POE::Component::EasyDBI - Perl extension for asynchronous non-blocking DBI calls in POE

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use POE qw( Component::EasyDBI );

    # Set up the DBI
    POE::Component::EasyDBI->spawn( # or new(), witch returns an obj
        alias       => 'EasyDBI',
        dsn         => 'DBI:mysql:database=foobaz;host=192.168.1.100;port=3306',

=head1 ABSTRACT

    This module simplifies DBI usage in POE's multitasking world.

    This module is easy to use, you'll have DBI calls in your POE program
    up and running in no time.

    It also works in Windows environments!

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module works by creating a new session, then spawning a child process
to do the DBI queries. That way, your main POE process can continue servicing
other clients.

The standard way to use this module is to do this:

    use POE;
    use POE::Component::EasyDBI;

    POE::Component::EasyDBI->spawn( ... );

    POE::Session->create( ... );

    POE::Kernel->run();

=head2 Starting EasyDBI

To start EasyDBI, just call it's spawn method. (or new for an obj)

This one is for Postgresql:

    POE::Component::EasyDBI->spawn(
        alias       => 'EasyDBI',
        dsn         => 'DBI:Pg:dbname=test;host=10.0.1.20',
        username    => 'user',
        password    => 'pass',
    );

This one is for mysql:

    POE::Component::EasyDBI->spawn(
        alias       => 'EasyDBI',
        dsn         => 'DBI:mysql:database=foobaz;host=192.168.1.100;port=3306',
        username    => 'user',
        password    => 'pass',
    );

This method will die on error or return success.

Note the difference between dbname and database, that is dependant on the 
driver used, NOT EasyDBI

NOTE: If the SubProcess could not connect to the DB, it will return an error,
causing EasyDBI to croak/die.

NOTE: Starting with version .10, I've changed new() to return a EasyDBI object
and spawn() returns a session reference.  Also, create() is the same as spawn().
See L<OBJECT METHODS>.

This constructor accepts 6 different options.

=over 4

=item C<alias>

This will set the alias EasyDBI uses in the POE Kernel.
This will default TO "EasyDBI" if undef

If you do not want to use aliases, specify '' as the ailas.  This helps when
spawning many EasyDBI objects. See L<OBJECT METHODS>.

=item C<dsn>

This is the DSN (Database connection string)

EasyDBI expects this to contain everything you need to connect to a database
via DBI, without the username and password.

For valid DSN strings, contact your DBI driver's manual.

=item C<username>

This is the DB username EasyDBI will use when making the call to connect

=item C<password>

This is the DB password EasyDBI will use when making the call to connect

=item C<options>

Pass a hash ref that normally would be after the $password param on a 
DBI->connect call.

=item C<max_retries>

This is the max number of times the database wheel will be restarted, default
is 5.  Set this to -1 to retry forever.

=item C<ping_timeout>

Optional. This is the timeout to ping the database handle.  If set to 0 the
database will be pinged before every query.  The default is 0.

=item C<no_connect_failures>

Optional. If set to a true value, the connect_error event will be valid, but not
necessary.  If set to a false value, then connection errors will be fatal.

=item C<connect_error>

Optional. Supply a array ref of session_id or alias and an event.  Any connect
errors will be posted to this session and event with the query that failed as
ARG0 or an empty hash ref if no query was in the queue.  The query will be
retried, so DON'T resend the query.  If this parameter is not supplied, the
normal behavour will be to drop the subprocess and restart L<max_retries> times.

=item C<reconnect_wait>

Optional. Defaults to 2 seconds. After a connection failure this is the time
to wait until another connection is attempted.  Setting this to 0 would not
be good for your cpu load.

=item C<connected>

Optional. Supply a array ref of session_id or alias and an event.  When
the component makes a successful connection this event will be called
with the next query as ARG0 or an empty hash ref if no queries are in the queue.
DON'T resend the query, it will be processed.

=item C<no_cache>

Optional. If true, prepare_cached won't be called on queries.  Use this when
using L<DBD::AnyData>.  This can be overridden with each query.

