=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module generates SQL from Perl data structures.  It is a subclass of
L<SQL::Abstract::Classic> or L<SQL::Abstract>, fully compatible with the parent
class, but with many improvements :
=over
=item *
methods take arguments as I<named parameters> instead of positional parameters.
This is more flexible for identifying and assembling various SQL clauses,
like C<-where>, C<-order_by>, C<-group_by>, etc.
=item *
additional SQL constructs like C<-union>, C<-group_by>, C<join>, C<-with_recursive>, etc.
are supported
=item *
subqueries can be used in a column list or as a datasource (i.e C<< SELECT ... FROM (SELECT ..) >>)
=item *
C<WHERE .. IN> clauses can range over multiple columns (tuples)
=item *
values passed to C<select>, C<insert> or C<update> can directly incorporate
information about datatypes, in the form of arrayrefs of shape
C<< [{dbd_attrs => \%type}, $value] >>
=item *
several I<SQL dialects> can adapt the generated SQL to various DBMS vendors
=back
This module was designed for the specific needs of
L<DBIx::DataModel>, but is published as a standalone distribution,
because it may possibly be useful for other needs.
Unfortunately, this module cannot be used with L<DBIx::Class>, because
C<DBIx::Class> creates its own instance of C<SQL::Abstract>
and has no API to let the client instantiate from any other class.
=head1 CLASS METHODS
=head2 import
The C<import()> method is called automatically when a client writes C<use SQL::Abstract::More>.
At this point there is a choice to make about the class to inherit from. Originally
this module was designed as an extension of L<SQL::Abstract> in its versions prior to 1.81.
Then L<SQL::Abstract> was rewritten with a largely different architecture, published
under v2.000001. A fork of the previous version is now published under L<SQL::Abstract::Classic>.
C<SQL::Abstract::More> can inherit from either version; initially it used  L<SQL::Abstract>
as the default parent, but now the default is back to L<SQL::Abstract::Classic> for better
compatibility with previous behaviours (see for example L<https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=143837>).
The choice of the parent class is made
according to the following rules :
=over
=item *
L<SQL::Abstract::Classic> is the default parent.
=item *
another parent can be specified through the C<-extends> keyword:
  use SQL::Abstract::More -extends => 'SQL::Abstract';
=item *
C<Classic> is a shorthand to C<SQL::Abstract::Classic>

If the environment variable C<SQL_ABSTRACT_MORE_EXTENDS> is defined,
its value is used as an implicit C<-extends>
   BEGIN {$ENV{SQL_ABSTRACT_MORE_EXTENDS} = 'Classic';
          use SQL::Abstract::More; # will inherit from SQL::Abstract::Classic;

=head2 new
  my $sqla = SQL::Abstract::More->new(%options);
where C<%options> may contain any of the options for the parent
class (see L<SQL::Abstract/new>), plus the following :
=over
=item table_alias
A C<sprintf> format description for generating table aliasing clauses.
The default is C<%s AS %s>.
The argument can also be a method coderef :
  SQL::Abstract::More->new(table_alias => sub {
    my ($self, $table, $alias) = @_;
    my $syntax_for_aliased_table = ...;
    return $syntax_for_aliased_table;
   })
=item column_alias
A C<sprintf> format description for generating column aliasing clauses.
The default is C<%s AS %s>.
Like for C<table_alias>, the argument can also be a method coderef.
=item limit_offset
Name of a "limit-offset dialect", which can be one of
C<LimitOffset>, C<LimitXY>, C<LimitYX>, C<OffsetFetchRows> or C<RowNum>.
Most of thoses are copied from L<SQL::Abstract::Limit> -- see that module for explanations.
The C<OffsetFetchRows> dialect has been added here and corresponds to Oracle syntax
starting from version 12c (C<OFFSET ? ROWS FETCH ? ROWS ONLY>).
Unlike the L<SQL::Abstract::Limit> implementation,
limit and offset values are treated here as regular values,
with placeholders '?' in the SQL; values are postponed to the
C<@bind> list.
The argument can also be a coderef. That coderef takes C<$self, $limit, $offset>
as arguments, and should return C<($sql, @bind)>. If C<$sql> contains
C<%s>, it is treated as a C<sprintf> format string, where the original
SQL is injected into C<%s>.
