=head1 DESCRIPTION

DBI::DBD::SqlEngine abstracts the usage of SQL engines from the
DBD. DBD authors can concentrate on the data retrieval they want to
provide.

It is strongly recommended that you read L<DBD::File::Developers> and
L<DBD::File::Roadmap>, because many of the DBD::File API is provided
by DBI::DBD::SqlEngine.

Currently the API of DBI::DBD::SqlEngine is experimental and will
likely change in the near future to provide the table meta data basics
like DBD::File.

DBI::DBD::SqlEngine expects that any driver in inheritance chain has
a L<DBI prefix|DBI::DBD/The_database_handle_constructor>.

=head2 Metadata

The following attributes are handled by DBI itself and not by
DBI::DBD::SqlEngine, thus they all work as expected:

    Active
    ActiveKids
    CachedKids
    CompatMode             (Not used)
    InactiveDestroy
    AutoInactiveDestroy
    Kids
    PrintError
    RaiseError
    Warn                   (Not used)

=head3 The following DBI attributes are handled by DBI::DBD::SqlEngine:

=head4 AutoCommit

Always on.

=head4 ChopBlanks

Works.

=head4 NUM_OF_FIELDS

Valid after C<< $sth->execute >>.

=head4 NUM_OF_PARAMS

Valid after C<< $sth->prepare >>.

=head4 NAME

Valid after C<< $sth->execute >>; probably undef for Non-Select statements.

=head4 NULLABLE

Not really working, always returns an array ref of ones, as DBD::CSV
does not verify input data. Valid after C<< $sth->execute >>; undef for
non-select statements.

=head3 The following DBI attributes and methods are not supported:

=over 4

=item bind_param_inout

=item CursorName

=item LongReadLen

=item LongTruncOk

=back

=head3 DBI::DBD::SqlEngine specific attributes

In addition to the DBI attributes, you can use the following dbh
attributes:

=head4 sql_engine_version

Contains the module version of this driver (B<readonly>)

=head4 sql_nano_version

Contains the module version of DBI::SQL::Nano (B<readonly>)

=head4 sql_statement_version

Contains the module version of SQL::Statement, if available (B<readonly>)

=head4 sql_handler

Contains the SQL Statement engine, either DBI::SQL::Nano or SQL::Statement
(B<readonly>).

=head4 sql_parser_object

Contains an instantiated instance of SQL::Parser (B<readonly>).
This is filled when used first time (only when used with SQL::Statement).

=head4 sql_sponge_driver

Contains an internally used DBD::Sponge handle (B<readonly>).

=head4 sql_valid_attrs

Contains the list of valid attributes for each DBI::DBD::SqlEngine based
driver (B<readonly>).

=head4 sql_readonly_attrs

Contains the list of those attributes which are readonly (B<readonly>).

=head4 sql_identifier_case

Contains how DBI::DBD::SqlEngine deals with non-quoted SQL identifiers:

  * SQL_IC_UPPER (1) means all identifiers are internally converted
    into upper-cased pendants
  * SQL_IC_LOWER (2) means all identifiers are internally converted
    into lower-cased pendants
  * SQL_IC_MIXED (4) means all identifiers are taken as they are

These conversions happen if (and only if) no existing identifier matches.
Once existing identifier is used as known.

The SQL statement execution classes doesn't have to care, so don't expect
C<sql_identifier_case> affects column names in statements like

  SELECT * FROM foo

=head4 sql_quoted_identifier_case

Contains how DBI::DBD::SqlEngine deals with quoted SQL identifiers
(B<readonly>). It's fixated to SQL_IC_SENSITIVE (3), which is interpreted
as SQL_IC_MIXED.

=head4 sql_flags

Contains additional flags to instantiate an SQL::Parser. Because an
SQL::Parser is instantiated only once, it's recommended to set this flag
before any statement is executed.

=head4 sql_dialect

Controls the dialect understood by SQL::Parser. Possible values (delivery
state of SQL::Statement):

  * ANSI
  * CSV
  * AnyData

Defaults to "CSV".  Because an SQL::Parser is instantiated only once and
SQL::Parser doesn't allow one to modify the dialect once instantiated,
it's strongly recommended to set this flag before any statement is
executed (best place is connect attribute hash).

