=head1 NAME

DBIx::DWIW - Robust and simple DBI wrapper to Do What I Want (DWIW)

=head1 SYNOPSIS

When used directly:

use DBIx::DWIW;

my $db = DBIx::DWIW->Connect(DB   => $database,
                               User => $user,
                               Pass => $password,
                               Host => $host);

my @records = $db->Array("select * from foo");

When sub-classed for full functionality:

use MyDBI;  # class inherits from DBIx::DWIW

my $db = MyDBI->Connect('somedb') or die;

my @records = $db->Hashes("SELECT * FROM foo ORDER BY bar");

=head1 DESCRIPTION

NOTE: This module is currently specific to MySQL, but needn't be. We just
haven't had a need to talk to any other database server.

DBIx::DWIW was developed (over the course of roughly 1.5 years) in Yahoo!
Finance (http://finance.yahoo.com/) to suit our needs. Parts of the API may
not make sense and the documentation may be lacking in some areas. We've
been using it for so long (in one form or another) that these may not be
readily obvious to us, so feel free to point that out. There's a reason the
version number is currently < 1.0.

This module was B<recently> extracted from Yahoo-specific code, so things
may be a little strange yet while we smooth out any bumps and blemishes
left over form that.

DBIx::DWIW is B<intended to be sub-classed>. Doing so gives you all the
benefits it can provide and the ability to easily customize some of its
features. You can, of course, use it directly if it meets your needs as-is.
But you'll be accepting its default behavior in some cases where it may not
be wise to do so.

The DBIx::DWIW distribution comes with a sample sub-class in the file
C<examples/MyDBI.pm> which illustrates some of what you might want to do in
your own class(es).

This module provides three main benefits:

=head2 Centralized Configuration

Rather than store the various connection parameters (username, password,
hostname, port number, database name) in each and every script or
application which needs them, you can easily put them in once place--or
even generate them on the fly by writing a bit of custom code.

If this is all you need, consider looking at Brian Aker's fine
C<DBIx::Password> module on the CPAN. It may be sufficient.

=head2 API Simplicity

Taking a lesson from Python (gasp!), this module promotes one obvious way
to do most things. If you want to run a query and get the results back as a
list of hashrefs, there's one way to do that. The API may sacrifice speed
in some cases, but new users can easily learn the simple and descriptive
method calls. (Nobody is forcing you to use it.)

=head2 Fault Tolerance

Databases sometimes go down. Networks flake out. Bad stuff happens. Rather
than have your application die, DBIx::DWIW provides a way to handle
outages. You can build custom wait/retry/fail logic which does anything you
might want (such as ringing your pager or sending e-mail).

=head2 Transaction Handling

As of version 0.25, three transaction related methods were added to DWIW.
These methods were designed to make transaction programming easier in a
couple of ways.

Consider a code snippet like this:

sub do_stuff_with_thing
  {
      $db->Begin();
      $db->Execute("some sql here");
      $db->Execute("another query here");
      $db->Commit();
  }

That's all well an good. You have a function that you can call and it will
perform 2 discrete actions as part of a transaction. However, what if you
need to call that in the context of a larger transaction from time to time?
What you'd like to do is this:

$db->Begin();
  for my $thing (@thing_list)
  {
      do_stuff_with_thing($thing);
  }
  $db->Commit();

and have it all wrapped up in once nice juicy transaction.

With DBIx::DWIW, you can. That is, in fact, the default behavior. You can
call C<Begin()> as many times as you want, but it'll only ever let you
start a single transaction until you call the corresponding commit. It does
this by tracking the number of times you call C<Begin()> and C<Commit()>. A
counter is incremented each time you call C<Begin()> and decremented each
time you call C<Commit()>. When the count reaches zero, the original
transaction is actually committed.

Of course, there are problems with that method, so DBIx::DWIW provides an
alternative. You can use I<named transactions>. Using named transactions
instead, the code above would look like this:

sub do_stuff_with_thing
  {
      $db->Begin('do_stuff transaction');
      $db->Execute("some sql here");
      $db->Execute("another query here");
      $db->Commit('do_stuff transaction');
  }

and:

$db->Begin('Big Transaction');
  for my $thing (@thing_list)
  {
      do_stuff_with_thing($thing);
  }
  $db->Commit('Big Transaction');

In that way, you can avoid problems that might be caused by not calling
C<Begin()> and C<Commit()> the same number of times. Once a named
transaction is begun, the module simply ignores any C<Begin()> or
C<Commit()> calls that don't have a name or whose name doesn't match that
assigned to the currently open transaction.

The only exception to this rule is C<Rollback()>. Because a transaction
rollback usually signifies a big problem, calling C<Rollback()> B<always>
ends the currently running transaction.

