It also describes the same-number versions for Perl 5 of Muldis::DB::Interface::DBMS ("DBMS"), Muldis::DB::Interface::Var ("Var"), Muldis::DB::Interface::FuncBinding ("FuncBinding"), and Muldis::DB::Interface::ProcBinding ("ProcBinding"). =head1 SYNOPSIS This simple example declares two Perl variables containing relation data, then does a (N-ary) relational join (natural inner join) on them, producing a third Perl variable holding the relation data of the result. use Muldis::DB::Interface; my $dbms = Muldis::DB::Interface::new_dbms({ 'engine_name' => 'Muldis::DB::Engine::Example', 'dbms_config' => {}, }); my $r1 = $dbms->new_var({ 'decl_type' => 'sys.Core.Relation.Relation' }); my $r2 = $dbms->new_var({ 'decl_type' => 'sys.Core.Relation.Relation' }); $r1->store_ast({ 'ast' => [ 'Relation', 'sys.Core.Relation.Relation', [ { 'x' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 4 ], 'y' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 7 ], }, { 'x' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 3 ], 'y' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 2 ], }, ] ] }); $r2->store_ast({ 'ast' => [ 'Relation', 'sys.Core.Relation.Relation', [ { 'y' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 5 ], 'z' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 6 ], }, { 'y' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 2 ], 'z' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 1 ], }, { 'y' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 2 ], 'z' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 4 ], }, ] ] }); my $r3 = $dbms->call_func( 'func_name' => 'sys.Core.Relation.join', 'args' => { 'topic' => [ 'QuasiSet', 'sys.Core.Spec.QuasiSetOfRelation', [ $r1, $r2, ], } ); my $r3_ast = $r3->fetch_ast(); # Then $r3_ast contains: # [ 'Relation', 'sys.Core.Relation.Relation', [ # { # 'x' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 3 ], # 'y' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 2 ], # 'z' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 1 ], # }, # { # 'x' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 3 ], # 'y' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 2 ], # 'z' => [ 'PInt', 'perl_pint', 4 ], # }, # ] ] For most examples of using Muldis DB, and tutorials, please see the separate L distribution (when that comes to exist). =head1 DESCRIPTION B, aka I, comprises the minimal core of the Muldis DB framework, the one component that probably every program would use. Together with the Muldis D language (see L), it defines the common API for Muldis DB implementations to do and which applications invoke. I =head1 INTERFACE The interface of Muldis::DB::Interface is fundamentally object-oriented; you use it by creating objects from its member classes (or more specifically, of implementing subclasses of its member roles) and then invoking methods on those objects. All of their attributes are private, so you must use accessor methods. To aid portability of your applications over multiple implementing Engines, the normal way to create Interface objects is by invoking a constructor-wrapping method of some other object that would provide context for it; since you generally don't have to directly invoke any package names, you don't need to change your code when the package names change due to switching the Engine. You only refer to some Engine's root package name once, as a C argument, and even that can be read from a config file rather than being hard-coded in your application. The usual way that Muldis::DB::Interface indicates a failure is to throw an exception; most often this is due to invalid input. If an invoked routine simply returns, you can assume that it has succeeded, even if the return value is undefined. =head2 The Muldis::DB::Interface Module The C module is the stateless root package by way of which you access the whole Muldis DB API. That is, you use it to load engines and instantiate virtual machines, which provide the rest of the Muldis DB API. =over =item C This constructor function creates and returns a C object that is implemented by the Muldis DB Engine named by its named argument C<$engine_name>; that object is initialized using the C<$dbms_config> argument. The named argument C<$engine_name> is the name of a Perl module that is expected to be the root package of a Muldis DB Engine, and which is expected to declare a C subroutine with a single named argument C<$dbms_config>; invoking this subroutine is expected to return an object of some class of the same Engine which does the Muldis::DB::Interface::DBMS role. This function will start by testing if the root package is already loaded (it may be declared by some already-loaded file of another name), and only if not, will it do a Perl 'require' of the C<$engine_name>. =back =head2 The Muldis::DB::Interface::DBMS Role A C object represents a single active Muldis DB virtual machine / Muldis D environment, which is the widest scope stateful context in which any other database activities happen. Other activities meaning the compilation and execution of Muldis D code, mounting or unmounting depots, performing queries, data manipulation, data definition, and transactions. If