# NAME SQL::Maker - Yet another SQL builder # SYNOPSIS use SQL::Maker; my $builder = SQL::Maker->new( driver => 'SQLite', # or your favorite driver ); # SELECT ($sql, @binds) = $builder->select($table, \@fields, \%where, \%opt); # INSERT ($sql, @binds) = $builder->insert($table, \%values, \%opt); # DELETE ($sql, @binds) = $builder->delete($table, \%where, \%opt); # UPDATE ($sql, @binds) = $builder->update($table, \%set, \%where); ($sql, @binds) = $builder->update($table, \@set, \%where); # DESCRIPTION SQL::Maker is yet another SQL builder class. It is based on [DBIx::Skinny](https://metacpan.org/pod/DBIx::Skinny)'s SQL generator. # METHODS - `my $builder = SQL::Maker->new(%args);` Create new instance of SQL::Maker. Attributes are the following: - driver: Str Driver name is required. The driver type is needed to create SQL string. - quote\_char: Str This is the character that a table or column name will be quoted with. Default: auto detect from $driver. - name\_sep: Str This is the character that separates a table and column name. Default: '.' - new\_line: Str This is the character that separates a part of statements. Default: '\\n' - strict: Bool Whether or not the use of unblessed references are prohibited for defining the SQL expressions. In strict mode, all the expressions must be declared by using blessed references that export `as_sql` and `bind` methods like [SQL::QueryMaker](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::QueryMaker). Default: undef - `my $select = $builder->new_select(%args|\%args);` Create new instance of [SQL::Maker::Select](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Maker::Select) using the settings from **$builder**. This method returns an instance of [SQL::Maker::Select](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Maker::Select). - `my ($sql, @binds) = $builder->select($table|\@tables, \@fields, \%where|\@where|$where, \%opt);` my ($sql, @binds) = $builder->select('user', ['*'], {name => 'john'}, {order_by => 'user_id DESC'}); # => # SELECT * FROM `user` WHERE (`name` = ?) ORDER BY user_id DESC # ['john'] This method returns the SQL string and bind variables for a SELECT statement. - `$table` - `\@tables` Table name for the **FROM** clause as scalar or arrayref. You can specify the instance of **SQL::Maker::Select** for a sub-query. If you are using `$opt->{joins}` this should be _undef_ since it's passed via the first join. - `\@fields` This is a list for retrieving fields from database. Each element of the `@fields` is normally a scalar or a scalar ref containing the column name. If you want to specify an alias of the field, you can use an arrayref containing a pair of column and alias names (e.g. `['foo.id' => 'foo_id']`). - `\%where` - `\@where` - `$where` where clause from hashref or arrayref via [SQL::Maker::Condition](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Maker::Condition), or [SQL::Maker::Condition](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Maker::Condition) object. - `\%opt` These are the options for the SELECT statement - `$opt->{prefix}` This is a prefix for the SELECT statement. For example, you can provide the 'SELECT SQL\_CALC\_FOUND\_ROWS '. It's useful for MySQL. Default Value: 'SELECT ' - `$opt->{limit}` This option adds a 'LIMIT $n' clause. - `$opt->{offset}` This option adds an 'OFFSET $n' clause. - `$opt->{order_by}` This option adds an **ORDER BY** clause You can write it in any of the following forms: $builder->select(..., {order_by => 'foo DESC, bar ASC'}); $builder->select(..., {order_by => ['foo DESC', 'bar ASC']}); $builder->select(..., {order_by => {foo => 'DESC'}}); $builder->select(..., {order_by => [{foo => 'DESC'}, {bar => 'ASC'}]}); - `$opt->{group_by}` This option adds a **GROUP BY** clause You can write it in any of the following forms: $builder->select(..., {group_by => 'foo DESC, bar ASC'}); $builder->select(..., {group_by => ['foo DESC', 'bar ASC']}); $builder->select(..., {group_by => {foo => 'DESC'}}); $builder->select(..., {group_by => [{foo => 'DESC'}, {bar => 'ASC'}]}); - `$opt->{having}` This option adds a HAVING clause - `$opt->{for_update}` This option adds a 'FOR UPDATE" clause. - `$opt->{joins}` This option adds a 'JOIN' via [SQL::Maker::Select](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Maker::Select). You can write it as follows: $builder->select(undef, ..., {joins => [[user => {table => 'group', condition => 'user.gid = group.gid'}], ...]