NAME

App::SQLiteUtils - Utilities related to SQLite

VERSION

This document describes version 0.005 of App::SQLiteUtils (from Perl distribution App-SQLiteUtils), released on 2021-09-13.

DESCRIPTION

This distribution includes several utilities:

FUNCTIONS

import_csv_to_sqlite

Usage:

import_csv_to_sqlite(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Import a CSV file into SQLite database.

This tool utilizes the sqlite3 command-line client to import a CSV file into SQLite database. It pipes the following commands to the sqlite3 CLI:

.mode csv
.import CSVNAME TABLENAME

where CSVNAME is the CSV filename and TABLENAME is the table name.

If CSV filename is not specified, will be assumed to be - (stdin).

If table name is not specified, it will be derived from the CSV filename (basename) with extension removed. - will become stdin. All non-alphanumeric characters will be replaced with _ (underscore). If filename starts with number, t prefix will be added. If table already exists, a suffix of _2, _3, and so on will be added. Some examples:

CSV filename          Table name         Note
------------          ----------         ----
-                     stdin
-                     stdin_2            If 'stdinC<already exists
/path/to/t1.csv       t1
/path/to/t1.csv       t1_2               If 't1> already exists
/path/to/t1.csv       t1_3               If 't1C<and>t1_2` already exist
./2.csv               t2
report 2021.csv       report_2021
report 2021.rev1.csv  report_2021

Note that the sqlite3 CLI client can be used non-interactively as well. You can pipe the commands to its stdin, e.g.:

% echo -e ".mode csv\n.import /PATH/TO/FILE.CSV TABLENAME" | sqlite3 DB_FILE

But this utility gives you convenience of picking a table name automatically.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • csv_file => filename (default: "-")

  • db_file* => filename

  • table => str

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

list_sqlite_columns

Usage:

list_sqlite_columns(%args) -> any

See also the .schema and .fullschema meta-command of the sqlite3 CLI.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • db_file* => filename

  • table* => str

Return value: (any)

list_sqlite_tables

Usage:

list_sqlite_tables(%args) -> any

See also the .tables meta-command of the sqlite3 CLI.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • db_file* => filename

Return value: (any)

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