Return values for these functions are a bit different, too. C<Begin()> and
C<Commit()> can return undef, 0, or 1. undef means there was an error. 0
means that nothing was done (but there was no error either), and 1 means
that work was done.

The methods are:

=over

=item Begin

Start a new transaction if one is not already running.

=item Commit

Commit the current transaction, if one is running.

=item Rollback

Rollback the current transaction, if one is running.

=back

See the detailed method descriptions below for all the gory details.

Note that C<Begin()>, C<Commit()>, and C<Rollback()> are not protected by
DBIx::DWIW's normal wait/retry logic if a network connection fails. This
because I'm not sure that it it makes sense. If your connection drops and
the other end notices, it'll probably rollback for you anyway.

=head1 DBIx::DWIW CLASS METHODS

The following methods are available from DBIx::DWIW objects. Any function
or method not documented should be considered private. If you call it, your
code may break someday and it will be B<your> fault.

The methods follow the Perl tradition of returning false values when an
error occurs (and usually setting $@ with a descriptive error message).

Any method which takes an SQL query string can also be passed bind values
for any placeholders in the query string:

$db->Hashes("SELECT * FROM foo WHERE id = ?", $id);

Any method which takes an SQL query string can also be passed a prepared
DWIW statement handle:

$db->Hashes($sth, $id);

=item Connect()

The C<Connect()> constructor creates and returns a database connection
object through which all database actions are conducted. On error, it
calls C<die()>, so you may want to C<eval {...}> the call.  The
C<NoAbort> option (described below) controls that behavior.

C<Connect()> accepts ``hash-style'' key/value pairs as arguments.  The
arguments which it recognizes are:

=over

=item Host

The name of the host to connect to. Use C<undef> to force a socket
connection on the local machine.

=item User

The database user to authenticate as.

=item Pass

The password to authenticate with.

=item DB

The name of the database to use.

=item Socket

NOT IMPLEMENTED.

The path to the Unix socket to use.

=item Port

The port number to connect to.

=item Proxy

Set to true to connect to a DBI::ProxyServer proxy.  You'll also need
to set ProxyHost, ProxyKey, and ProxyPort.  You may also want to set
ProxyKey and ProxyCipher.

=item ProxyHost

The hostname of the proxy server.

=item ProxyPort

The port number on which the proxy is listening.  This is probably
different than the port number on which the database server is
listening.

=item ProxyKey

If the proxy server you're using requires encryption, supply the
encryption key (as a hex string).

=item ProxyCipher

If the proxy server requires encryption, supply the name of the
package which provides encryption.  Typically this is something
like C<Crypt::DES> or C<Crypt::Blowfish>.

=item Unique

A boolean which controls connection reuse.

If false (the default), multiple C<Connect>s with the same connection
parameters (User, Pass, DB, Host) return the same open
connection. If C<Unique> is true, it returns a connection distinct
from all other connections.

If you have a process with an active connection that fork()s, be aware
that you CANNOT share the connection between the parent and child.
Well, you can if you're REALLY CAREFUL and know what you're doing.
But don't do it.

Instead, acquire a new connection in the child. Be sure to set this
flag when you do, or you'll end up with the same connection and spend
a lot of time pulling your hair out over why the code does mysterious
things.

As of version 0.27, DWIW also checks the class name of the caller and
guarantees unique connections across different classes.  So if you
call Connect() from SubClass1 and SubClass2, each class gets its own
connection.

=item Verbose

Turns verbose reporting on.  See C<Verbose()>.

=item Quiet

Turns off warning messages.  See C<Quiet()>.

=item NoRetry

If true, the C<Connect()> fails immediately if it can't connect to
the database. Normally, it retries based on calls to
C<RetryWait()>.  C<NoRetry> affects only C<Connect>, and has no effect
on the fault-tolerance of the package once connected.

=item NoAbort

If there is an error in the arguments, or in the end the database
can't be connected to, C<Connect()> normally prints an error message
and dies. If C<NoAbort> is true, it puts the error string into
C<$@> and return false.

=item Timeout

The amount of time (in seconds) after which C<Connect()> should give up and
return. You may use fractional seconds. A Timeout of zero is the same as
not having one at all.

If you set the timeout, you probably also want to set C<NoRetry> to a
true value.  Otherwise you'll be surprised when a server is down and
your retry logic is running.

=item QueryTimeout

The amount of time (in seconds) after which query operations should give up
and return. You may use fractional seconds. A Timeout of zero is the same
as not having one at all.

=back

There are a minimum of four components to any database connection: DB,
User, Pass, and Host. If any are not provided, there may be defaults
that kick in. A local configuration package, such as the C<MyDBI>
example class that comes with DBIx::DWIW, may provide appropriate
default connection values for several database. In such a case, a
client may be able to simply use:

my $db = MyDBI->Connect(DB => 'Finances');

to connect to the C<Finances> database.

