package SQL::Library; use strict; use warnings; our $VERSION = 0.0.3; =head1 NAME SQL::Library - A module for managing simple SQL libraries stored in INI-like files. =head1 VERSION This document refers to version 0.0.3 of SQL::Library. =head1 SYNOPSIS use SQL::Library; my $sql = new SQL::Library { lib => 'sql.lib' }; # or { lib => [ ] }; # or { lib => [ $string ] }; ## Ask for a library entry by name... my $query = $sql->retr( 'some_sql_query' ); ## Add or update an entry... $sql->set( 'yet_another_query', <<'END' ); SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE zoot = 1 END ## Remove an entry from the library... $sql->drop( 'one_more_query' ); ## List the entries in the library... print join( ' : ', $sql->elements ), "\n"; ## Dump the contents of the library to a string... my $lib_str = $sql->dump; ## Write the library to disk... $sql->write; =head1 LIBRARY FILE FORMAT The format for the library files looks a little like an INI file. However, unlike an INI file, it does not handle key=value pairs which are divided into sections. Library entry names are on a line by themselves, enclosed in square brackets. Whatever occurs until the next title tag is the value of the library entry. Blank lines, pound signs (#) and C++ style comments (//) are all discarded. A sample library file might look like this: ## A sample library file [get_survey_questions] select question_no, question_text from question where survey_id = ? order by question_no [get_survey_info] select title, date_format( open_date, '%Y%m%d' ) as open_date, date_format( close_date, '%Y%m%d' ) as close_date, template_file from survey where survey_id = ? =head1 OBJECT METHODS =over 4 =item PACKAGE-Enew( HASHREF ) Create a new library handle. Currently, the only argument supported in the hashref is C, which refers to the file containing the SQL library. =cut sub new { my $proto = shift; my $options = shift; my $self = { 'options' => $options, 'contents' => undef }; my $curr_name = ''; my @lib_arr = (); if ( ref $self->{'options'}->{'lib'} eq 'ARRAY' ) { # Could be a filehandle or a string. if ( @{ $self->{'options'}->{'lib'} } == 1 ) { @lib_arr = split /(?<=\n)/, $self->{'options'}->{'lib'}->[0]; } else { @lib_arr = @{ $self->{'options'}->{'lib'} }; } } else { open LIB, $self->{'options'}->{'lib'} or die "Cannot open $self->{'options'}->{'lib'}: $!"; @lib_arr = ; close LIB; } foreach ( @lib_arr ) { next if m{^\s*$}; next if m{^\s*#}; next if m{^\s*//}; if ( m{^\[([^\]]+)\]} ) { $curr_name = $1; next; } if ( $curr_name ) { $self->{'contents'}->{$curr_name} .= $_; } } bless $self, $proto; return $self; } =item $OBJ-Eretr( NAME ) Returns the library entry referenced by NAME. =cut sub retr { my ( $self, $entity_name ) = @_; return $self->{'contents'}->{$entity_name}; } =item $OBJ-Eset( NAME, VALUE ) Sets the library entry NAME to VALUE. This is used both to create new library entries and to update existing ones. =cut sub set { my ( $self, $entity_name, $entity ) = @_; $self->{'contents'}->{$entity_name} = $entity; return $self; } =item $OBJ-Edrop( NAME ) Drops entry NAME form the library. =cut sub drop { my ( $self, $entity_name ) = @_; delete $self->{'contents'}->{$entity_name}; return $self; } =item $OBJ-Eelements Returns a list of all entry names in the library. =cut sub elements { my $self = shift; return sort keys %{$self->{'contents'}}; } =item $OBJ-Edump Returns a string containing the library contents in the same INI format that the module reads from. =cut sub dump { my $self = shift; my $output = ''; foreach ( sort keys %{$self->{'contents'}} ) { $output .= sprintf "[%s]\n%s\n", $_, $self->{'contents'}->{$_}; } return $output; } =item $OBJ-Ewrite Writes the library to the file named in C. =cut sub write { my $self = shift; open OUT, ">$self->{'options'}->{'lib'}" or die "Cannot open $self->{'options'}->{'lib'}: $!"; print OUT $self->dump; close OUT; } =back =head1 AUTHOR Doug Gorley Edouggorley@shaw.caE =head1 BUGS =over 4 =item * write() should write to a string, if it was so called. =back =head1 TO-DO =over 4 =item * Complete test suite =back =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2004 by Doug Gorley.