a C object is ever garbage collected by Perl while it has any active transactions, then those will all be rolled back, and then an exception thrown. =over =item C This method creates and returns a new C object that is associated with the invocant C, and whose declared Muldis D type is named by the C<$decl_type> argument, and whose default Muldis D value is the default value of its declared type. =item C This method returns, as elements of a new (unordered) Array, all the currently existing C objects that are associated with the invocant C. =item C This method creates and returns a new C object that is associated with the invocant C. =item C This method returns, as elements of a new (unordered) Array, all the currently existing C objects that are associated with the invocant C. =item C This method creates and returns a new C object that is associated with the invocant C. =item C This method returns, as elements of a new (unordered) Array, all the currently existing C objects that are associated with the invocant C. =item C This method invokes the Muldis D function named by its C<$func_name> argument, giving it arguments from C<$args>, and then returning the result as a new C object. This method is conceptually a wrapper over the creation of a C object, setting up its bindings, and invoking its C method. =item C This method invokes the Muldis D procedure named by its C<$proc_name> argument, giving it subject-to-update arguments from C<$upd_args> and read-only arguments from C<$ro_args>; the C objects in C<$upd_args> are possibly updated as a side-effect of the procedure's execution. This method is conceptually a wrapper over the creation of a C object, setting up its bindings, and invoking its C method. =item C This method returns the current transaction nesting level of its invocant's virtual machine. If no explicit transactions were started, then the nesting level is zero, in which case the DBMS is conceptually auto-committing every successful Muldis D statement. Each call of C will increase the nesting level by one, and each C or C will decrease it by one (it can't be decreased below zero). Note that all transactions started or ended within Muldis D code are attached to a particular lexical scope in the Muldis D code (specifically a "try/catch" context), and so they will never have any effect on the nest level that Perl sees (assuming that a Muldis D host language will never be invoked by Muldis D), regardless of whether the Muldis D code successfully returns or throws an exception. =item C This method starts a new child-most transaction within the invocant's virtual machine. =item C This method commits the child-most transaction within the invocant's virtual machine; it dies if there isn't one. =item C This method rolls back the child-most transaction within the invocant's virtual machine; it dies if there isn't one. =back =head2 The Muldis::DB::Interface::Var Role A C object is a Muldis D variable that is lexically scoped to the Perl environment (like an ordinary Perl variable). It is associated with a specific C object, the one whose C method created it, but it is considered anonymous and non-invokable within the virtual machine. The only way for Muldis D code to work with these variables is if they bound to Perl invocations of Muldis D routines being C by Perl; a Muldis D routine parameter one is bound to is the name it is referenced by in the virtual machine. C objects are the normal way to directly share or move data between the Muldis D and Perl environments. A C is strongly typed, and the declared Muldis D type of the variable (which affects what values it is allowed to hold) is set when the C object is created, and this declared type can't be changed afterwards. =over =item C This method returns the C object that the invocant C is associated with. =item C This method returns the declared Muldis D type of its invocant C. =item C This method returns the current Muldis D value of its invocant C as a Perl Hosted Abstract Muldis D data structure (whose root node is a Perl Array). =item C This method assigns a new Muldis D value to its invocant C, which is supplied in the C<$ast> argument; the argument is expected to be a valid Perl Hosted Abstract Muldis D data structure (whose root node is a Perl Array). =back =head2 The Muldis::DB::Interface::FuncBinding Role A C represents a single Muldis D function that may be directly invoked by Perl code. It is associated with a specific C object, the one whose C method created it, and the function it represents lives in and has a global-public scoped name in the corresponding virtual machine. This is specifically a lazy binding, so no validity checking of the object happens except while the FuncBinding's C method is being executed, and a then-valid object can then become invalid afterwards. A C is conceptually used behind the scenes to implement a C object's C method, but you can use it directly instead, for possibly better performance. =over =item C This method returns the C object that the invocant C is associated with. =item C This method causes the invocant C to be associated with the Muldis D function named by the C<$func_name> argument. =item