As a convenience, you can just give the database name:

my $db = MyDBI->Connect('Finances');

See the local configuration package appropriate to your installation
for more information about what is and isn't preconfigured.

Dump the internal configuration to stdout.  This is mainly useful for

}

=item Timeout()

Like the QueryTimeout argument to Connect(), sets (or resets) the amount of
time (in seconds) after which queries should give up and return. You may
use fractional seconds. A timeout of zero is the same as not having one at
all.

C<Timeout()> called with any (or no) arguments returns the current
query timeout value.

=item Disconnect()

Closes the connection. Upon program exit, this is called automatically
on all open connections. Returns true if the open connection was
closed, false if there was no connection or there was some other
error (with the error being returned in C<$@>).

=item Quote(@values)

properly quoted values. As per quote(), NULL is returned for
items that are not defined.

=item InList($field => @values)

Given a field and a value or values, returns SQL appropriate for a
WHERE clause in the form

field = 'value'

field IN ('value1', 'value2', ...)

depending on the number of values. Each value is passed through
C<Quote> while building the SQL.

If no values are provided, nothing is returned.

This function is useful because MySQL apparently does not optimize

field IN ('val')

as well as it optimizes

field = 'val'

=item InListUnquoted($field => @values)

Just like C<InList>, but the values are not passed through C<Quote>.

=item Prepare($sql)

Prepares the given sql statement, but does not execute it (just like
DBI). Instead, it returns a statement handle C<$sth> that you can
later execute by calling its Execute() method:

my $sth = $db->Prepare("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (?, ?)");

$sth->Execute($a, $b);

The statement handle returned is not a native DBI statement
handle. It's a DBIx::DWIW::Statement handle.

When called from Execute(), Scalar(), Hashes(), etc. AND there
are values to substitute, the statement handle is cached.
This benefits a typical case where ?-substitutions being done
lazily in an Execute call inside a loop.
Meanwhile, interpolated sql queries, non-? queries, and
manually Prepare'd statements are unaffected.  These typically
do not benefit from moving caching the prepare.

Note: prepare-caching is of no benefit until Mysql 4.1.

=item Hash($sql)

A generic query routine. Pass an SQL statement that returns a single
record, and it returns a hashref with all the key/value pairs of
the record.

The example at the bottom of page 50 of DuBois's I<MySQL> book would
return a value similar to:

my $hashref = {
     last_name  => 'McKinley',
     first_name => 'William',
  };

On error, C<$@> has the error text, and false is returned. If the
query doesn't return a record, false is returned, but C<$@> is also
false.

Use this routine only if the query will return a single record.  Use
C<Hashes()> for queries that might return multiple records.

Because calling C<Hashes()> on a larger recordset can use a lot of
memory, you may wish to call C<Hash()> once with a valid query and
call it repeatedly with no SQL to retrieve records one at a time.
It'll take more CPU to do this, but it is more memory efficient:

my $record = $db->Hash("SELECT * FROM big_table");
  do {
      # ... do something with $record
  }  while (defined($record = $db->Hash()));

Note that a call to any other DWIW query resets the iterator, so only
do so when you are finished with the current query.

This seems like it breaks the principle of having only one obvious way
to do things with this package.  But it's really not all that obvious,
now is it? :-)

    return $result ? $result : ();
}

=item Hashes($sql)

A generic query routine. Given an SQL statement, returns a list of
hashrefs, one per returned record, containing the key/value pairs of
each record.

The example in the middle of page 50 of DuBois's I<MySQL> would return
a value similar to:

my @hashrefs = (
  { last_name => 'Tyler',    first_name => 'John',    birth => '1790-03-29' },
  { last_name => 'Buchanan', first_name => 'James',   birth => '1791-04-23' },

  { last_name => 'Fillmore', first_name => 'Millard', birth => '1800-01-07' },
  { last_name => 'Pierce',   first_name => 'Franklin',birth => '1804-11-23' },
 );

On error, C<$@> has the error text, and false is returned. If the
query doesn't return a record, false is returned, but C<$@> is also
false.

=item Array($sql)

Similar to C<Hash()>, but returns a list of values from the matched
record. On error, the empty list is returned and the error can be
found in C<$@>. If the query matches no records, an empty list is
returned but C<$@> is false.

The example at the bottom of page 50 of DuBois's I<MySQL> would return
a value similar to:

my @array = ( 'McKinley', 'William' );

Use this routine only if the query will return a single record.  Use
C<Arrays()> or C<FlatArray()> for queries that might return multiple
records.

