=head1 NAME

DBIx::SimpleQuery - Query databases using as little code as possible

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use DBIx::SimpleQuery;
  
  DBIx::SimpleQuery::set_defaults(
      "dsn"      => "DBI:Pg:test_database",
      "user"     => "test_user",
      "password" => "test_password",
  );
  
  sub get_name {
      my $user_id = qs(shift());
      return query "SELECT name FROM users WHERE user_id = $user_id";
  }
  
  print get_name("mo'connor") . "\n";
  
  
  foreach my $name (query "SELECT name FROM users ORDER BY name") {
      print $name . "\n";
  }
  
  foreach my $row (query "SELECT user_id, name FROM users") {
      print $row->{"user_id"} . "\t" . $row->{"name"} . "\n";
  }
  

=head1 DESCRIPTION

DBIx::SimpleQuery is designed for anyone who wants to run specific SQL
commands against a database with as little surrounding structure as
possible.

It exports two functions, query and qs (quote-string), which allow you
to include SQL in your code without needing to deal with database
handlers, DSNs, and the like.

qs() escapes a string and surrounds it with single quotes, so that it
can be safely embedded in a query.  Whenever possible, it uses the
appropriate DBD module to do this.

query() runs one or more queries against a database, and returns a
value or a structure that can be evaluated in a number of ways,
depending on your need.

Multi-word functions may be called either in function_name or
functionName form, as per your preference.

=head2 Methods

=over 4

=item * new([%connection_defaults]);

Returns a DBIx::SimpleQuery object that allows you to reuse the same
connection properties in multiple queries.

If you pass a hash containing keys "dsn", "user", and "password",
these values will be used when making the database connection.

=item * qs($string)

Return a quoted and escaped version of $string.  Whenever possible, it
will use the appropriate DBD module's escape function.  If that is not
available, it replaces single quotes with two single quotes
(s{'}{''}g).

=item * query($query), $sql->query($query), query($query, %parameters)

Connect to the database and execute $query.  If only one row and
column are returned by the query, it will returned to the calling
function.  If only one column is returned, but there are multiple
rows, it will return an array of the values of that column.
Otherwise, a DBIx::SimpleQuery::Object will be returned containing the
results of the query.

If you pass in connection parameters (see the new method above), they
will be used instead of the defaults for this query.

=item * set_defaults(%connection_defaults)

Sets the default connection parameters for calls to query() and qs().
%connection_defaults should contain keys "dsn", "user", and
"password".  See the synopsis for an example.

=item * get_dsn()

=item * get_user()

=item * get_password()

Return the values that SimpleQuery intends to use for each parameter.
