the primary key
    }
);

The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
{
    sql             =>  SQL sent
    result          =>  Hashes of hashes of the rows
    rows            =>  Scalar value of rows
    placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
    cols            =>  An array of the cols in query order
}

hasharray

This query is for those queries where you will get more than one row 
and column back.

Internally, it does something like this:

# find the primary key
if ($primary_key =~ m/^\d+$/) {
    if ($primary_key} > $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS}) {
        die "primary_key is out of bounds";
    }
    $primary_key = $sth->{NAME}->[($primary_key-1)];
}

for $i ( 0 .. $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS}-1 ) {
    $col{$sth->{NAME}->[$i]} = $i;
    push(@cols, $sth->{NAME}->[$i]);
}

$sth = $dbh->prepare_cached( $SQL );
$sth->execute( $PLACEHOLDERS );
while ( @row = $sth->fetch_array() ) {
    push(@{ $results{$row[$col{$primary_key}}]} }, @row);
}
return %results;

Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    hasharray => {
        sql => 'SELECT this, that FROM my_table WHERE my_id = ?',
        event => 'result_handler',
        placeholders => [ qw( 2021 ) ],
        primary_key => "1",  # making 'this' the primary key
    }
);

The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
{
    sql             =>  SQL sent
    result          =>  Hashes of hashes of the rows
    rows            =>  Scalar value of rows
    placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
    primary_key     =>  'this' # the column name for the number passed in
    cols            =>  An array of the cols in query order
}

array

This query is for those queries where you will get more than one row with
one column back. (or joined columns)

Internally, it does this:

$sth = $dbh->prepare_cached( $SQL );
$sth->execute( $PLACEHOLDERS );
while ( @row = $sth->fetchrow_array() ) {
    if ($separator) {
        push( @results,join($separator,@row) );
    } else {
        push( @results,join(',',@row) );
    }
}
return @results;

Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    array => {
        sql => 'SELECT this FROM my_table WHERE my_id = ?',
        event => 'result_handler',
        placeholders => [ qw( 2021 ) ],
        separator => ',', # default separator
    }
);

The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
{
    sql             =>  SQL sent
    result          =>  Array of scalars (joined with separator if more
        than one column is returned)
    rows            =>  Scalar value of rows
    placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
}

arrayarray

This query is for those queries where you will get more than one row and
column back. Also see arrayhash

Internally, it does this:

$sth = $dbh->prepare_cached( $SQL );
$sth->execute( $PLACEHOLDERS );
while ( @row = $sth->fetchrow_array() ) {
    push( @results,\@row );
}
return @results;

Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    arrayarray => {
        sql => 'SELECT this,that FROM my_table WHERE my_id > ?',
        event => 'result_handler',
        placeholders => [ qw( 2021 ) ],
    }
);

The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
{
    sql             =>  SQL sent
    result          =>  Array of array refs
    rows            =>  Scalar value of rows
    placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
}

hash

This query is for those queries where you will get one row with more than
one column back.

Internally, it does this:

$sth = $dbh->prepare_cached( $SQL );
$sth->execute( $PLACEHOLDERS );
@row = $sth->fetchrow_array();
if (@row) {
    for $i ( 0 .. $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS}-1 ) {
        $results{$sth->{NAME}->[$i]} = $row[$i];
    }
}
return %results;

Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    hash => {
        sql => 'SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE my_id = ?',
        event => 'result_handler',
        placeholders => [ qw( 2021 ) ],
    }
);

The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
{
    sql             =>  SQL sent
    result          =>  Hash
    rows            =>  Scalar value of rows
    placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
}

keyvalhash

This query is for those queries where you will get one row with more than
one column back.

Internally, it does this:

$sth = $dbh->prepare_cached( $SQL );
$sth->execute( $PLACEHOLDERS );
while ( @row = $sth->fetchrow_array() ) {
    $results{$row[0]} = $row[1];
}
return %results;

Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    keyvalhash => {
        sql => 'SELECT this, that FROM my_table WHERE my_id = ?',
        event => 'result_handler',
        placeholders => [ qw( 2021 ) ],
        primary_key => 1, # uses 'this' as the key
    }
);

The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
{
    sql             =>  SQL sent
    result          =>  Hash
    rows            =>  Scalar value of rows
    placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
}

insert

This is for inserting rows.

Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

$_[KERNEL]->post( 'EasyDBI',
    insert => {
        sql => 'INSERT INTO zipcodes (zip,city,state) VALUES (?,?,?)',
        placeholders => [ '98004', 'Bellevue', 'WA' ],
        event => 'insert_handler',
    }
);

also an example to retrieve a last insert id

$_[KERNEL]->post( 'EasyDBI',
    insert => {
        hash => { username => 'test' , pass => 'sUpErSeCrEt', name => 'John' },
        table => 'users',
        last_insert_id => {
            field => 'user_id', # mysql uses SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID instead
            table => 'users',   # of these values, just specify {} for mysql
        },
        # or last_insert_id can be => 'SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()' or some other
        # query that will return a value
    },
);

The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
{
    sql             =>  SQL sent
    table           =>  Table from insert
    placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
    last_insert_id  =>  The original hash or scalar sent
    insert_id       =>  Insert id if last_insert_id is used
    rows            =>  Number of rows affected
    result          =>  Same as rows
}

func

This is for calling $dbh->func(), when using a driver that supports it.  