=item join_syntax
A hashref where keys are abbreviations for join
operators to be used in the L</join> method, and 
values are associated SQL clauses with placeholders
in C<sprintf> format. The default is described
below under the L</join> method.
=item join_assoc_right
A boolean telling if multiple joins should be associative 
on the right or on the left. Default is false (i.e. left-associative).
=item max_members_IN
An integer specifying the maximum number of members in a "IN" clause.
If the number of given members is greater than this maximum, 
C<SQL::Abstract::More> will automatically split it into separate
clauses connected by 'OR' (or connected by 'AND' if used with the
C<-not_in> operator).
  my $sqla = SQL::Abstract::More->new(max_members_IN => 3);
  ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->select(
   -from     => 'Foo',
   -where    => {foo => {-in     => [1 .. 5]}},
                 bar => {-not_in => [6 .. 10]}},
  );
  # .. WHERE (     (foo IN (?,?,?) OR foo IN (?, ?))
  #            AND (bar NOT IN (?,?,?) AND bar NOT IN (?, ?)) )
=item multicols_sep
A string or compiled regular expression used as a separator for
"multicolumns". This separator can then be used on the left-hand side
and right-hand side of an C<IN> operator, like this :
  my $sqla = SQL::Abstract::More->new(multicols_sep => '/');
  ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->select(
   -from     => 'Foo',
   -where    => {"x/y/z" => {-in => ['1/A/foo', '2/B/bar']}},
  );
Alternatively, tuple values on the right-hand side can also be given
as arrayrefs instead of plain scalars with separators :
   -where    => {"x/y/z" => {-in => [[1, 'A', 'foo'], [2, 'B', 'bar']]}},
but the left-hand side must stay a plain scalar because an array reference
wouldn't be a proper key for a Perl hash; in addition, the presence
of the separator in the string is necessary to trigger the special
algorithm for multicolumns.
The generated SQL depends on the boolean flag C<has_multicols_in_SQL>,
as explained in the next paragraph.
=item has_multicols_in_SQL
A boolean flag that controls which kind of SQL will be generated for
multicolumns. If the flag is B<true>, this means that the underlying DBMS
supports multicolumns in SQL, so we just generate tuple expressions.
In the example from the previous paragraph, the SQL and bind values
would be :
   # $sql  : "WHERE (x, y, z) IN ((?, ?, ?), (?, ?, ?))"
   # @bind : [ qw/1 A foo 2 B bar/ ]
It is also possible to use a subquery, like this :
  ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->select(
   -from     => 'Foo',
   -where    => {"x/y/z" => {-in => \[ 'SELECT (a, b, c) FROM Bar '
                                       . 'WHERE a > ?', 99]}},
  );
  # $sql  : "WHERE (x, y, z) IN (SELECT (a, b, c) FROM Bar WHERE a > ?)"
  # @bind : [ 99 ]
If the flag is B<false>, the condition on tuples will be
automatically converted using boolean logic :
   # $sql  : "WHERE (   (x = ? AND y = ? AND z = ?) 
                     OR (x = ? AND y = ? AND z = ?))"
   # @bind : [ qw/1 A foo 2 B bar/ ]
If the flag is false, subqueries are not allowed.
=item select_implicitly_for
A value that will be automatically added as a C<-for> clause in
calls to L</select>. This default clause can always be overridden
by an explicit C<-for> in a given select :
  my $sqla = SQL::Abstract->new(-select_implicitly_for => 'READ ONLY');
  ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->select(-from => 'Foo');
    # SELECT * FROM FOO FOR READ ONLY
  ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->select(-from => 'Foo', -for => 'UPDATE');
    # SELECT * FROM FOO FOR UPDATE
  ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->select(-from => 'Foo', -for => undef);
    # SELECT * FROM FOO
=item sql_dialect
This is actually a "meta-argument" : it injects a collection
of regular arguments, tuned for a specific SQL dialect.
Dialects implemented so far are :
=over
=item MsAccess
For Microsoft Access. Overrides the C<join> syntax to be right-associative.
