=head1 NAME

Alzabo::Driver - Alzabo base class for RDBMS drivers

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Alzabo::Driver;

  my $driver = Alzabo::Driver->new( rdbms => 'MySQL',
                                    schema => $schema );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is the base class for all Alzabo::Driver modules.  To instantiate
a driver call this class's C<new()> method.  See L<SUBCLASSING
Alzabo::Driver> for information on how to make a driver for the RDBMS
of your choice.

This class throws several, exceptions, one of which,
C<Alzabo::Exception::Driver>, has additional methods not present in
other exception classes.  See L<Alzabo::Exception::Driver METHODS> for
a description of these methods.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 available

Returns a list of names representing the available C<Alzabo::Driver>
subclasses.  Any one of these names would be appropriate as the
"rdbms" parameter for the L<C<< Alzabo::Driver->new
>>|Alzabo::Driver/new> method.

=head2 new

The constructor takes the following parameters:

=over 4

=item * rdbms => $rdbms_name

The name of the RDBMS being used.

=item * schema => C<Alzabo::Schema> object

=back

It returns a new C<Alzabo::Driver> object of the appropriate subclass.

Throws: L<C<Alzabo::Exception::Eval>|Alzabo::Exceptions>

=head2 tables

Returns a list of strings containing the names of the tables in the
database.  See the C<DBI> documentation of the C<DBI-E<gt>tables>
method for more details.

Throws: L<C<Alzabo::Exception::Driver>|Alzabo::Exceptions>

=head2 handle ($optional_dbh)

This method takes one optional parameter, a connected DBI handle.  If
this is given, then this handle is the new handle for the driver.

It returns the active database handle.

Throws: L<C<Alzabo::Exception::Params>|Alzabo::Exceptions>

=head2 Data Retrieval methods

Some of these methods return lists of data (the
L<C<rows>|Alzabo::Driver/rows>,
L<C<rows_hashref>|Alzabo::Driver/rows_hashref>, and
L<C<column>|Alzabo::Driver/column> methods).  With large result sets,
this can use a lot memory as these lists are created in memory before
being returned to the caller.  To avoid this, it may be desirable to
use the functionality provided by the
L<C<Alzabo::DriverStatement>|Alzabo::DriverStatement> class, which
allows you to fetch results one row at a time.

These methods all accept the following parameters:

=over 4

=item * sql => $sql_string

=item * bind => $bind_value or \@bind_values

=item * limit => [ $max, optional $offset ] (optional)

The C<$offset> defaults to 0.

This parameter has no effect for the methods that return only one
row.  For the others, it causes the drivers to skip C<$offset> rows
and then return only C<$max> rows.  This is useful if the RDBMS being
used does not support C<LIMIT> clauses.

=back

=head2 rows

Returns an array of array references containing the data requested.

=head2 rows_hashref

Returns an array of hash references containing the data requested.
The hash reference keys are the columns being selected.  All the key
names are in uppercase.

=head2 one_row

Returns an array or scalar containing the data returned, depending on
context.

=head2 one_row_hash

Returns a hash containing the data requested.  The hash keys are the
columns being selected.  All the key names are in uppercase.

=head2 column

Returns an array containing the values for the first column of each
row returned.

=head2 do

Use this for non-SELECT SQL statements.

Returns the number of rows affected.

Throws: L<C<Alzabo::Exception::Driver>|Alzabo::Exceptions>

=head2 statement

This methods returns a new
L<C<Alzabo::DriverStatement>|Alzabo::DriverStatement> handle, ready to
return data via the L<C<< Alzabo::DriverStatement->next()
>>|Alzabo::DriverStatement/next> or L<C<<
Alzabo::DriverStatement->next_as_hash()
>>|Alzabo::DriverStatement/next_as_hash> methods.

Throws: L<C<Alzabo::Exception::Driver>|Alzabo::Exceptions>

=head2 rdbms_version

Returns the version string of the database backend currently in use.
The form of this string will vary depending on which driver subclass
is being used.

=head2 quote (@strings)

This methods calls the underlying DBI handles C<quote()> method on the
array of strings provided, and returns the quoted versions.

=head2 quote_identifier (@strings)

This methods calls the underlying DBI handles C<quote_identifier()>
method on the array of strings provided, and returns the quoted
versions.

=head1 Alzabo::DriverStatement

This class is a wrapper around C<DBI>'s statement handles.  It finishes
automatically as appropriate so the end user does need not worry about
doing this.

=head2 next

Use this method in a while loop to fetch all the data from a
statement.

Returns an array containing the next row of data for statement or an
empty list if no more data is available.

Throws: L<C<Alzabo::Exception::Driver>|Alzabo::Exceptions>

=head2 next_as_hash

For backwards compatibility, this is also available as C<next_hash()>.