Internally, it does this:

return $dbh->func(@{$args});

Here's an example on how to trigger this event (Using DBD::AnyData):

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    func => {
        args => ['test2','CSV',["id,phrase\n1,foo\n2,bar"],'ad_import'],
        event => 'result_handler',
    }
);

The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
{
    sql             =>  SQL sent
    result          =>  return value
}

commit

This is for calling $dbh->commit(), if the driver supports it.

Internally, it does this:

return $dbh->commit();

Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    commit => {
        event => 'result_handler',
    }
);

The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
{
    sql             =>  SQL sent
    result          =>  return value
}

rollback

This is for calling $dbh->rollback(), if the driver supports it.

Internally, it does this:

return $dbh->rollback();

Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    rollback => {
        event => 'result_handler',
    }
);

The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
{
    sql             =>  SQL sent
    result          =>  return value
}

begin_work

This is for calling $dbh->begin_work(), if the driver supports it.

Internally, it does this:

return $dbh->begin_work();

Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
    begin_work => {
        event => 'result_handler',
    }
);

The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
{
    sql             =>  SQL sent
    result          =>  return value
}

shutdown

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI', 'shutdown' );

This will signal EasyDBI to start the shutdown procedure.

NOTE: This will let all outstanding queries run!
EasyDBI will kill it's session when all the queries have been processed.

you can also specify an argument:

$kernel->post( 'EasyDBI', 'shutdown' => 'NOW' );

This will signal EasyDBI to shutdown.

NOTE: This will NOT let the outstanding queries finish!
Any queries running will be lost!

Due to the way POE's queue works, this shutdown event will take some time
to propagate POE's queue. If you REALLY want to shut down immediately, do
this:

$kernel->call( 'EasyDBI', 'shutdown' => 'NOW' );

ALL shutdown NOW's send kill 9 to thier children, beware of any 
transactions that you may be in. Your queries will revert if you are in
transaction mode

Arguments

They are passed in via the $kernel->post( ... );

Note: all query types can be in ALL-CAPS or lowercase but not MiXeD!

ie ARRAYHASH or arrayhash but not ArrayHash

sql

This is the actual SQL line you want EasyDBI to execute. You can put in placeholders, this module supports them.

placeholders

This is an array of placeholders.

You can skip this if your query does not use placeholders in it.

event

This is the success/failure event, triggered whenever a query finished successfully or not.

It will get a hash in ARG0, consult the specific queries on what you will get.

***** NOTE *****

In the case of an error, the key 'error' will have the specific error that occurred. Always, always, _always_ check for this in this event.

***** NOTE *****

separator

Query types single, and array accept this parameter. The default is a comma (,) and is optional

If a query has more than one column returned, the columns are joined with the 'separator'.

primary_key

Query types hashhash, and hasharray accept this parameter. It is used to key the hash on a certain field

chunked

All multi-row queries can be chunked.

You can pass the parameter 'chunked' with a number of rows to fire the 'event' event for every 'chunked' rows, it will fire the 'event' event. (a 'chunked' key will exist) A 'last_chunk' key will exist when you have received the last chunk of data from the query

last_insert_id

See the insert event for a example of its use.

begin_work

Optional. Works with all queries. You should have AutoCommit => 0 set on connect.

commit

Optional. After a successful 'do' or 'insert', a commit is performed. ONLY used when using do or insert

(arbitrary data)

You can pass custom keys and data not mentioned above, BUT I suggest using a prefix like _ in front of your custom keys. For example:

$_[KERNEL->post( 'EasyDBI',
    do => {
        sql => 'DELETE FROM sessions WHERE ip = ?',
        placeholders => [ $ip ],
        _ip => $ip,
        _port => $port,
        _filehandle => $fh,
    }
);

If I were to add an option 'filehandle' (for importing data from a file for instance) you don't want an upgrade to produce BAD results.

OBJECT METHODS

When using new() to spawn/create the EasyDBI object, you can use the methods listed below

NOTE: The object interface will be improved in later versions, please send suggestions to the author.

ID

This retrieves the session ID. When managing a pool of EasyDBI objects, you can set the alias to '' (nothing) and retrieve the session ID in this manner.

$self->ID()

commit, rollback, begin_work, func, method, insert, do, single, quote, arrayhash, hashhash, hasharray, array, arrayarray, hash, keyvalhash, combo, shutdown

All query types are now supported as object methods. For example:

$self->arrayhash(
    sql => 'SELECT user_id,user_login from users where logins = ?',
    event => 'arrayash_handler',
    placeholders => [ qw( 53 ) ],
);

DESTROY

This will shutdown EasyDBI.

$self->DESTROY()

LONG EXAMPLE

use POE qw( Component::EasyDBI );

# Set up the DBI

EasyDBI Notes

This module is very picky about capitalization!

All of the options are in lowercase. Query types can be in ALL-CAPS or lowercase.

This module will try to keep the SubProcess alive. if it dies, it will open it again for a max of 5 retries by default, but you can override this behavior by using max_retries

EXPORT

Nothing.