=item BasisJDBC
For Livelink Collection Server (formerly "Basis"), accessed
through a JDBC driver. Overrides the C<column_alias> syntax.
Sets C<max_members_IN> to 255.
=item MySQL_old
For old versions of MySQL. Overrides the C<limit_offset> syntax.
Recent versions of MySQL do not need that because they now
implement the regular "LIMIT ? OFFSET ?" ANSI syntax.
=item Oracle
For old versions of Oracle. Overrides the C<limit_offset> to use the "RowNum" dialect
(beware, this injects an additional column C<rownum__index> into your
resultset). Also sets C<max_members_IN> to 999 and C<has_multicols_in_SQL> to true.
=item Oracle12c
For Oracle starting from version 12c. Like the "Oracle" dialect, except for
C<limit_offset> which uses C<OffsetFetchRows>.

=head1 INSTANCE METHODS
=head2 select
  # positional parameters, directly passed to the parent class
  ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->select($table, $columns, $where, $order);
  # named parameters, handled in this class 
  ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->select(
    -columns  => \@columns,
      # OR: -columns => [-distinct => @columns],
    -from     => $table || \@joined_tables,
    -where    => \%where,
    -union    => [ %select_subargs ], # OR -intersect, -minus, etc
    -order_by => \@order,
    -group_by => \@group_by,
    -having   => \%having_criteria,
    -limit => $limit, -offset => $offset,
      # OR: -page_size => $size, -page_index => $index,
    -for      => $purpose,
   );
  my $details = $sqla->select(..., want_details => 1);
  # keys in %$details: sql, bind, aliased_tables, aliased_columns
If called with positional parameters, as in L<SQL::Abstract>, 
C<< select() >> just forwards the call to the parent class. Otherwise, if
called with named parameters, as in the example above, some additional
SQL processing is performed.
The following named arguments can be specified :
=over
=item C<< -columns => \@columns >> 
C<< \@columns >>  is a reference to an array
of SQL column specifications (i.e. column names, 
C<*> or C<table.*>, functions, etc.).
A '|' in a column is translated into a column aliasing clause:
this is convenient when
using perl C<< qw/.../ >> operator for columns, as in
  -columns => [ qw/table1.longColumn|t1lc table2.longColumn|t2lc/ ]
SQL column aliasing is then generated through the L</column_alias> method.
If L<SQL::Abstract/quote_char> is defined, aliased columns will be quoted,
unless they contain parentheses, in which case they are considered as
SQL expressions for which the user should handle the quoting himself.
For example if C<quote_char> is "`", 
  -columns => [ qw/foo.bar|fb length(buz)|lbuz/ ]
will produce
  SELECT `foo`.`bar` AS fb, length(buz) AS lbuz
and not
  SELECT `foo`.`bar` AS fb, length(`buz`) AS lbuz
Initial items in C<< @columns >> that start with a minus sign
are shifted from the array, i.e. they are not considered as column
names, but are re-injected later into the SQL (without the minus sign), 
just after the C<SELECT> keyword. This is especially useful for 
  $sqla->select(..., -columns => [-DISTINCT => @columns], ...);
However, it may also be useful for other purposes, like
vendor-specific SQL variants :
   # MySQL features
  ->select(..., -columns => [-STRAIGHT_JOIN    => @columns], ...);
  ->select(..., -columns => [-SQL_SMALL_RESULT => @columns], ...);
   # Oracle hint
  ->select(..., -columns => ["-/*+ FIRST_ROWS (100) */" => @columns], ...);
Within the columns array, it is also possible to insert a 
subquery expressed as a reference to an arrayref, as explained in
L<SQL::Abstract/"Literal SQL with placeholders and bind values (subqueries)">.
The caller is responsible for putting the SQL of the subquery within parenthesis
and possibly adding a column alias; fortunately this can be done automatically when 
generating the subquery through a call to C<select()> with an L</-as> parameter :
  # build the subquery -- stored in an arrayref
  my $subquery = [ $sqla->select(
      -columns => 'COUNT(*)',
      -from    => 'Foo',
      -where   => {bar_id => {-ident => 'Bar.bar_id'},
                   height => {-between => [100, 200]}},
      -as      => 'count_foos',
    ) ];
   
  # main query
  my ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->select(
         -from    => 'Bar',
         -columns => ['col1', 'col2', \$subquery, , 'col4'], # reference to an arrayref !