=head4 sql_engine_in_gofer

This value has a true value in case of this driver is operated via
L<DBD::Gofer>. The impact of being operated via Gofer is a read-only
driver (not read-only databases!), so you cannot modify any attributes
later - neither any table settings. B<But> you won't get an error in
cases you modify table attributes, so please carefully watch
C<sql_engine_in_gofer>.

=head4 sql_meta

Private data area which contains information about the tables this
module handles. Table meta data might not be available until the
table has been accessed for the first time e.g., by issuing a select
on it however it is possible to pre-initialize attributes for each table
you use.

DBI::DBD::SqlEngine recognizes the (public) attributes C<col_names>,
C<table_name>, C<readonly>, C<sql_data_source> and C<sql_identifier_case>.
Be very careful when modifying attributes you do not know, the consequence
might be a destroyed or corrupted table.

While C<sql_meta> is a private and readonly attribute (which means, you
cannot modify it's values), derived drivers might provide restricted
write access through another attribute. Well known accessors are
C<csv_tables> for L<DBD::CSV>, C<ad_tables> for L<DBD::AnyData> and
C<dbm_tables> for L<DBD::DBM>.

=head4 sql_table_source

Controls the class which will be used for fetching available tables.

See L</DBI::DBD::SqlEngine::TableSource> for details.

=head4 sql_data_source

Contains the class name to be used for opening tables.

See L</DBI::DBD::SqlEngine::DataSource> for details.

=head2 Driver private methods

=head3 Default DBI methods

=head4 data_sources

The C<data_sources> method returns a list of subdirectories of the current
directory in the form "dbi:CSV:f_dir=$dirname".

If you want to read the subdirectories of another directory, use

    my ($drh)  = DBI->install_driver ("CSV");
    my (@list) = $drh->data_sources (f_dir => "/usr/local/csv_data");

=head4 list_tables

This method returns a list of file names inside $dbh->{f_dir}.
Example:

    my ($dbh)  = DBI->connect ("dbi:CSV:f_dir=/usr/local/csv_data");
    my (@list) = $dbh->func ("list_tables");

Note that the list includes all files contained in the directory, even
those that have non-valid table names, from the view of SQL.

=head3 Additional methods

The following methods are only available via their documented name when
DBI::DBD::SQlEngine is used directly. Because this is only reasonable for
testing purposes, the real names must be used instead. Those names can be
computed by replacing the C<sql_> in the method name with the driver prefix.

=head4 sql_versions

Signature:

  sub sql_versions (;$) {
    my ($table_name) = @_;
    $table_name ||= ".";
    ...
    }

Returns the versions of the driver, including the DBI version, the Perl
version, DBI::PurePerl version (if DBI::PurePerl is active) and the version
of the SQL engine in use.

    my $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:File:");
    my $sql_versions = $dbh->func( "sql_versions" );
    print "$sql_versions\n";
    __END__
    # DBI::DBD::SqlEngine  0.05 using SQL::Statement 1.402
    # DBI                  1.623
    # OS                   netbsd (6.99.12)
    # Perl                 5.016002 (x86_64-netbsd-thread-multi)

Called in list context, sql_versions will return an array containing each
line as single entry.

Some drivers might use the optional (table name) argument and modify
version information related to the table (e.g. DBD::DBM provides storage
backend information for the requested table, when it has a table name).

=head4 sql_get_meta

Signature:

    sub sql_get_meta ($$)
    {
	my ($table_name, $attrib) = @_;
	...
    }

Returns the value of a meta attribute set for a specific table, if any.
See L<sql_meta> for the possible attributes.

A table name of C<"."> (single dot) is interpreted as the default table.
This will retrieve the appropriate attribute globally from the dbh.
This has the same restrictions as C<< $dbh->{$attrib} >>.

=head4 sql_set_meta

Signature:

    sub sql_set_meta ($$$)
    {
	my ($table_name, $attrib, $value) = @_;
	...
    }

Sets the value of a meta attribute set for a specific table.
See L<sql_meta> for the possible attributes.

A table name of C<"."> (single dot) is interpreted as the default table
which will set the specified attribute globally for the dbh.
This has the same restrictions as C<< $dbh->{$attrib} = $value >>.

=head4 sql_clear_meta

Signature:

    sub sql_clear_meta ($)
    {
	my ($table_name) = @_;
	...
    }

Clears the table specific meta information in the private storage of the
dbh.

