This package implements class DBIx::Repgen, which is simple report generator from data received from relational database by some select-statement. Such a report can contain hyerarchical grouping by field values, record counters and cumulative totals (sums) of numeric fields for each group as well as for whole report. Each rerort part formatting may be set as literal string, arguments of sprint function or be code reference.

Constructor has one argument, hashe. Elements of this hashe define the report and are descriebed below.

sth, dbh, query - data source setting

äÁÎÎÙÅ ÄÌÑ ÏÔÞÅÔÁ ÐÏÌÕÞÁÀÔÓÑ ×ÙÐÏÌÎÅÎÉÅÍ ÎÅËÏÔÏÒÏÇÏ select-ÏÐÅÒÁÔÏÒÁ × ÓÒÅÄÅ âä. ÷ÏÚÍÏÖÎÙ ÓÌÅÄÕÀÝÉÅ ÍÅÔÏÄÙ ÚÁÄÁÎÉÑ ÜÔÏÇÏ ÏÐÅÒÁÔÏÒÁ.

The report data are got by executing some select statement against relational database environment. There are following wais for defining this statement.

1. ëÏÎÓÔÒÕËÔÏÒÕ ÐÅÒÅÄÁÅÔÓÑ × ÜÌÅÍÅÎÔÅ sth ÐÏÄÇÏÔÏ×ÌÅÎÎÙÊ (Ô.Å. ÐÏÌÕÞÅÎÎÙÊ ×ÙÐÏÌÎÅÎÉÅÍ $dbh-prepare>), ÎÏ ÅÝÅ ÎÅ ×ÙÐÏÌÎÅÎÎÙÊ ($sth-execute>) ÈÜÎÄÌ ÏÐÅÒÁÔÏÒÁ.

   Constructor receives in sth element prepared ($dbh-prepare>) but not executed ($sth-execute>) statement handle.

2. ëÏÎÓÔÒÕËÔÏÒÕ ÐÅÒÅÄÁÀÔÓÑ ÈÜÎÄÌ ËÏÎÎÅËÃÉÉ Ë âä É ÐÏÌÎÙÊ ÔÅËÓÔ select-ÏÐÅÒÁÔÏÒÁ × ÐÁÒÁÍÅÔÒÁÈ dbh É query, ÓÏÏÔ×ÅÔÓÔ×ÅÎÎÏ. ðÒÉ ÜÔÏÍ ÎÅÏÂÈÏÄÉÍÙÅ prepare É execute ÂÕÄÅÔ ×ÙÐÏÌÎÅÎ ÐÒÉ ÚÁÐÕÓËÅ ÏÔÞÅÔÁ.

   Constructor receives database connection handle (from DBI-connect(...)>) and full text of select statement to be executed. Needed prepare and execute calls will perform by the report run.

3. ëÏÎÓÔÒÕËÔÏÒÕ ÐÅÒÅÄÁÅÔÓÑ ÕÖÅ ÈÜÎÄÌ ×ÙÐÏÌÅÎÎÏÇÏ (execute) ÏÐÅÒÁÔÏÒÁ, ÎÁÐÒÉÍÅÒ ÐÒÉ ÄÉÎÁÍÉÞÅÓËÏÍ ÆÏÒÍÉÒÏ×ÁÎÉÉ sql-ÚÁÐÒÏÓÁ × ×ÙÚÙ×ÁÀÝÅÊ ÐÒÏÇÒÁÍÍÅ. ÷ ÜÔÏÍ ÓÌÕÞÁÅ ÐÒÉ ÚÁÐÕÓËÅ ÏÔÞÅÔÁ ÎÁ ×ÙÐÏÌÎÅÎÉÅ ÎÅ ÂÕÄÕÔ ×ÙÐÏÌÎÑÔØÓÑ prepare É execute. âÏÌÅÅ ÔÏÇÏ, ÄÌÑ ÐÏ×ÔÏÒÎÏÇÏ ÚÁÐÕÓËÁ ÏÔÞÅÔÁ ÎÅÏÂÈÏÄÉÍÏ (ÍÅÔÏÄÏÍ Set) ÕÓÔÁÎÏ×ÉÔØ ÄÌÑ ÏÔÞÅÔÁ ÎÏ×ÙÊ ÈÜÎÄÌ ÏÐÅÒÁÔÏÒÁ, ÄÁÎÎÙÅ ÉÚ ËÏÔÏÒÏÇÏ ÅÝÅ ÎÅ ÓÞÉÔÙ×ÁÌÉÓØ.