         -where   => {color => 'green'},
       );
This will produce SQL :
  SELECT col1, col2,
         (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Foo WHERE bar_id=Bar.bar_id and height BETWEEN ? AND ?) AS count_foos,
         col4
    FROM Bar WHERE color = ?        
The resulting C<@bind> array combines bind values coming from both the subquery
and from the main query, i.e. C<< (100, 200, 'green') >>.
Instead of an arrayref, the argument to C<-columns> can also be just a string, like for example
C<< "c1 AS foobar, MAX(c2) AS m_c2, COUNT(c3) AS n_c3" >>;
however this is mainly for backwards compatibility. The 
recommended way is to use the arrayref notation as explained above :
  -columns => [ qw/  c1|foobar   MAX(c2)|m_c2   COUNT(c3)|n_c3  / ]
If omitted, C<< -columns >> takes '*' as default argument.
=item C<< -from => $table || \@joined_tables || \$subquery >> 
The argument to C<-from> can be :
=over
=item *
a plain string, interpreted as a table name. Like for column aliases,
a table alias can be given, using a vertical bar as separator :
  -from => 'Foobar|fb', # SELECT .. FROM Foobar AS fb
=item *
a join specification, given as an arrayref starting with the keyword C<-join>, followed
by a list of table and join conditions according to the L</join> method :
  -from => [-join => qw/Foo fk=pk Bar/],
=item *
a I<reference> to a subquery arrayref, in the form C<< [$sql, @bind] >>.
The caller is responsible for putting the SQL of the subquery within parenthesis
and possibly adding a table alias; fortunately this can be done automatically when 
generating the subquery through a call to C<select()> with an L</-as> parameter :
  my $subq = [ $sqla->select(-columns => 'f|x', -from => 'Foo',
                             -union   => [-columns => 'b|x',
                                          -from    => 'Bar',
                                          -where   => {barbar => 123}],
                             -as      => 'Foo_union_Bar',
                             ) ];
  my ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->select(-from     => \$subq,
                                   -order_by => 'x');
=item *
a simple arrayref that does not start with C<-join>. This is
for compatibility with the old L<SQL::Abstract> API. Members of the
array are interpreted as a list of table names, that will be joined
by C<", ">. Join conditions should then be expressed separately in the
C<-where> part. This syntax is deprecated : use the C<-join> feature instead.
  $sqla->select(-from => [qw/Foo Bar Buz/], ...) # SELECT FROM Foo, Bar, Buz ..
=item *
a simple scalarref. This is
for compatibility with the old L<SQL::Abstract> API. The result is strictly
equivalent to passing the scalar directly. This syntax is deprecated.
  $sqla->select(-from => \ "Foo", ...) # SELECT FROM Foo ..
=back
=item C<< -where => $criteria >>
Like in L<SQL::Abstract>, C<< $criteria >> can be 
a plain SQL string like C<< "col1 IN (3, 5, 7, 11) OR col2 IS NOT NULL" >>;
but in most cases, it will rather be a reference to a hash or array of
conditions that will be translated into SQL clauses, like
for example C<< {col1 => 'val1', col2 => {'<>' => 'val2'}} >>.
The structure of that hash or array can be nested to express complex
boolean combinations of criteria, including parenthesized subqueries; see
L<SQL::Abstract/"WHERE CLAUSES"> for a detailed description.
When using hashrefs or arrayrefs, leaf values can be "bind values with types";
see the L</"BIND VALUES WITH TYPES"> section below.
=item C<< -union => [ %select_subargs ] >>
=item C<< -union_all => [ %select_subargs ] >>
=item C<< -intersect => [ %select_subargs ] >>
=item C<< -except => [ %select_subargs ] >>
=item C<< -minus => [ %select_subargs ] >>
generates a compound query using set operators such as C<UNION>,
C<INTERSECT>, etc. The argument C<%select_subargs> contains a nested
set of parameters like for the main select (i.e. C<-columns>,
C<-from>, C<-where>, etc.); however, arguments C<-columns> and
C<-from> can be omitted, in which case they will be copied from the
main select(). Several levels of set operators can be nested.