=item C<alt_fork>

Optional. If 1, an alternate type of fork will be used for the database
process.  This usually results in lower memory use of the child.
You can also specify alt_fork => '/path/to/perl' if you are using POE inside of
another app like irssi.
*Experimental, and WILL NOT work on Windows Platforms*

=item C<stopwatch>

Optional. If true, L<Time::Stopwatch> will be loaded and tied to the 'stopwatch'
key on every query.  Check the stopwatch key in the return event to measure how
long a query took.

=head2 Events

There is only a few events you can trigger in EasyDBI.
They all share a common argument format, except for the shutdown event.


Note: you can change the session that the query posts back to, it uses $_[SENDER]
as the default.

You can use a postback, or callback (See POE::Session)

For example:

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
        quote => {
                sql => 'foo$*@%%sdkf"""',
                event => 'quoted_handler',
                session => 'dbi_helper', # or session id
        }
    );

or

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
        quote => {
                sql => 'foo$*@%%sdkf"""',
                event => $_[SESSION]->postack("quoted_handler"),
                session => 'dbi_helper', # or session id
        }
    );

=item C<quote>

    This sends off a string to be quoted, and gets it back.

    Internally, it does this:

    return $dbh->quote( $SQL );

    Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
        quote => {
            sql => 'foo$*@%%sdkf"""',
            event => 'quoted_handler',
        }
    );

    The Success Event handler will get a hash ref in ARG0:
    {
        sql     =>  Unquoted SQL sent
        result  =>  Quoted SQL
    }

=item C<do>

    This query is for those queries where you UPDATE/DELETE/etc.

    Internally, it does this:

    $sth = $dbh->prepare_cached( $sql );
    $rows_affected = $sth->execute( $placeholders );
    return $rows_affected;

    Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
        do => {
            sql => 'DELETE FROM FooTable WHERE ID = ?',
            placeholders => [ qw( 38 ) ],
            event => 'deleted_handler',
        }
    );

    The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
    {
        sql             =>  SQL sent
        result          =>  Scalar value of rows affected
        rows            =>  Same as result
        placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
    }

=item C<single>

    This query is for those queries where you will get exactly one row and
    column back.

    Internally, it does this:

    $sth = $dbh->prepare_cached( $sql );
    $sth->bind_columns( %result );
    $sth->execute( $placeholders );
    $sth->fetch();
    return %result;

    Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
        single => {
            sql => 'Select test_id from FooTable',
            event => 'result_handler',
        }
    );

    The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
    {
        sql             =>  SQL sent
        result          =>  scalar
        placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
    }

=item C<arrayhash>

    This query is for those queries where you will get more than one row and
    column back. Also see arrayarray

    Internally, it does this:

    $sth = $dbh->prepare_cached( $SQL );
    $sth->execute( $PLACEHOLDERS );
    while ( $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref() ) {
        push( @results,{ %{ $row } } );
    }
    return @results;

    Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
        arrayhash => {
            sql => 'SELECT this, that FROM my_table WHERE my_id = ?',
            event => 'result_handler',
            placeholders => [ qw( 2021 ) ],
        }
    );

    The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
    {
        sql             =>  SQL sent
        result          =>  Array of hashes of the rows ( array of fetchrow_hashref's )
        rows            =>  Scalar value of rows
        placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
        cols            =>  An array of the cols in query order
    }

=item C<hashhash>

    This query is for those queries where you will get more than one row and
    column back.

    The primary_key should be UNIQUE! If it is not, then use hasharray instead.

    Internally, it does something like this:

    if ($primary_key =~ m/^\d+$/) {
        if ($primary_key} > $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS}) {
            die "primary_key is out of bounds";
        }
        $primary_key = $sth->{NAME}->[($primary_key-1)];
    }
    
    for $i ( 0 .. $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS}-1 ) {
        $col{$sth->{NAME}->[$i]} = $i;
        push(@cols, $sth->{NAME}->[$i]);
    }

    $sth = $dbh->prepare_cached( $SQL );
    $sth->execute( $PLACEHOLDERS );
    while ( @row = $sth->fetch_array() ) {
        foreach $c (@cols) {
            $results{$row[$col{$primary_key}]}{$c} = $row[$col{$c}];
        }
    }
    return %results;

    Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
        hashhash => {
            sql => 'SELECT this, that FROM my_table WHERE my_id = ?',
            event => 'result_handler',
            placeholders => [ qw( 2021 ) ],
            primary_key => "2",  # making 'that' the primary key
        }
    );

    The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
    {
        sql             =>  SQL sent
        result          =>  Hashes of hashes of the rows
        rows            =>  Scalar value of rows
        placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
        cols            =>  An array of the cols in query order
    }

=item C<hasharray>

    This query is for those queries where you will get more than one row 
    and column back.