   Constructor receives already prepared and executed statement handle. In this case noexec constructor parameter must be set to true. This feature may be useful by dynamic-made select queryes in calling programm. No prepare nor execute action will be performed by report run.

   Important note: you have to reset (by Set method) this statemeny handle before each next report run.

 Samples:

 $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Oracle:SID', 'user', 'password');
 $sth1 = $dbh->prepare('select name, value from tab where value between ? and ?');
 $rep1 = DBIx::Repgen->new(sth => $sth);

 $rep2 = DBIx::Repgen->new(dbh => $dbh, query => "select ... ");

 $sth3 = $dbh->prepare('select ...');
 $sth3->execute(@param);
 $rep3 = DBIx::Repgen->new(sth => $sth3, noexec => 1);

Using first two methods you may parametrize the report. This means sql-query can contain placeholders, for substituting values in report run time. See below about report parameters.

The report may have set of named parameters. Single parameter definition contain its name, number (or some numbers) of placeholders in source select query and optional default value. Parametrs definition is a hash reference, value of constructor's param element. Keys in this hash are parameter names and values contain placeholder numbers and default values.

ÐÒÉÍÅÒ ÎÉÖÅ).

In the simpliest case parameter definition can be just zero-based number of the only placeholder corresponding to this parameter. In more complex cases is is hash reference. This hash must have n key with value of integer or list of integers and may have dflt key, which value must be scalar, code reference or array reference (where first element is code reference).

The n key defines zero based number (or numbers) of placeholdes in source select query corresponding to this parameter. The dflt key defines default value for optional parameters. If value of dflt is code reference then default value is result of this code call (without arguments). If value of dflt is array reference then first element of this array must be code reference. Default value of parameter in this case is result of call this code with arguments - the rest of array.

Sample of parameter definition.

  $rep = DBIx::Repgen->new(
    ...
    param => {
      name => 0,
      dep => {n => 1},
      startdate => {n => [2, 4], dflt => '2000/01/01'},
      enddate => {n => 3, dflt => \&DefEndDate},
      salary => {n => 5, dflt => [sub {...}, 1000, 2000]}
    }
  );

÷ ÐÒÉÍÅÒÅ name É dep - ÏÂÑÚÁÔÅÌØÎÙÅ ÐÁÒÁÍÅÔÒÙ, ÐÏÄÓÔÁ×ÌÑÅÍÙÅ ÎÁ ÍÅÓÔÏ ÎÕÌÅ×ÏÇÏ É ÐÅÒ×ÏÇÏ placeholder-Ï×. startdate ÉÍÅÅÔ Ñ×ÎÏ ÚÁÄÁÎÎÏÅ ÕÍÏÌÞÁÎÉÅ, É ÐÏÄÓÔÁ×ÌÑÅÔÓÑ ÎÁ ÍÅÓÔÏ ×ÔÏÒÏÇÏ É ÞÅÔ×ÅÒÔÏÇÏ placeholder-Á. enddate É salary ÉÍÅÀÔ ÕÍÏÌÞÁÎÉÑ, ÏÐÒÅÄÅÌÑÅÍÙÅ ×ÙÚÏ×ÁÍÉ ËÏÄÁ ÐÒÉ ×ÙÐÏÌÎÅÎÉÉ ÏÔÞÅÔÁ, ÂÅÚ ÐÁÒÁÍÅÔÒÏ× É Ó ÐÁÒÁÍÅÔÒÁÍÉ, ÓÏÏÔ×ÅÔÓÔ×ÅÎÎÏ.

In the example name and dep are required parameters corresponding to zero and first placeholders. startdate has explicit default value and substituted to second and fouth placeholders. enddate and salary have defaults defining by code call in report run time, without and with arguments in correspondence.

The report may be groupped. The group is sequence of records having the constant value of some field. This field called group field. The report may have several includded groups. For group setting you have to define group parameter of report constructor as a reference to an array of group fields.