=item C<< -group_by => "string" >>  or C<< -group_by => \@array >> 
adds a C<GROUP BY> clause in the SQL statement. Grouping columns are
specified either by a plain string or by an array of strings.
=item C<< -having => "string" >>  or C<< -having => \%criteria >> 
adds a C<HAVING> clause in the SQL statement. In most cases this is used
together with a C<GROUP BY> clause.
This is like a C<-where> clause, except that the criteria
are applied after grouping has occurred.
=item C<< -order_by => \@order >>
C<< \@order >> is a reference to a list 
of columns for sorting. Columns can 
be prefixed by '+' or '-' for indicating sorting directions,
so for example C<< -orderBy => [qw/-col1 +col2 -col3/] >>
will generate the SQL clause
C<< ORDER BY col1 DESC, col2 ASC, col3 DESC >>.
Column names C<asc> and C<desc> are treated as exceptions to this
rule, in order to preserve compatibility with L<SQL::Abstract>.
So C<< -orderBy => [-desc => 'colA'] >> yields
C<< ORDER BY colA DESC >> and not C<< ORDER BY desc DEC, colA >>.
Any other syntax supported by L<SQL::Abstract> is also
supported here; see L<SQL::Abstract/"ORDER BY CLAUSES"> for examples.
The whole C<< -order_by >> parameter can also be a plain SQL string
like C<< "col1 DESC, col3, col2 DESC" >>.
=item C<< -page_size => $page_size >>
specifies how many rows will be retrieved per "page" of data.
Default is unlimited (or more precisely the maximum 
value of a short integer on your system).
When specified, this parameter automatically implies C<< -limit >>.
=item C<< -page_index => $page_index >>
specifies the page number (starting at 1). Default is 1.
When specified, this parameter automatically implies C<< -offset >>.
=item C<< -limit => $limit >>
limit to the number of rows that will be retrieved.
Automatically implied by C<< -page_size >>.
=item C<< -offset => $offset >>
Automatically implied by C<< -page_index >>.
Defaults to 0.
=item C<< -for => $clause >> 
specifies an additional clause to be added at the end of the SQL statement,
like C<< -for => 'READ ONLY' >> or C<< -for => 'UPDATE' >>.
=item C<< -want_details => 1 >>
If true, the return value will be a hashref instead of the usual
C<< ($sql, @bind) >>. The hashref contains the following keys :
=item C<< -as => $alias >>
The C<< $sql >> part is rewritten as C<< ($sql)|$alias >>.
This is convenient when the result is to be used as a subquery
within another C<< select() >> call.

=item bind

=item aliased_tables

Parameters C<-into> and C<-values> are passed verbatim to the parent method.
Parameters C<-select> and C<-columns> are used for selecting from
subqueries -- this is incompatible with the C<-values> parameter.
Parameter C<-returning> is optional and only
supported by some database vendors (see L<SQL::Abstract/insert>);
if the C<$return_structure> is 
=over
=item *
a scalar or an arrayref, it is passed directly to the parent method
=item *
a hashref, it is interpreted as a SQL clause "RETURNING .. INTO ..",
as required in particular by Oracle. Hash keys are field names, and
hash values are references to variables that will receive the
results. Then it is the client code's responsibility
to use L<DBD::Oracle/bind_param_inout> for binding the variables
and retrieving the results, but the L</bind_params> method in the
present module is there for help. Example:
  ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->insert(
    -into      => $table,
    -values    => {col => $val, ...},
    -returning => {key_col => \my $generated_key},

Optional parameter C<-add_sql> is used with some specific SQL dialects, for
injecting additional SQL keywords after the C<INSERT> keyword. Examples :

    -order_by  => \@order,
    -limit     => $limit,
    -returning => $return_structure,
    -add_sql   => $keyword,
  );
This works in the same spirit as the L</insert> method above.
Positional parameters are supported for backwards compatibility
with the old API; but named parameters should be preferred because
they improve the readability of the client's code.
Few DBMS would support parameters C<-order_by> and C<-limit>, but
MySQL does -- see L<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/update.html>.
