Class::DBI::Query(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Class::DBI::Query(3)NAMEClass::DBI::Query - Deprecated SQL manager for Class::DBI
SYNOPSIS
my $sth = Class::DBI::Query
->new({
owner => $class,
sqlname => $type,
essential => \@columns,
where_columns => \@where_cols,
})
->run($val);
DESCRIPTION
This abstracts away many of the details of the Class::DBI underlying
SQL mechanism. For the most part you probably don't want to be
interfacing directly with this.
The underlying mechanisms are not yet stable, and are subject to change
at any time.
OPTIONS
A Query can have many options set before executing. Most can either be
passed as an option to new(), or set later if you are building the
query up dynamically:
owner
The Class::DBI subclass that 'owns' this query. In the vast majority of
cases a query will return objects - the owner is the class of which
instances will be returned.
sqlname
This should be the name of a query set up using set_sql.
where_clause
This is the raw SQL that will substituted into the 'WHERE %s' in your
query. If you have multiple %s's in your query then you should supply a
listref of where_clauses. This SQL can include placeholders, which will
be used when you call run().
essential
When retrieving rows from the database that match the WHERE clause of
the query, these are the columns that we fetch back and pre-load the
resulting objects with. By default this is the Essential column group
of the owner class.
METHODSwhere()
$query->where($match, @columns);
This will extend your 'WHERE' clause by adding a 'AND $column = ?' (or
whatever $match is, isntead of "=") for each column passed. If you have
multiple WHERE clauses this will extend the last one.
