NAME

DBD::XMLSimple - Access XML data via the DBI interface

VERSION

Version 0.06

SYNOPSIS

Reads XML and makes it available via DBI.

Sadly DBD::AnyData doesn't work with the latest DBI and DBD::AnyData2 isn't out yet, so I am writing this pending the publication of DBD::AnyData2

DBD-XMLSimple doesn't yet expect to support complex XML data, so that's why it's not called DBD-XML.

    use FindBin qw($Bin);
    use DBI;

    my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:XMLSimple(RaiseError => 1):');

    $dbh->func('person', 'XML', "$Bin/../data/person.xml", 'xmlsimple_import');

    my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM person");

Input data will be something like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
    <table>
        <row id="1">
            <name>Nigel Horne</name>
            <email>njh@bandsman.co.uk</email>
        </row>
        <row id="2">
            <name>A N Other</name>
            <email>nobody@example.com</email>
        </row>
    </table>

If a leaf appears twice it will be concatenated

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
    <table>
        <row id="1">
            <name>Nigel Horne</name>
            <email>njh@bandsman.co.uk</email>
            <email>nhorne@pause.org</email>
        </row>
    </table>

    $sth = $dbh->prepare("Select email FROM person");
    $sth->execute();
    $sth->dump_results();

    Gives the output "njh@bandsman.co.uk,nhorne@pause.org"
