NAME

DBIx::Connection - Simple database interface.

SYNOPSIS

use DBIx::Connection;
my $connection = DBIx::Connection->new(
  name                 => 'my_connection_name',
  dsn                  => 'dbi:Oracle:localhost:1521/ORCL',
  username             => 'user',
  password             => 'password',
  db_session_variables => {
    NLS_DATE_FORMAT => 'DD.MM.YYYY'
  }
);

or
my $dbh = DBI->connect(...);
my $connection = DBIx::Connection->new(
  name  => 'my_connection_name',
  dbh   => $dbh,
  db_session_variables => {
    NLS_DATE_FORMAT => 'DD.MM.YYYY'
  }
);    


my $cursor = $connection->query_cursor(sql => "select * from emp where deptno > ?", name => 'emp_select');
my $dataset = $cursor->execute([20]);
while ($cursor->fetch) {
    #do some stuff ...
    print $_ . " => " . $dataset->{$_}
      for keys %$dataset;
}

{
    my $cursor = $connection->find_query_cursor('emp_select');
    my $dataset = $cursor->execute([20]);
    ...
}


my $record = $connection->record("select * from emp where empno = ?", 'xxx');

my $sql_handler = $connection->sql_handler(sql => "INSERT INTO emp(empno, ename) VALUES(?, ?)", name => 'emp_ins');
$sql_handler->execute(1, 'Smith');
$sql_handler->execute(2, 'Witek');

{
    my $sql_handler= $connection->find_sql_handler('emp_ins');
    $sql_handler->execute(3, 'Zzz');
    ...
}

#or

$connection->execute_statement("INSERT INTO emp(empno, ename) VALUES(?, ?)", 1, 'Smith');



#gets connection by name.
my $connection = DBIx::Connection->connection('my_connection_name');

do stuff

# returns connection to connection pool
$connection->close();


#turn on connection pooling
$DBIx::Connection::CONNECTION_POOLING = 1;

In this mode only connection may have the following states : in_use and NOT in_use,
Only connection that is "NOT in use" state can be retrieve by invoking DBIx::Connection->connection, and
state changes to "in use".  Close method change state back to NOT in_use.
If in connection pool there are not connections in "NOT in use" state, then the new connection is cloned.

my $connection = DBIx::Connection->connection('my_connection_name');


# do stuff ...
$connection->close();

#preserving resource by physical disconnecting all connection that are idle by defined threshold (sec).
$DBIx::Connection::IDLE_THRESHOLD = 300;

DESCRIPTION

Represents a database connection handler.

It provides simple interface to managing database connections with the all related operations wrapped in the different sql handlers.

$connection = DBIx::Connection->connection('my_connection_name');

eval {
    $connection->begin_work();
    my $sql_handler = $connection->sql_handler(sql => "INSERT INTO emp(empno, ename) VALUES(?, ?)");
    $sql_handler->execute(1, 'Smith');
    ...

    $connection->commit();
};

if($@) {
    $connection->rollback();
}

$connection->close();

It supports:

sql handlers(dml) -(INSERT/UDPDATE/DELETE)

my $sql_handler = $connection->sql_handler(sql => "INSERT INTO emp(empno, ename) VALUES(?, ?)");
$sql_handler->execute(1, 'Smith');

query cursors - SELECT ... FROM ...

my $query_cursor = $connection->query_cursor(
    sql        => "
    SELECT t.* FROM (
    SELECT 1 AS col1, 'text 1' AS col2 " . ($dialect eq 'oracle' ? ' FROM dual' : '') . "
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 2 AS col1, 'text 2' AS col2 " . ($dialect eq 'oracle' ? ' FROM  dual' : '') . "
    ) t
    WHERE 1 = ? "
);
my $resultset = $cursor->execute([1]);
while($cursor->fetch()) {
   # do some stuff
   # $resultset 
}

plsql handlers - BEGIN ... END

my $plsql_handler = $connection->plsql_handler(
    name        => 'test_block',
    plsql       => "BEGIN
    :var1 := :var2 + :var3;
    END;",
    bind_variables => {
        var1 => {type => 'SQL_INTEGER'},
        var2 => {type => 'SQL_INTEGER'},
        var3 => {type => 'SQL_INTEGER'}
    }
);
my $resultset = $plsql_handler->execute(var2 => 12, var3 => 8);

Connection is cached by its name.

DBIx::Connection->new(
    name                 => 'my_connection_name',
    dsn                  => 'dbi:Oracle:localhost:1521/ORCL',
    username             => 'user',
    password             => 'password',
);

$connection = DBIx::Connection->connection('my_connection_name');

RDBMS session variables supports.

my $databaseHandler = DBIx::Connection->new(
    name                 => 'my_connection_name',
    dsn                  => 'dbi:Oracle:localhost:1521/ORCL',
    username             => 'user',
    password             => 'password',
    db_session_variables => {
        NLS_DATE_FORMAT => 'DD.MM.YYYY'
    }
)

It caches sql statements based on handler's name.

$connection->sql_handler(name => 'emp_ins', sql => "INSERT INTO emp(empno, ename) VALUES(?, ?)");
my $sql_handler = $connection->find_sql_handler('emp_ins');
$sql_handler->execute(1, 'Smith');

Database usage:

This module allows gathering sql statistics issued by application

Automatic reporting:

$connection->set_collect_statistics(1);
$connection->set_statistics_dir('/sql_usage');

Error handler customization:

It supports error handler customization.

my $error_handler = sub {
    my (self, $message, $sql_handler) = @_;
    #do some stuff
};
$connection->set_custom_error_handler($error_handler);

Sequences support:

$connection->sequence_value('emp_seq');

Large Object support;

$connection->update_lob(lob_test => 'blob_content', $lob_content,  {id => 1}, 'doc_size');
my $lob = $connection->fetch_lob(lob_test => 'blob_content', {id => 1}, 'doc_size');
