DBD::Sponge(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation DBD::Sponge(3)NAMEDBD::Sponge - Create a DBI statement handle from Perl data
SYNOPSIS
my $sponge = DBI->connect("dbi:Sponge:","","",{ RaiseError => 1 });
my $sth = $sponge->prepare($statement, {
rows => $data,
NAME => $names,
%attr
}
);
DESCRIPTIONDBD::Sponge is useful for making a Perl data structure accessible
through a standard DBI statement handle. This may be useful to DBD
module authors who need to transform data in this way.
METHODSconnect()
my $sponge = DBI->connect("dbi:Sponge:","","",{ RaiseError => 1 });
Here's a sample syntax for creating a database handle for the Sponge
driver. No username and password are needed.
prepare()
my $sth = $sponge->prepare($statement, {
rows => $data,
NAME => $names,
%attr
}
);
· The $statement here is an arbitrary statement or name you want to
provide as identity of your data. If you're using DBI::Profile it
will appear in the profile data.
Generally it's expected that you are preparing a statement handle
as if a "select" statement happened.
· $data is a reference to the data you are providing, given as an
array of arrays.
· $names is a reference an array of column names for the $data you
are providing. The number and order should match the number and
ordering of the $data columns.
· %attr is a hash of other standard DBI attributes that you might
pass to a prepare statement.
Currently only NAME, TYPE, and PRECISION are supported.
BUGS
Using this module to prepare INSERT-like statements is not currently
documented.
