NAME
Data::Phrasebook::SQL::Query - Query Extension to the SQL/DBI Phrasebook Model.
SYNOPSIS
my $q = $book->query( 'find_author' );
my $q = $book->query( 'find_author', 'Dictionary' );DESCRIPTION
An extension to the SQL class to specifically handle the DBI interface for each query requested.
CONSTRUCTOR
new
Not to be accessed directly, but via the parent Data::Phrasebook, by specifying the class as SQL.
METHODS
sql
Get/set the current sql statement, in a form suitable for passing straight to DBI.
sth
Get/set the current statement handle.
args
Return list of arguments that will be used as bind parameters to any placeholders. Any given arguments will replace the whole list.
Returns list in list context, arrayref in scalar.
order
As for args, but regarding the corresponding list of argument names.
The assorted order_XXX methods are supported as for args_XXX.
dbh
Get/set the database handle.
PREPARATION / EXECUTING METHODS
execute
Executes the query. Returns the result of DBI::execute.
Any arguments are given to order_args with the return of that method being used as arguments to DBI::execute. If no arguments, uses those already specified.
Calls prepare if necessary.
order_args
Given a hash or hashref of keyword to value mappings, organises an array of arguments suitable for use as bind parameters in the order needed by the query itself.
prepare
Prepares the query for execution. This method is called implicitly in most cases so you generally don't need to know about it.
rebind
Rebinds any bound values. Lets one pass a scalar reference in the arguments to order_args and have the bound value update if the original scalar changes.
This method is not needed externally to this class.
DELEGATED METHODS
Any method not mentioned above is given to the statement handle.
All these delegations will implicitly call prepare.
