NAME

DBIx::Placeholder::Named - DBI with named placeholders

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use DBIx::Placeholder::Named;
my $dbh = DBIx::Placeholder::Named->connect($dsn, $user, $password)
  or die DBIx::Placeholder::Named->errstr;
my $sth = $dbh->prepare(
  q{ INSERT INTO some_table (this, that) VALUES (:this, :that) }
)
  or die $dbh->errstr;
$sth->execute({ this => $this, that => $that, });
$dbh =
  DBIx::Placeholder::Named->connect( $dsn, $user, $password,
    { PlaceholderPrefix => '__', PlaceholderSuffix => '**' } );
my $sth = $dbh->prepare(
  q{ INSERT INTO some_table (this, that) VALUES (__this**, __that**) }
);
            
          

DESCRIPTION

DBIx::Placeholder::Named is a subclass of DBI, which implements the ability to understand named placeholders.

METHODS

DBIx::Placeholder::Named::connect()

This method, overloaded from DBI, is responsible to create a new connection to database. It is overloaded to accept new keywords within the $attr hash.

            

              
              
my $dbh =
  DBIx::Placeholder::Named->connect( $dsn, $user, $password,
    { RaiseError => 1, PlaceholderSuffix => '', PlaceholderPrefix => ':', } );
            
          

By default, PlaceholderPrefix is : and PlaceholderSuffix is empty string.

DBIx::Placeholder::Named::connect_cached()

This method, overloaded from DBI, is responsible to create a cached connection to database. It is overloaded to accept new keywords within the $attr hash.

            

              
              
my $dbh =
  DBIx::Placeholder::Named->connect_cached( $dsn, $user, $password,
    { RaiseError => 1, PlaceholderSuffix => '', PlaceholderPrefix => ':', } );
            
          

By default, PlaceholderPrefix is : and PlaceholderSuffix is empty string.

DBIx::Placeholder::Named::db::prepare()

This method, overloaded from DBI, is responsible to create a prepared statement for further execution. It is overloaded to accept a SQL query which has named placeholders, like:

            

              
              
SELECT a, b, c FROM t WHERE id = :id
            
          

It uses SQL::Tokenizer to correctly tokenize the SQL query, preventing extract erroneous placeholders (date/time specifications, comments, inside quotes or double quotes, etc).