    Internally, it does something like this:

    # find the primary key
    if ($primary_key =~ m/^\d+$/) {
        if ($primary_key} > $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS}) {
            die "primary_key is out of bounds";
        }
        $primary_key = $sth->{NAME}->[($primary_key-1)];
    }
    
    for $i ( 0 .. $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS}-1 ) {
        $col{$sth->{NAME}->[$i]} = $i;
        push(@cols, $sth->{NAME}->[$i]);
    }
    
    $sth = $dbh->prepare_cached( $SQL );
    $sth->execute( $PLACEHOLDERS );
    while ( @row = $sth->fetch_array() ) {
        push(@{ $results{$row[$col{$primary_key}}]} }, @row);
    }
    return %results;

    Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
        hasharray => {
            sql => 'SELECT this, that FROM my_table WHERE my_id = ?',
            event => 'result_handler',
            placeholders => [ qw( 2021 ) ],
            primary_key => "1",  # making 'this' the primary key
        }
    );

    The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
    {
        sql             =>  SQL sent
        result          =>  Hashes of hashes of the rows
        rows            =>  Scalar value of rows
        placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
        primary_key     =>  'this' # the column name for the number passed in
        cols            =>  An array of the cols in query order
    }

=item C<array>

    This query is for those queries where you will get more than one row with
    one column back. (or joined columns)

    Internally, it does this:

    $sth->execute( $PLACEHOLDERS );
    while ( @row = $sth->fetchrow_array() ) {
        if ($separator) {
            push( @results,join($separator,@row) );
        } else {
            push( @results,join(',',@row) );
        }
    }
    return @results;

    Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
        array => {
            sql => 'SELECT this FROM my_table WHERE my_id = ?',
            event => 'result_handler',
            placeholders => [ qw( 2021 ) ],
            separator => ',', # default separator
        }
    );

    The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
    {
        sql             =>  SQL sent
        result          =>  Array of scalars (joined with separator if more
            than one column is returned)
        rows            =>  Scalar value of rows
        placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
    }

=item C<arrayarray>

    This query is for those queries where you will get more than one row and

        }
    }
    return %results;

    Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
        hash => {

            event => 'result_handler',
            placeholders => [ qw( 2021 ) ],
        }
    );

    The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:

        sql             =>  SQL sent
        result          =>  Hash
        rows            =>  Scalar value of rows
        placeholders    =>  Original placeholders
    }

            table => 'users',
            last_insert_id => {
                field => 'user_id', # mysql uses SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID instead
                table => 'users',   # of these values, just specify {} for mysql
            },
            # or last_insert_id can be => 'SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()' or some other
            # query that will return a value
        },
    );

    The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:

        rows            =>  Number of rows affected
        result          =>  Same as rows
    }

=item C<func>

    This is for calling $dbh->func(), when using a driver that supports it.  
    
    Internally, it does this:

    return $dbh->func(@{$args});

    Here's an example on how to trigger this event (Using DBD::AnyData):

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
        func => {
            args => ['test2','CSV',["id,phrase\n1,foo\n2,bar"],'ad_import'],

        }
    );

    The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
    {
        sql             =>  SQL sent
        result          =>  return value
    }

=item C<commit>

    This is for calling $dbh->commit(), if the driver supports it.
    
    Internally, it does this:

    return $dbh->commit();

    Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
        commit => {
            event => 'result_handler',
        }
    );

    The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
    {
        sql             =>  SQL sent
        result          =>  return value
    }

=item C<rollback>

    This is for calling $dbh->rollback(), if the driver supports it.
    
    Internally, it does this:

    return $dbh->rollback();

    Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
        rollback => {
            event => 'result_handler',
        }
    );

    The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
    {
        sql             =>  SQL sent
        result          =>  return value
    }

=item C<begin_work>

    This is for calling $dbh->begin_work(), if the driver supports it.
    