Optional parameter C<-returning> works like for the L</insert> method.
Optional parameter C<-add_sql> is used with some specific SQL dialects, for
injecting additional SQL keywords after the C<UPDATE> keyword. Examples :
  $sqla->update(..., -add_sql => 'IGNORE')     # produces "UPDATE IGNORE ..."    -- MySQL
  $sqla->update(..., -add_sql => 'OR IGNORE')  # produces "UPDATE OR IGNORE ..." -- SQLite

Returns a new instance with an encapsulated I<common table expression (CTE)>, i.e. a
kind of local view that can be used as a table name for the rest of the SQL statement
-- see L<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_and_recursive_queries_in_SQL> for
an explanation of such expressions, or, if you are using Oracle, see the documentation
for so-called I<subquery factoring clauses> in SELECT statements.
Further calls to C<select>, C<insert>, C<update> and C<delete> on that new instance
will automatically prepend a C<WITH> or C<WITH RECURSIVE> clause before the usual
SQL statement.
Arguments to C<with_recursive()> are expressed as a list of arrayrefs; each arrayref
corresponds to one table expression, with the following named parameters :
=over
=item C<-table>
The name to be assigned to the table expression
=item C<-columns>
An optional list of column aliases to be assigned to the
columns resulting from the internal select
=item C<-as_select>
The implementation of the table expression, given as a hashref
of arguments following the same syntax as the L</select> method.
=item C<-final_clause>
An optional SQL clause that will be added after the table expression.
This may be needed for example for an Oracle I<cycle clause>, like
  ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->with_recursive(
    -table        => ...,
    -as_select    => ...,
    -final_clause => "CYCLE x SET is_cycle TO '1' DEFAULT '0'",
   )->select(...);
=back
If there is only one table expression, its arguments can be passed directly
as an array instead of a single arrayref.
=head2 table_alias
  my $sql = $sqla->table_alias($table_name, $alias);
Returns the SQL fragment for aliasing a table.
If C<$alias> is empty, just returns C<$table_name>.
=head2 column_alias
Like C<table_alias>, but for column aliasing.
=head2 limit_offset
  ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->limit_offset($limit, $offset);
Generates C<($sql, @bind)> for a LIMIT-OFFSET clause.
=head2 join
  my $join_info = $sqla->join(
    <table0> <join_1> <table_1> ... <join_n> <table_n>

  my $sth = $dbh->prepare($join_info->{sql});
  $sth->execute(@{$join_info->{bind}})
  while (my ($alias, $aliased) = each %{$join_info->{aliased_tables}}) {
    say "$alias is an alias for table $aliased";
  }
Generates join information for a JOIN clause, taking as input
a collection of joined tables with their join conditions.
The following example gives an idea of the available syntax :
  ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->join(qw[
     Table1|t1       ab=cd                     Table2|t2
                 <=>{ef>gh,ij<kl,mn='foobar'}  Table3
                  =>{t1.op=qr}                 Table4
     ]);
This will generate
  Table1 AS t1 INNER JOIN Table2 AS t2 ON t1.ab=t2.cd
               INNER JOIN Table3       ON t2.ef>Table3.gh
                                      AND t2.ij<Table3.kl
                                      AND t2.mn=?
                LEFT JOIN Table4       ON t1.op=Table4.qr
with one bind value C<foobar>.
More precisely, the arguments to C<join()> should be a list
containing an odd number of elements, where the odd positions
are I<table specifications> and the even positions are
I<join specifications>.
=head3 Table specifications
A table specification for join is a string containing
the table name, possibly followed by a vertical bar
and an alias name. For example C<Table1> or C<Table1|t1>
are valid table specifications.
These are converted into internal hashrefs with keys
C<sql>, C<bind>, C<name>, C<aliased_tables>, like this :
  {
    sql            => "Table1 AS t1"
    bind           => [],
    name           => "t1"
    aliased_tables => {"t1" => "Table1"}
  }
Such hashrefs can be passed directly as arguments,
instead of the simple string representation.
=head3 Join specifications
A join specification is a string containing
an optional I<join operator>, possibly followed
by a pair of curly braces or square brackets
containing the I<join conditions>.