}); - `$opt->{index_hint}` This option adds an INDEX HINT like as 'USE INDEX' clause for MySQL via [SQL::Maker::Select](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Maker::Select). You can write it as follows: $builder->select(..., { index_hint => 'foo' }); $builder->select(..., { index_hint => ['foo', 'bar'] }); $builder->select(..., { index_hint => { list => 'foo' }); $builder->select(..., { index_hint => { type => 'FORCE', list => ['foo', 'bar'] }); - `my ($sql, @binds) = $builder->insert($table, \%values|\@values, \%opt);` my ($sql, @binds) = $builder->insert(user => {name => 'john'}); # => # INSERT INTO `user` (`name`) VALUES (?) # ['john'] Generate an INSERT query. - `$table` Table name in scalar. - `\%values` These are the values for the INSERT statement. - `\%opt` These are the options for the INSERT statement - `$opt->{prefix}` This is a prefix for the INSERT statement. For example, you can provide 'INSERT IGNORE INTO' for MySQL. Default Value: 'INSERT INTO' - `my ($sql, @binds) = $builder->delete($table, \%where|\@where|$where, \%opt);` my ($sql, @binds) = $builder->delete($table, \%where); # => # DELETE FROM `user` WHERE (`name` = ?) # ['john'] Generate a DELETE query. - `$table` Table name in scalar. - `\%where` - `\@where` - `$where` where clause from hashref or arrayref via [SQL::Maker::Condition](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Maker::Condition), or [SQL::Maker::Condition](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Maker::Condition) object. - `\%opt` These are the options for the DELETE statement - `$opt->{using}` This option adds a USING clause. It takes a scalar or an arrayref of table names as argument: my ($sql, $binds) = $bulder->delete($table, \%where, { using => 'group' }); # => # DELETE FROM `user` USING `group` WHERE (`group`.`name` = ?) # ['doe'] $bulder->delete(..., { using => ['bar', 'qux'] }); - `my ($sql, @binds) = $builder->update($table, \%set|@set, \%where|\@where|$where);` Generate a UPDATE query. my ($sql, @binds) = $builder->update('user', ['name' => 'john', email => 'john@example.com'], {user_id => 3}); # => # 'UPDATE `user` SET `name` = ?, `email` = ? WHERE (`user_id` = ?)' # ['john','john@example.com',3] - $table Table name in scalar. - \\%set Setting values. - \\%where - \\@where - $where where clause from a hashref or arrayref via [SQL::Maker::Condition](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Maker::Condition), or [SQL::Maker::Condition](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Maker::Condition) object. - `$builder->new_condition()` Create new [SQL::Maker::Condition](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Maker::Condition) object from ` $builder ` settings. - `my ($sql, @binds) = $builder->where(\%where)` - `my ($sql, @binds) = $builder->where(\@where)` - `my ($sql, @binds) = $builder->where(\@where)` Where clause from a hashref or arrayref via [SQL::Maker::Condition](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Maker::Condition), or [SQL::Maker::Condition](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Maker::Condition) object. # PLUGINS SQL::Maker features a plugin system. Write the code as follows: package My::SQL::Maker; use parent qw/SQL::Maker/; __PACKAGE__->load_plugin('InsertMulti'); # FAQ - Why don't you use SQL::Abstract? I need a more extensible one. So, this module contains [SQL::Maker::Select](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Maker::Select), the extensible **SELECT** clause object. # AUTHOR Tokuhiro Matsuno # SEE ALSO [SQL::Abstract](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Abstract) [SQL::QueryMaker](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::QueryMaker) The whole code was taken from [DBIx::Skinny](https://metacpan.org/pod/DBIx::Skinny) by nekokak++. # LICENSE Copyright (C) Tokuhiro Matsuno This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