    Internally, it does this:

    return $dbh->begin_work();

    Here's an example on how to trigger this event:

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI',
        begin_work => {
            event => 'result_handler',
        }
    );

    The Success Event handler will get a hash in ARG0:
    {
        sql             =>  SQL sent
        result          =>  return value
    }

=item C<shutdown>

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI', 'shutdown' );

    This will signal EasyDBI to start the shutdown procedure.

    NOTE: This will let all outstanding queries run!
    EasyDBI will kill it's session when all the queries have been processed.

    you can also specify an argument:

    $kernel->post( 'EasyDBI', 'shutdown' => 'NOW' );

    This will signal EasyDBI to shutdown.

    NOTE: This will NOT let the outstanding queries finish!
    Any queries running will be lost!

    Due to the way POE's queue works, this shutdown event will take some time
    to propagate POE's queue. If you REALLY want to shut down immediately, do
    this:

    $kernel->call( 'EasyDBI', 'shutdown' => 'NOW' );

    ALL shutdown NOW's send kill 9 to thier children, beware of any 
    transactions that you may be in. Your queries will revert if you are in
    transaction mode

=back

=head3 Arguments

They are passed in via the $kernel->post( ... );

Note: all query types can be in ALL-CAPS or lowercase but not MiXeD!

ie ARRAYHASH or arrayhash but not ArrayHash


=over 4

=item C<sql>

This is the actual SQL line you want EasyDBI to execute.
You can put in placeholders, this module supports them.

=item C<placeholders>

This is an array of placeholders.

You can skip this if your query does not use placeholders in it.

=item C<event>

This is the success/failure event, triggered whenever a query finished
successfully or not.

It will get a hash in ARG0, consult the specific queries on what you will get.

***** NOTE *****

In the case of an error, the key 'error' will have the specific error that
occurred.  Always, always, _always_ check for this in this event.

***** NOTE *****

=item C<separator>

Query types single, and array accept this parameter.
The default is a comma (,) and is optional

If a query has more than one column returned, the columns are joined with
the 'separator'.

=item C<primary_key>

Query types hashhash, and hasharray accept this parameter.
It is used to key the hash on a certain field

=item C<chunked>

All multi-row queries can be chunked.

You can pass the parameter 'chunked' with a number of rows to fire the 'event'
event for every 'chunked' rows, it will fire the 'event' event. (a 'chunked'
key will exist) A 'last_chunk' key will exist when you have received the last
chunk of data from the query

=item C<last_insert_id>

See the insert event for a example of its use.

=item C<begin_work>

Optional.  Works with all queries.  You should have AutoCommit => 0 set on
connect.

=item C<commit>

Optional.  After a successful 'do' or 'insert', a commit is performed.
ONLY used when using C<do> or C<insert>

=item (arbitrary data)

You can pass custom keys and data not mentioned above, BUT I suggest using a
prefix like _ in front of your custom keys.  For example:

    $_[KERNEL->post( 'EasyDBI',
        do => {
            sql => 'DELETE FROM sessions WHERE ip = ?',
            placeholders => [ $ip ],
            _ip => $ip,
            _port => $port,
            _filehandle => $fh,
        }
    );

If I were to add an option 'filehandle' (for importing data from a file for 
instance) you don't want an upgrade to produce BAD results.

=head2 OBJECT METHODS

When using new() to spawn/create the EasyDBI object, you can use the methods
listed below

NOTE: The object interface will be improved in later versions, please send
suggestions to the author.

=over 4

=item C<ID>

This retrieves the session ID.  When managing a pool of EasyDBI objects, you
can set the alias to '' (nothing) and retrieve the session ID in this manner.

    $self->ID()

=item C<commit, rollback, begin_work, func, method, insert, do, single, quote, arrayhash, hashhash, hasharray, array, arrayarray, hash, keyvalhash, combo, shutdown>

All query types are now supported as object methods.  For example:

    $self->arrayhash(
        sql => 'SELECT user_id,user_login from users where logins = ?',
        event => 'arrayash_handler',
        placeholders => [ qw( 53 ) ],
    );

=item C<DESTROY>

This will shutdown EasyDBI.

    $self->DESTROY()
