Apache2::Controller::SQL::MySQL - useful database methods for MySQL

VERSION

Version 1.000.111

SYNOPSIS

 package UFP::SFC::Controller::Tools;
 use base qw( 
     Apache2::Controller 
     Apache2::Controller::SQL::MySQL
 );
 # ...

DESCRIPTION

Provides some useful methods for interacting with a MySQL database.

This isn't really standard or a necessary part of A2C, I just find it handy.

METHODS

insert_hash

 insert_hash( \%hashref )

Insert data into the database.

 # http://sfc.ufp/tools/register_crew/enterprise?captain=kirk&sci=spock&med=mccoy
 sub register_crew {
     my ($self, $ship) = @_; 
     my $crew = $self->param();
     $self->insert_hash({
         table    => "crew_$ship",
         data     => $crew,
     });
     $self->print("Warp factor 5, engage.\n");
     return Apache2::Const::HTTP_OK;
 }

Requires a database handle be assigned to $self->{dbh}. See Apache2::Controller::DBI::Connector.

Hashref argument supports these fields:

table: The SQL table to insert into.
data: The hash ref of field data to insert.
on_dup_sql: Optional string of SQL for after 'ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE'. Format it yourself.
on_dup_bind: Array ref of bind values for extra ? characters in on_dup_sql.
