=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use SQL::Abstract::Limit;

    my $sql = SQL::Abstract::Limit->new( limit_dialect => 'LimitOffset' );;

    # or autodetect from a DBI $dbh:
    my $sql = SQL::Abstract::Limit->new( limit_dialect => $dbh );

    # or from a Class::DBI class:
    my $sql = SQL::Abstract::Limit->new( limit_dialect => 'My::CDBI::App' );

    # or object:
    my $obj = My::CDBI::App->retrieve( $id );
    my $sql = SQL::Abstract::Limit->new( limit_dialect => $obj );

    # generate SQL:
    my ( $stmt, @bind ) = $sql->select( $table, \@fields, \%where, \@order, $limit, $offset );

    # Then, use these in your DBI statements
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare( $stmt );
    $sth->execute( @bind );

    # Just generate the WHERE clause (only available for some syntaxes)
    my ( $stmt, @bind )  = $sql->where( \%where, \@order, $limit, $offset );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Portability layer for LIMIT emulation.

=over 4

=item new( case => 'lower', cmp => 'like', logic => 'and', convert => 'upper', limit_dialect => 'Top' )

All settings are optional.

=over 8

=item limit_dialect

Sets the default syntax model to use for emulating a C<LIMIT $rows OFFSET $offset>
clause. Default setting is C<GenericSubQ>. You can still pass other syntax
settings in method calls, this just sets the default. Possible values are:

    LimitOffset     PostgreSQL, SQLite
    LimitXY         MySQL, MaxDB, anything that uses SQL::Statement
    LimitYX         SQLite (optional)
    RowsTo          InterBase/FireBird

    Top             SQL/Server, MS Access
    RowNum          Oracle
    FetchFirst      DB2
    Skip            Informix
    GenericSubQ     Sybase, plus any databases not recognised by this module

    $dbh            a DBI database handle

    CDBI subclass
    CDBI object

    other DBI-based thing

The first group are implemented by appending a short clause to the end of the
statement. The second group require more intricate wrapping of the original
statement in subselects.

You can pass a L<DBI|DBI> database handle, and the module will figure out which
dialect to use.

You can pass a L<Class::DBI|Class::DBI> subclass or object, and the module will
find the C<$dbh> and use it to find the dialect.

Anything else based on L<DBI|DBI> can be easily added by locating the C<$dbh>.
Patches or suggestions welcome.

=back

Other options are described in L<SQL::Abstract|SQL::Abstract>.

=item select( $table, \@fields, $where, [ \@order, [ $rows, [ $offset ], [ $dialect ] ] ] )

Same as C<SQL::Abstract::select>, but accepts additional C<$rows>, C<$offset>
and C<$dialect> parameters.

The C<$order> parameter is required if C<$rows> is specified.

The C<$fields> parameter is required, but can be set to C<undef>, C<''> or
C<'*'> (all these get set to C<'*'>).

The C<$where> parameter is also required. It can be a hashref 
or an arrayref, or C<undef>.

    my $self   = shift;

    # with no LIMIT parameters, defer to SQL::Abstract
    return $self->SUPER::select( $table, $fields, $where, $order ) unless $rows;
    
    # with LIMIT parameters, get the basic SQL without the ORDER BY clause

    return wantarray ? ( $sql, @bind ) : $sql;
}

=item where( [ $where, [ \@order, [ $rows, [ $offset ], [ $dialect ] ] ] ] )

Same as C<SQL::Abstract::where>, but accepts additional C<$rows>, C<$offset>
and C<$dialect> parameters.

Some SQL dialects support syntaxes that can be applied as simple phrases
tacked on to the end of the WHERE clause. These are:

    LimitOffset
    LimitXY
    LimitYX
    RowsTo

This method returns a modified WHERE clause, if the limit syntax is set to one
of these options (either in the call to C<where> or in the constructor), and
if C<$rows> is passed in.

Dies via C<croak> if you try to use it for other syntaxes.

C<$order> is required if C<$rows> is set.

C<$where> is required if any other parameters are specified. It can be a hashref 
or an arrayref, or C<undef>.

Returns a regular C<WHERE> clause if no limits are set.

=head2 Limit emulation

The following dialects are available for emulating the LIMIT clause. In each
case, C<$sql> represents the SQL statement generated by C<SQL::Abstract::select>,
minus the ORDER BY clause, e.g.