Default builtin join operators are
C<< <=> >>, C<< => >>, C<< <= >>, C<< == >>,
corresponding to the following
SQL JOIN clauses :
  '<=>' => '%s INNER JOIN %s ON %s',
   '=>' => '%s LEFT OUTER JOIN %s ON %s',
  '<='  => '%s RIGHT JOIN %s ON %s',
  '=='  => '%s NATURAL JOIN %s',
  '>=<' => '%s FULL OUTER JOIN %s ON %s',
This operator table can be overridden through
the C<join_syntax> parameter of the L</new> method.
The join conditions are a comma-separated list
of binary column comparisons, like for example
  {ab=cd,Table1.ef<Table2.gh}
Table names may be explicitly given using dot notation,
or may be implicit, in which case they will be filled
automatically from the names of operands on the
left-hand side and right-hand side of the join.
Strings within quotes will be treated as bind values instead
of column names; pairs of quotes within such values become
single quotes. Ex.
  {ab=cd,ef='foo''bar',gh<ij}
becomes
  ON Table1.ab=Table2.cd AND Table1.ef=? AND Table1.gh<Table2.ij
  # bind value: "foo'bar"
In accordance with L<SQL::Abstract> common conventions,
if the list of comparisons is within curly braces, it will
become an C<AND>; if it is within square brackets, it will
become an C<OR>.
Join specifications expressed as strings
are converted into internal hashrefs with keys
C<operator> and C<condition>, like this :
  {
    operator  => '<=>',
    condition => { '%1$s.ab' => {'=' => {-ident => '%2$s.cd'}},
                   '%1$s.ef' => {'=' => {-ident => 'Table2.gh'}}},
  }
The C<operator> is a key into the C<join_syntax> table; the associated
value is a C<sprintf> format string, with placeholders for the left and
right operands, and the join condition.  The C<condition> is a
structure suitable for being passed as argument to
L<SQL::Abstract/where>.  Places where the names of left/right tables
(or their aliases) are expected should be expressed as C<sprintf>
placeholders, i.e.  respectively C<%1$s> and C<%2$s>. Usually the
right-hand side of the condition refers to a column of the right
table; in such case it should B<not> belong to the C<@bind> list, so
this is why we need to use the C<-ident> operator from
L<SQL::Abstract>. Only when the right-hand side is a string constant
(string within quotes) does it become a bind value : for example
  ->join(qw/Table1 {ab=cd,ef='foobar'}) Table2/)
is parsed into
  [ 'Table1',
    { operator  => '<=>',
      condition => { '%1$s.ab' => {'=' => {-ident => '%2$s.cd'}},
                     '%1$s.ef' => {'=' => 'foobar'} },
    },
    'Table2',
  ]
Hashrefs for join specifications as shown above can be passed directly
as arguments, instead of the simple string representation.
For example the L<DBIx::DataModel> ORM uses hashrefs for communicating
with C<SQL::Abstract::More>.
=head3 joins with USING clause instead of ON
In most DBMS, when column names on both sides of a join are identical, the join
can be expressed as
  SELECT * FROM T1 INNER JOIN T2 USING (A, B)
instead of
  SELECT * FROM T1 INNER JOIN T2 ON T1.A=T2.A AND T1.B=T2.B
The advantage of this syntax with a USING clause is that the joined
columns will appear only once in the results, and they do not need to
be prefixed by a table name if they are needed in the select list or
in the WHERE part of the SQL.
To express joins with the USING syntax in C<SQL::Abstract::More>, just
mention the column names within curly braces, without any equality
operator. For example
  ->join(qw/Table1 {a,b} Table2 {c} Table3/)
will generate
  SELECT * FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 USING (a,b)
                       INNER JOIN Table3 USING (c)
In this case the internal hashref representation has the following shape :
  {
    operator  => '<=>',
    using     => [ 'a', 'b'],
  }
When they are generated directy by the client code, internal hashrefs
must have I<either> a C<condition> field I<or> a C<using> field; it is
an error to have both.
=head3 Return value
The structure returned by C<join()> is a hashref with 
the following keys :
=over
=item sql
a string containing the generated SQL
=item bind
an arrayref of bind values
=item aliased_tables
a hashref where keys are alias names and values are names of aliased tables.
