NAME

Bif::DB - helper methods for a read-only bif database

VERSION

0.1.0_28 (2014-09-23)

SYNOPSIS

    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use Bif::DB;

    # Bif::DB inherits from DBIx::ThinSQL, which inherits from DBI.
    my $db = Bif::DB->connect( $dsn );

    # Read only operations on a bif database:
    my @ids = $db->uuid2id( $uuid );

DESCRIPTION

Bif::DB is a DBI derivative that provides various read-only methods for retrieving information from a bif repository. For a read-write equivalent see Bif::DBW. The read-only and read-write parts are separated for performance reasons.

METHODS

uuid2id( $UUID ) -> List[Int]

Returns the (possibly multiple) integer ID(s) matching a topic $UUID.

get_change( "$ID.$UPDATE_ID" ) -> HashRef

Looks up the change identified by $ID.$UPDATE_ID and returns undef or a hash reference containg the following keys:

• id - the topic ID

• change_id - the ID of the change

• kind - the type of the topic

• uuid - the universally unique identifier of the topic

If the change relates to an issue then the following keys will also contain valid values:

• project_issue_id - the project-specific topic ID

• project_id - the project ID matching the project_issue_id

get_local_hub_id -> Int

Returns the ID for the local repository topic.

get_projects( $PATH, [$HUB] ) -> [HashRef, ...]

Looks up the project(s) identified by $PATH (and optionally $HUB) returns undef, or a list of hash references containg the following keys:

• id - the topic ID

• first_change_id - the change_id that created the topic

• kind - the type of the topic

• uuid - the universally unique identifier of the topic

• path - the path of the project

• parent_id - the parent ID of the project

• hub_id - the id of the project's hub

• hub_name - the name of the project's hub

• local - true if the project is locally synchronized

The list is sorted by hub name then by project path.

status_ids( $project_id, $kind, @status ) -> \@ids, \@invalid

Takes a project ID, a thread type (task, issue, etc) and a list of status names and returns an arrayref of matching IDs, and an arrayref of invalid names. This method will silently ignore any @status which are undefined.

get_hub_repos( $name ) -> @HashRef

Returns a list of HASH references containing information about the hub identified by $name, each with the following keys:

• id - the topic ID for the hub

• name - the name of the hub

• location - the location of the hub

• is_default - true if it is the default location

Returns undef if $name (a name, an ID, or a location) is not found.

get_max_change_id

Returns the maximum change ID in the database.

check_fks

This is developer aide to print out foreign key relationship that are not satisfied (i.e. where the target row/column doesn't exist).
