SYNOPSIS
my $sponge = DBI->connect("dbi:Sponge:","","",{ RaiseError => 1 });
my $sth = $sponge->prepare($statement, {
rows => $data,
NAME => $names,
%attr
}
);
DESCRIPTION
DBD::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.METHODS
connect()
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.AUTHOR AND COPYRIGHT
