NAME¶
DBD::Sponge - Create a DBI statement handle from Perl data
SYNOPSIS¶
my $sponge = DBI->connect("dbi:Sponge:","","",{ RaiseError => 1 });
my $sth = $sponge->prepare($statement, {
rows => $data,
NAME => $names,
%attr
}
);
DESCRIPTION¶
DBD::Sponge is useful for making a Perl data structure accessible through a
standard DBI statement handle. This may be useful to DBD module authors who
need to transform data in this way.
METHODS¶
connect()¶
my $sponge = DBI->connect("dbi:Sponge:","","",{ RaiseError => 1 });
Here's a sample syntax for creating a database handle for the Sponge driver. No
username and password are needed.
prepare()¶
my $sth = $sponge->prepare($statement, {
rows => $data,
NAME => $names,
%attr
}
);
- •
- The $statement here is an arbitrary statement or name you want to provide
as identity of your data. If you're using DBI::Profile it will appear in
the profile data.
Generally it's expected that you are preparing a statement handle as if a
"select" statement happened.
- •
- $data is a reference to the data you are providing, given as an array of
arrays.
- •
- $names is a reference an array of column names for the $data you are
providing. The number and order should match the number and ordering of
the $data columns.
- •
- %attr is a hash of other standard DBI attributes that you might pass to a
prepare statement.
Currently only NAME, TYPE, and PRECISION are supported.
BUGS¶
Using this module to prepare INSERT-like statements is not currently documented.