Returns a hash containing the next row of data for statement or an
empty list if no more data is available.  All the keys of the hash
will be lowercased.

Throws: L<C<Alzabo::Exception::Driver>|Alzabo::Exceptions>

=head2 all_rows

If the select for which this statement is cursor was for a single
column (or aggregate value), then this method returns an array
containing each B<remaining> value from the database.

Otherwise, it returns an array of array references, each one
containing a returned row from the database.

Throws: L<C<Alzabo::Exception::Driver>|Alzabo::Exceptions>

=head2 all_rows_hash

Returns an array of hashes, each hash representing a single row
returned from the database.  The hash keys are all in lowercase.

Throws: L<C<Alzabo::Exception::Driver>|Alzabo::Exceptions>

=head2 execute (@bind_values)

Executes the associated statement handle with the given bound
parameters.  If the statement handle is still active (it was
previously executed and has more data left) then its C<finish()>
method will be called first.

Throws: L<C<Alzabo::Exception::Driver>|Alzabo::Exceptions>

=head2 count

Returns the number of rows returned so far.

=head1 Alzabo::Exception::Driver METHODS

In addition to the methods inherited from
L<C<Exception::Class::Base>|Exception::Class::Base>, objects in this
class also contain several methods specific to this subclass.

=head2 sql

Returns the SQL statement in use at the time the error occurred, if
any.

=head2 bind

Returns an array reference contaning the bound parameters for the SQL
statement, if any.

=head1 SUBCLASSING Alzabo::Driver

To create a subclass of C<Alzabo::Driver> for your particular RDBMS is
fairly simple.  First of all, there must be a C<DBD::*> driver for it,
as C<Alzabo::Driver> is built on top of C<DBI>.

Here's a sample header to the module using a fictional RDBMS called FooDB:

 package Alzabo::Driver::FooDB;

 use strict;
 use vars qw($VERSION);

 use Alzabo::Driver;

 use DBI;
 use DBD::FooDB;

 use base qw(Alzabo::Driver);

The next step is to implement a C<new> method and the methods listed
under L<Virtual Methods>.  The C<new> method should look a bit like
this:

 1:  sub new
 2:  {
 3:      my $proto = shift;
 4:      my $class = ref $proto || $proto;
 5:      my %p = @_;
 6:
 7:      my $self = bless {}, $class;
 8:
 9:      return $self;
 10:  }

The hash %p contains any values passed to the
C<Alzabo::Driver-E<gt>new> method by its caller.

Lines 1-7 should probably be copied verbatim into your own C<new>
method.  Line 5 can be deleted if you don't need to look at the
parameters.

Look at the included C<Alzabo::Driver> subclasses for examples.  Feel
free to contact me for further help if you get stuck.  Please tell me
what database you're attempting to implement, what its DBD::* driver
is, and include the code you've written so far.

=head2 Virtual Methods

The following methods are not implemented in C<Alzabo::Driver> itself
and must be implemented in a subclass.

=head3 Parameters for connect(), create_database(), and drop_database()

=over 4

=item * user => $db_username

=item * password => $db_pw

=item * host => $hostname

=item * port => $port

=back

All of these default to undef.  See the appropriate DBD driver
documentation for more details.

After the driver is created, it will have access to its associated
schema object in C<< $self->{schema} >>.

=head2 connect

Some drivers may accept or require more arguments than specified
above.

Note that C<Alzabo::Driver> subclasses are not expected to cache
connections.  If you want to do this please use C<Apache::DBI> under
mod_perl or don't call C<connect()> more than once per process.

=head2 create_database

Attempts to create a new database for the schema attached to the
driver.  Some drivers may accept or require more arguments than
specified above.

=head2 drop_database

Attempts to drop the database for the schema attached to the driver.

=head2 schemas

Returns a list of schemas in the specified RDBMS.  This method may
accept some or all of the parameters which can be given to
C<connect()>.

=head2 supports_referential_integrity

Should return a boolean value indicating whether or not the RDBMS
supports referential integrity constraints.

=head2 next_sequence_number (C<Alzabo::Column> object)

This method is expected to return the value of the next sequence
number based on a column object.  For some databases (MySQL, for
example), the appropriate value is C<undef>.  This is accounted for in
the Alzabo code that calls this method.

=head2 begin_work

Notify Alzabo that you wish to start a transaction.

=head2 rollback

Rolls back the current transaction.

=head2 commit

Notify Alzabo that you wish to finish a transaction.  This is
basically the equivalent of calling commit.

=head2 get_last_id

Returns the last primary key id created via a sequenced column.

=head2 rdbms_version

Returns the version of the server to which the driver is connected.

=head2 driver_id

Returns the driver's name.  This should be something that can be
