=head1 DESCRIPTION

DBIx::Simple provides a simplified interface to DBI, Perl's powerful database
module.

This module is aimed at rapid development and easy maintenance. Query
preparation and execution are combined in a single method, the result object
(which is a wrapper around the statement handle) provides easy row-by-row and
slurping methods. 

The C<query> method returns either a result object, or a dummy object. The
dummy object returns undef (or an empty list) for all methods and when used in
boolean context, is false. The dummy object lets you postpone (or skip) error
checking, but it also makes immediate error checking simply C<< 
$db->query(...) or die $db->error >>.

=head2 DBIx::Simple methods

=over 4

=item C<< DBIx::Simple->connect($dbh) >>

=item C<< DBIx::Simple->connect($dsn, $user, $pass, \%options) >>

=item C<< DBIx::Simple->new($dbh) >>

=item C<< DBIx::Simple->new($dsn, $user, $pass, \%options) >>

The C<connect> or C<new> class method takes either an existing DBI object
($dbh), or a list of arguments to pass to C<< DBI->connect >>. See L<DBI> for a
detailed description.

You cannot use this method to clone a DBIx::Simple object: the $dbh passed
should be a DBI::db object, not a DBIx::Simple object.

This method is the constructor and returns a DBIx::Simple object on success. On
failure, it returns undef.

=item C<< abstract = SQL::Abstract->new(...) >>

Sets the object to use with the C<select>, C<insert>, C<update> and C<delete>
methods. On first access, will create one with SQL::Abstract's default options.

I<Requires that Nathan Wiger's SQL::Abstract module be installed. It is available
from CPAN.>

In theory, you can assign any object to this property, as long as that object
has these four methods, and they return a list suitable for use with the
C<query> method.

=item C<emulate_subqueries = $bool>

This property is gone forever. Use DBIx::Simple::SQE if you need subquery
emulation. Don't forget to read its documentation first.

=item C<lc_columns = $bool>

When true at time of query execution, makes C<columns>, C<hash>, C<new_hash>,
C<hashes>, and C<map_hashes> use lower cased column names. C<lc_columns> is
true by default.

=item C<keep_statements = $integer>

Sets the number of statement objects that DBIx::Simple can keep for reuse. This
can dramatically speed up repeated queries (like when used in a loop).
C<keep_statements> is 16 by default. 

A query is only reused if it equals a previously used one literally. This means
that to benefit from this caching mechanism, you must use placeholders and
never interpolate variables yourself.

    # Wrong:
    $db->query("INSERT INTO foo VALUES ('$foo', '$bar', '$baz')");
    $db->query("SELECT FROM foo WHERE foo = '$foo' OR bar = '$bar'");

    # Right:
    $db->query('INSERT INTO foo VALUES (??)', $foo, $bar, $baz);
    $db->query('SELECT FROM foo WHERE foo = ? OR bar = ?', $foo, $baz);

Of course, automatic value escaping is a much better reason for using
placeholders.

=item C<error>

Returns the error string of the last DBI method. See the discussion of "C<err>"
and "C<errstr>" in L<DBI>.

=item C<query($query, @values)>

The C<query> method prepares and executes the query and returns a result object.

If an omniholder (the string C<(??)>) is present in the query, it is replaced
with a list of as many question marks as @values. If subquery emulation (see
above) is enabled, subquery results are interpolated in the main query before
the main query is executed.

The database drivers substitute placeholders (question marks that do not appear
in quoted literals) in the query with the given @values, after them escaping
them. You should always use placeholders, and never use raw user input in
database queries.

On success, returns a DBIx::Simple::Result object.

On failure, returns a DBIx::Simple::Dummy object.

=item C<select>, C<insert>, C<update>, C<delete>

Calls the respective method on C<abstract> and uses it with C<query>. In other
words: these are high level forms of C<query>.

See the C<abstract> for more information, and read SQL::Abstract's
documentation for usage information.

Obviously, calling C<query> directly is faster for the computer and using these
abstracting methods is faster for the programmer.

=item C<begin_work>, C<begin>, C<commit>, C<rollback>

These transaction related methods call the DBI respective methods and
Do What You Mean. See L<DBI> for details.

C<begin> is an alias for C<begin_work>.

=item C<func(...)>

This calls the C<func> method of DBI. See L<DBI> for details.

=item C<last_insert_id(...)>

This calls the C<last_insert_id> method of DBI. See L<DBI> for details. Note
that this feature requires DBI 1.38 or newer.

=item C<dbh>

Exposes the internal database handle. Use this only if you know what you are
doing. Keeping a reference or doing queries can interfere with DBIx::Simple's
garbage collection and error reporting.