=head2 Extensibility

=head3 DBI::DBD::SqlEngine::TableSource

Provides data sources and table information on database driver and database
handle level.

  package DBI::DBD::SqlEngine::TableSource;

  sub data_sources ($;$)
  {
    my ( $class, $drh, $attrs ) = @_;
    ...
  }

  sub avail_tables
  {
    my ( $class, $drh ) = @_;
    ...
  }

The C<data_sources> method is called when the user invokes any of the
following:

  @ary = DBI->data_sources($driver);
  @ary = DBI->data_sources($driver, \%attr);

  @ary = $dbh->data_sources();
  @ary = $dbh->data_sources(\%attr);

The C<avail_tables> method is called when the user invokes any of the
following:

  @names = $dbh->tables( $catalog, $schema, $table, $type );

  $sth = $dbh->table_info( $catalog, $schema, $table, $type );
  $sth = $dbh->table_info( $catalog, $schema, $table, $type, \%attr );

  $dbh->func( "list_tables" );

Every time where an C<\%attr> argument can be specified, this C<\%attr>
object's C<sql_table_source> attribute is preferred over the C<$dbh>
attribute or the driver default, e.g.

  @ary = DBI->data_sources("dbi:CSV:", {
    f_dir => "/your/csv/tables",
    # note: this class doesn't comes with DBI
    sql_table_source => "DBD::File::Archive::Tar::TableSource",
    # scan tarballs instead of directories
  });

When you're going to implement such a DBD::File::Archive::Tar::TableSource
class, remember to add correct attributes (including C<sql_table_source>
and C<sql_data_source>) to the returned DSN's.

=head3 DBI::DBD::SqlEngine::DataSource

Provides base functionality for dealing with tables. It is primarily
designed for allowing transparent access to files on disk or already
opened (file-)streams (e.g. for DBD::CSV).

Derived classes shall be restricted to similar functionality, too (e.g.
opening streams from an archive, transparently compress/uncompress
log files before parsing them,

  package DBI::DBD::SqlEngine::DataSource;

  sub complete_table_name ($$;$)
  {
    my ( $self, $meta, $table, $respect_case ) = @_;
    ...
  }

The method C<complete_table_name> is called when first setting up the
I<meta information> for a table:

  "SELECT user.id, user.name, user.shell FROM user WHERE ..."

results in opening the table C<user>. First step of the table open
process is completing the name. Let's imagine you're having a L<DBD::CSV>
handle with following settings:

  $dbh->{sql_identifier_case} = SQL_IC_LOWER;
  $dbh->{f_ext} = '.lst';
  $dbh->{f_dir} = '/data/web/adrmgr';

Those settings will result in looking for files matching
C<[Uu][Ss][Ee][Rr](\.lst)?$> in C</data/web/adrmgr/>. The scanning of the
directory C</data/web/adrmgr/> and the pattern match check will be done
in C<DBD::File::DataSource::File> by the C<complete_table_name> method.

If you intend to provide other sources of data streams than files, in
addition to provide an appropriate C<complete_table_name> method, a method
to open the resource is required:

  package DBI::DBD::SqlEngine::DataSource;

  sub open_data ($)
  {
    my ( $self, $meta, $attrs, $flags ) = @_;
    ...
  }

After the method C<open_data> has been run successfully, the table's meta
information are in a state which allows the table's data accessor methods
will be able to fetch/store row information. Implementation details heavily
depends on the table implementation, whereby the most famous is surely
L<DBD::File::Table|DBD::File/DBD::File::Table>.

=head1 SQL ENGINES

DBI::DBD::SqlEngine currently supports two SQL engines:
L<SQL::Statement|SQL::Statement> and
L<DBI::SQL::Nano::Statement_|DBI::SQL::Nano>. DBI::SQL::Nano supports a
I<very> limited subset of SQL statements, but it might be faster for some
very simple tasks. SQL::Statement in contrast supports a much larger subset
of ANSI SQL.

To use SQL::Statement, you need at least version 1.401 of
SQL::Statement and the environment variable C<DBI_SQL_NANO> must not
be set to a true value.

=head2 Where can I go for more help?

For questions about installation or usage, please ask on the
dbi-dev@perl.org mailing list.

If you have a bug report, patch or suggestion, please open
a new report ticket on CPAN, if there is not already one for
the issue you want to report. Of course, you can mail any of the
module maintainers, but it is less likely to be missed if
it is reported on RT.

Report tickets should contain a detailed description of the bug or
enhancement request you want to report and at least an easy way to
verify/reproduce the issue and any supplied fix. Patches are always
welcome, too.