    SELECT foo, bar FROM my_table WHERE some_conditions

C<$sql_after_select> represents C<$sql> with the leading C<SELECT> keyword
removed.

C<order_cols_up> represents the sort column(s) and direction(s) specified in
the C<order> parameter.

C<order_cols_down> represents the opposite sort.

C<$last = $rows + $offset>

When all else fails, this should work for many databases, but it is probably
fairly slow.

This method relies on having a column with unique values as the first column in
the C<SELECT> clause (i.e. the first column in the C<\@fields> parameter). The
results will be sorted by that unique column, so any C<$order> parameter is
ignored, unless it matches the unique column, in which case the direction of
the sort is honored.

=item Syntax

    SELECT field_list FROM $table X WHERE where_clause AND
    (
        SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $table WHERE $pk > X.$pk
    )
    BETWEEN $offset AND $last
    ORDER BY $pk $asc_desc

C<$pk> is the first column in C<field_list>.

C<$asc_desc> is the opposite direction to that specified in the method call. So
if you want the final results sorted C<ASC>, say so, and it gets flipped
internally, but the results come out as you'd expect. I think.

The C<BETWEEN $offset AND $last> clause is replaced with C<E<lt> $rows> if
<$offset == 0>.

    )
    < 100
    ORDER BY id DESC

        SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_xyz WHERE id > X.id

    ORDER BY id DESC

We can adapt the generic Top N query to this task. I would not use the generic
method when TOP or LIMIT is available, but you're right, the previous answer
is incomplete without this.

Using the same table and column names, the top 100 ids are given by:

SELECT id, field1, fieldn FROM table_xyz X
 WHERE ( SELECT COUNT(*)
           FROM table_xyz
          WHERE id > X.id ) < 100
 ORDER BY id DESC

The subquery is correlated, which means that it will be evaluated for each row
of the outer query. The subquery says "count the number of rows that have an
id that is greater than this id." Note that the sort order is descending, so
we are looking for ids that are greater, i.e. higher up in the result set. If
that number is less than 100, then this row must be one of the top 100. Simple,
eh? Unfortunately, it runs quite slowly. Furthermore, it takes ties into
consideration, which is good, but this means that the number of rows returned
isn't always going to be exactly 100 -- there will be extra rows if there are
ties extending across the 100th place.

Next, we need the second set of 100:

select id
     , field1
     , fieldn
  from table_xyz X
 where ( select count(*)
           from table_xyz
          where id > X.id ) between 100 and 199
 order by id desc

See the pattern? Note that the same caveat applies about ties that extend
across 200th place.

=head1 SUBCLASSING

You can create your own syntax by making a subclass that provides an
C<emulate_limit> method. This might be useful if you are using stored procedures
to provide more efficient paging.

=over 4

=item emulate_limit( $self, $sql, $order, $rows, $offset )

=over 4

=item $sql

This is the SQL statement built by L<SQL::Abstract|SQL::Abstract>, but without
the ORDER BY clause, e.g.

    SELECT foo, bar FROM my_table WHERE conditions

or just

    WHERE conditions

if calling C<where> instead of C<select>.

=item $order

The C<order> parameter passed to the C<select> or C<where> call. You can get
an C<ORDER BY> clause from this by calling

    my $order_by = $self->_order_by( $order );

You can get a pair of C<ORDER BY> clauses that sort in opposite directions by
saying

    my ( $up, $down ) = $self->_order_directions( $order );

=back

The method should return a suitably modified SQL statement.

=back

=head1 AUTO-DETECTING THE DIALECT

The C<$dialect> parameter that can be passed to the constructor or to the
C<select> and C<where> methods can be a number of things. The module will
attempt to determine the appropriate syntax to use.

Supported C<$dialect> things are:

    dialect name (e.g. LimitOffset, RowsTo, Top etc.)
    database moniker (e.g. Oracle, SQLite etc.)
    DBI database handle
    Class::DBI subclass or object

=head1 CAVEATS

Paging results sets is a complicated undertaking, with several competing factors
to take into account. This module does B<not> magically give you the optimum
paging solution for your situation. It gives you a solution that may be good
enough in many situations. But if your tables are large, the SQL generated here
will often not be efficient. Or if your queries involve joins or other
complications, you will probably need to look elsewhere.

But if your tables aren't too huge, and your queries straightforward, you can
just plug this module in and move on to your next task.