C This method returns the name of the Muldis D function that the invocant C is currently associated with, or undef if that wasn't set. =item C This method binds the C object in C<$var> to the result of the Muldis D function associated with the invocant C; when the function is executed via the FuncBinding, its result will end up in C<$var>. =item C This method returns the C object currently bound to the function result. =item C This method binds the C objects that are the Hash values in C<$args> to the parameters of the Muldis D function such that they correspond by Hash key names matching parameter names; when the function is executed via the FuncBinding, its arguments are pulled from the C<$args>. Note that the same C object may be bound to multiple parameters and/or the result at once. This method alternately allows a Perl Array which is Perl Hosted Muldis D to be supplied instead of any given C object, in which case a new C object will be non-lazily created with that value, and be used there. =item C This method returns, as values of a new Hash, the C objects currently bound to the function's parameters, with the corresponding Hash keys being the names of the parameters they are bound to. =item C This method performs any lazy validation on the invocant C, and with no failure, it then invokes the Muldis D function. It is at this time that the current values of any bound C objects are taken. =back =head2 The Muldis::DB::Interface::ProcBinding Role A C represents a single Muldis D procedure that may be directly invoked by Perl code. It is associated with a specific C object, the one whose C method created it, and the procedure it represents lives in and has a global-public scoped name in the corresponding virtual machine. This is specifically a lazy binding, so no validity checking of the object happens except while the ProcBinding's C method is being executed, and a then-valid object can then become invalid afterwards. A C is conceptually used behind the scenes to implement a C object's C method, but you can use it directly instead, for possibly better performance. =over =item C This method returns the C object that the invocant C is associated with. =item C This method causes the invocant C to be associated with the Muldis D procedure named by the C<$proc_name> argument. =item C This method returns the name of the Muldis D procedure that the invocant C is currently associated with, or undef if that wasn't set. =item C This method binds the C objects that are the Hash values in C<$args> to the subject-to-update parameters of the Muldis D procedure such that they correspond by Hash key names matching parameter names; when the procedure is executed via the ProcBinding, its subject-to-update arguments (if they would be used) are pulled from the C<$args>, and resulting values are written to them (if applicable). =item C This method returns, as values of a new Hash, the C objects currently bound to the procedure's subject-to-update parameters, with the corresponding Hash keys being the names of the parameters they are bound to. =item C This method binds the C objects that are the Hash values in C<$args> to the read-only parameters of the Muldis D procedure such that they correspond by Hash key names matching parameter names; when the procedure is executed via the ProcBinding, its read-only arguments are pulled from the C<$args>. Note that the same C object may be bound to multiple parameters and/or the result at once. This method alternately allows a Perl Array which is Perl Hosted Muldis D to be supplied instead of any given C object, in which case a new C object will be non-lazily created with that value, and be used there. =item C This method returns, as values of a new Hash, the C objects currently bound to the procedure's read-only parameters, with the corresponding Hash keys being the names of the parameters they are bound to. =item C This method performs any lazy validation on the invocant C, and with no failure, it then invokes the Muldis D procedure. It is at this time that the current values of any bound C objects are taken. =back =head1 DIAGNOSTICS I =head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT I =head1 DEPENDENCIES This file requires any version of Perl 5.x.y that is at least 5.8.1. =head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES None reported. =head1 SEE ALSO Go to L for the majority of distribution-internal references, and L for the majority of distribution-external references. =head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS The Muldis DB framework for Perl 5 is built according to certain old-school or traditional Perl-5-land design principles, including that there are no explicit attempts in code to enforce privacy of the framework's internals, besides not documenting them as part of the public API. (The Muldis DB framework for Perl 6 is different.) That said, you should still respect that privacy and just use the public API that Muldis DB provides. If you bypass the public API anyway, as Perl 5 allows, you do so at your own peril. I =head1 AUTHOR Darren Duncan (C) =head1 LICENSE AND COPYRIGHT This file is part of the Muldis DB framework.
