NAME

PGObject::Composite - Composite Type Mapper for PGObject

VERSION

Version 1.0.2

SYNOPSIS

This module provides a more object-oriented type of interface for writing stored procedures for PostgreSQL than the Simple mapper. The Composite mapper assumes that the object calling the call_dbmethod function usually wants its type on the first argument. Thus we provide an extra function where this is not the case (call_dbfunction).

So we given a cumposite type:

CREATE TYPE foo AS (bar int, baz text);

and a stored procedure:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION int(foo) returns int language sql as $$
  SELECT length($1.baz) + $1.bar;
$$;

We can have a package:

package mycomposite;
use PGObject::Composite;
sub new {
    my $pkg = shift;
    bless shift, $pkg;
}

sub to_int {
    my $self = shift;
    my ($ref) = $shelf->call_dbmethod(funcname => 'int');
    return shift values %$ref;
}

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

This constructs a new object. Basically it copies the incoming hash (one level deep) and then blesses it. If the hash passed in has a dbh member, the dbh is set to that. This does not set the function prefix, as this is assumed to be done implicitly by subclasses.

set_dbh

Sets the database handle

dbh

returns the dbh of the object

associate

Assocates the current object with another PGObject-based class

default_dbh

returns the dbh used by default. Subclasses must override.

default_schema

returns the schema used by default. defaalt is 'public'

default_prefix

returns the prefix used by default. Default is empty string

default_registry

Returns the registry used by default. Default is 'default'

call_dbmethod

Calls a mapped method with the current object as the argument named "self."

This allows for stored procedurs to differentiate what is related to a related type and what is not.

call_procedure

Maps to PGObject::call_procedure with appropriate defaults.

INTERFACES TO OVERRIDE

_get_schema

Defaults to public. This is the type's schema

_get_funcschema

defaults to public.

_get_typename

The name of the composite type. Must be set.

_get_dbh

The database connection to use. Must be set.