=back
=head2 merge_conditions
  my $conditions = $sqla->merge_conditions($cond_A, $cond_B, ...);
This utility method takes a list of "C<where>" conditions and
merges all of them in a single hashref. For example merging
  ( {a => 12, b => {">" => 34}}, 
    {b => {"<" => 56}, c => 78} )
produces 
  {a => 12, b => [-and => {">" => 34}, {"<" => 56}], c => 78});
=head2 bind_params
  $sqla->bind_params($sth, @bind);
For each C<$value> in C<@bind>:
=over 
=item *
if the value is a scalarref, call
  $sth->bind_param_inout($index, $value, $INOUT_MAX_LEN)
(see L<DBI/bind_param_inout>). C<$INOUT_MAX_LEN> defaults to
99, which should be good enough for most uses; should you need another value, 
you can change it by setting
  local $SQL::Abstract::More::INOUT_MAX_LEN = $other_value;
=item *
if the value is an arrayref that matches L</is_bind_value_with_type>,
then call the method and arguments returned by L</is_bind_value_with_type>.
=item *
for all other cases, call
  $sth->bind_param($index, $value);
=back
This method is useful either as a convenience for Oracle
statements of shape C<"INSERT ... RETURNING ... INTO ...">
(see L</insert> method above), or as a way to indicate specific
datatypes to the database driver.
=head2 is_bind_value_with_type
  my ($method, @args) = $sqla->is_bind_value_with_type($value);
If C<$value> is a ref to a pair C<< [\%args, $orig_value] >> :
=over 
=item *
if  C<%args> is of shape C<< {dbd_attrs => \%sql_type} >>,
then return C<< ('bind_param', $orig_value, \%sql_type) >>.
=item *
if  C<%args> is of shape C<< {sqlt_size => $num} >>,
then return C<< ('bind_param_inout', $orig_value, $num) >>.
=back
Otherwise, return C<()>.
=head1 BIND VALUES WITH TYPES
At places where L<SQL::Abstract> would expect a plain value,
C<SQL::Abstract::More> also accepts a pair, i.e. an arrayref of 2
elements, where the first element is a type specification, and the
second element is the value. This is convenient when the DBD driver needs
additional information about the values used in the statement.
The usual type specification is a hashref C<< {dbd_attrs => \%type} >>,
where C<\%type> is passed directly as third argument to
L<DBI/bind_param>, and therefore is specific to the DBD driver.
Another form of type specification is C<< {sqlt_size => $num} >>,
where C<$num> will be passed as buffer size to L<DBI/bind_param_inout>.
Here are some examples
  ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->insert(
   -into   => 'Foo',
   -values => {bar => [{dbd_attrs => {ora_type => ORA_XMLTYPE}}]},
  );
  ($sql, @bind) = $sqla->select(
   -from  => 'Foo',
   -where => {d_begin => {">" => [{dbd_attrs => {ora_type => ORA_DATE}}, 
                                  $some_date]}},
  );
When using this feature, the C<@bind> array will contain references
that cannot be passed directly to L<DBI> methods; so you should use
L</bind_params> from the present module to perform the appropriate
bindings before executing the statement.
=head1 UTILITY FUNCTIONS
=head2 shallow_clone
  my $clone = SQL::Abstract::More::shallow_clone($some_object, %override);
Returns a shallow copy of the object passed as argument. A new hash is created
with copies of the top-level keys and values, and it is blessed into the same
class as the original object. Not to be confused with the full recursive copy
performed by L<Clone/clone>.
The optional C<%override> hash is also copied into C<$clone>; it can be used
to add other attributes or to override existing attributes in C<$some_object>.
=head2 does()
  if (SQL::Abstract::More::does $ref, 'ARRAY') {...}
Very cheap version of a C<does()> method, that
checks whether a given reference can act as an ARRAY, HASH, SCALAR or
CODE. This was designed for the limited internal needs of this module
and of L<DBIx::DataModel>; for more complete implementations of a
C<does()> method, see L<Scalar::Does>, L<UNIVERSAL::DOES> or
L<Class::DOES>.