=item C<disconnect>

Destroys (finishes) active statements and disconnects. Whenever the database
object is destroyed, this happens automatically. After disconnecting, you can
no longer use the database object or any of its result objects.

=back

=head2 DBIx::Simple::Dummy

The C<query> method of DBIx::Simple returns a dummy object on failure. Its
methods all return an empty list or undef, depending on context. When used in
boolean context, a dummy object evaluates to false.

=over 12

=item C<columns>

Returns a list of column names. In scalar context, returns an array reference.

Column names are lower cased if C<lc_underscores> was true when the query was
executed.

=item C<bind(LIST)>

Binds the given LIST to the columns. The elements of LIST must be writable
LVALUEs. In other words, use this method as:

    $result->bind(my ($foo, $bar));
    $result->fetch;

Or, combined:

    $result->into(my ($foo, $bar));

Unlike with DBI's C<bind_columns>, the C<\> operator is not needed.

Bound variables are very efficient. Binding a tied variable doesn't work.

=item C<fetch>

Fetches a single row and returns a reference to the array that holds the
values. This is the same array every time.

Subsequent fetches (using any method) may change the values in the variables
passed and the returned reference's array.

=item C<into(LIST)>

Combines C<bind> with C<fetch>. Returns what C<fetch> returns.

=item C<list>

Fetches a single row and returns a list of values. In scalar context, 
returns only the last value.

=item C<array>

Fetches a single row and returns an array reference.

=item C<hash>

Fetches a single row and returns a hash reference.

Keys are lower cased if C<lc_underscores> was true when the query was executed.

=item C<flat>

Fetches all remaining rows and returns a flattened list.

=item C<arrays>

Fetches all remaining rows and returns a list of array references.

In scalar context, returns an array reference.

=item C<hashes>

Fetches all remaining rows and returns a list of hash references. 

In scalar context, returns an array reference.

Keys are lower cased if C<lc_underscores> was true when the query was executed.

=item C<map_arrays($column_number)>

Constructs a hash of array references keyed by the values in the chosen column.

In scalar context, returns a hash reference.

=item C<map_hashes($column_name)>

Constructs a hash of hash references keyed by the values in the chosen column.

In scalar context, returns a hash reference.

=item C<map>

Constructs a simple hash, using the first two columns as key/value pairs.
Should only be used with queries that return two columns.

In scalar context, returns a hash reference.

=item C<rows>

Returns the number of rows affected by the last row affecting command, or -1 if
the number of rows is not known or not available.

For SELECT statements, it is generally not possible to know how many rows are
returned. MySQL does provide this information. See L<DBI> for a detailed
explanation.

=item C<xto(%attr)>

Returns a DBIx::XHTML_Table object, passing the constructor a reference to
C<%attr>.

I<Requires that Jeffrey Hayes Anderson's DBIx::XHTML_Table module be installed. 
It is available from CPAN.>

In general, using the C<html> method (described below) is much easier. C<xto> 
is available in case you need more flexibility.

This method ignores the C<lc_columns> property.

=item C<html(%attr)>

Returns an (X)HTML formatted table, using the DBIx::XHTML_Table module. Passes
a reference to C<%attr> to both the constructor and the C<output> method. 

I<Requires that Jeffrey Hayes Anderson's DBIx::XHTML_Table module be installed. 
It is available from CPAN.>

This method is a shortcut method. That means that

    $result->html

    $result->html(
        tr => { bgcolor => [ 'silver', 'white' ] }, 
        no_ucfirst => 1
    )

do the same as:

    $result->xto->output

    $result->xto(
        tr => { bgcolor => [ 'silver', 'white' ] }
    )->output(
        no_ucfirst => 1
    );

=item C<text($type)>

Returns a string with a simple text representation of the data. C<$type>
can be any of: C<neat>, C<table>, C<box>. It defaults to C<table> if
Text::Table is installed, to C<neat> if it is.

I<C<table> and C<box> require that Anno Siegel's Text::Table module be
installed. It is available from CPAN.>


=item C<attr(...)>

Returns a copy of an sth attribute (property). See L<DBI/"Statement Handle
Attributes"> for details.

=item C<func(...)>

This calls the C<func> method of DBI. See L<DBI> for details.

=item C<finish>

Finishes the statement. After finishing a statement, it can no longer be used.
When the result object is destroyed, its statement handle is automatically
finished and destroyed. There should be no reason to call this method
explicitly; just let the result object go out of scope.

=head1 MISCELLANEOUS

Although this module has been tested thoroughly in production environments, it
still has no automated test suite. If you want to write tests, please contact
me.

The mapping methods do not check whether the keys are unique. Rows that are
fetched later overwrite earlier ones.

PrintError is disabled by default. If you enable it, beware that it will report
line numbers in DBIx/Simple.pm.