=item Arrays($sql)

A generic query routine. Given an SQL statement, returns a list of
array refs, one per returned record, containing the values of each
record.

The example in the middle of page 50 of DuBois's I<MySQL> would return
a value similar to:

my @arrayrefs = (
  [ 'Tyler',     'John',     '1790-03-29' ],
  [ 'Buchanan',  'James',    '1791-04-23' ],
  [ 'Polk',      'James K',  '1795-11-02' ],
  [ 'Fillmore',  'Millard',  '1800-01-07' ],
  [ 'Pierce',    'Franklin', '1804-11-23' ],
 );

On error, C<$@> has the error text, and false is returned. If the
query doesn't return a record, false is returned, but C<$@> is also
false.

    }
    return @records;

=pod

=item FlatArray($sql)

A generic query routine. Pass an SQL string, and all matching fields
of all matching records are returned in one big list.

If the query matches a single records, C<FlatArray()> ends up being
the same as C<Array()>. But if there are multiple records matched, the
return list will contain a set of fields from each record.

The example in the middle of page 50 of DuBois's I<MySQL> would return
a value similar to:

my @items = (
         'Tyler', 'John', '1790-03-29', 'Buchanan', 'James', '1791-04-23',
         'Polk', 'James K', '1795-11-02', 'Fillmore', 'Millard',
         '1800-01-07', 'Pierce', 'Franklin', '1804-11-23'
     );

C<FlatArray()> tends to be most useful when the query returns one
column per record, as with

my @names = $db->FlatArray('select distinct name from mydb');

or two records with a key/value relationship:

my %IdToName = $db->FlatArray('select id, name from mydb');

But you never know.

=item Scalar($sql)

A generic query routine. Pass an SQL string, and a scalar is
returned.

If the query matches a single row column pair this is what you want.
C<Scalar()> is useful for computational queries, count(*), max(xxx),
etc.

my $max = $dbh->Scalar('select max(id) from personnel');

If the result set contains more than one value, the first value is returned
and a warning is issued.

=item Verbose([boolean])

Returns the value of the verbose flag associated with the connection.

verbose output each time a query executes.

Returns the current value.

=item Safe()

Enable or disable "safe" mode (on by default).  In "safe" mode, you
must prefix a native DBI method call with "dbi_" in order to call it.
If safe mode is off, you can call native DBI methods using their real
names.

For example, in safe mode, you'd write something like this:

$db->dbi_commit;

but in unsafe mode you could use:

$db->commit;

The rationale behind having a safe mode is that you probably don't
want to mix DBIx::DWIW and DBI method calls on an object unless you
know what you're doing.  You need to opt in.

C<Safe()> returns the current value.

=item RetryWait($error)

This method is called each time there is a error (usually caused by a
network outage or a server going down) which a sub-class may want to
examine and decide how to continue.

If C<RetryWait()> returns 1, the operation which was being attempted when
the failure occurred is retried. If C<RetryWait()> returns 0, the action
fails.

The default implementation causes your application to make up to three
immediate reconnect attempts, and if all fail, emit a message to STDERR
(via a C<warn()> call) and then sleep for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the
warning and sleep repeat until successful.

You probably want to override this so method that it will eventually give
up. Otherwise your application may hang forever. The default method does
maintain a count of how many times the retry has been attempted in
C<$self->{RetryCount}>.

Note that RetryWait() is not be called in the middle of transaction.
In that case, we assume that the transaction will have been rolled
back by the server and you'll get an error.

    my $self  = shift;

=head1 Local Configuration

There are two ways to to configure C<DBIx::DWIW> for your local
databases.  The simplest (but least flexible) way is to create a
package like:

package MyDBI;
    @ISA = 'DBIx::DWIW';
    use strict;

sub DefaultDB   { "MyDatabase"         }
    sub DefaultUser { "defaultuser"        }
    sub DefaultPass { "paSSw0rd"           }
    sub DefaultHost { "mysql.somehost.com" }
    sub DefaultPort { 3306                 }

The four routines override those in C<DBIx::DWIW>, and explicitly
provide exactly what's needed to contact the given database.

The user can then use

use MyDBI
    my $db = MyDBI->Connect();

and not have to worry about the details.

A more flexible approach appropriate for multiple-database or
multiple-user installations is to create a more complex package, such
as the C<MyDBI.pm> which was included in the C<examples> sub-directory
of the DBIx::DWIW distribution.

In that setup, you have quit a bit of control over what connection
parameters are used.  And, since it's Just Perl Code, you can do
anything you need in there.

=head1 The DBIx::DWIW::Statement CLASS

Calling C<Prepare()> on a database handle returns a
DBIx::DWIW::Statement object which acts like a limited DBI statement
handle.

=head2 Methods

The following methods can be called on a statement object.

=over

=cut

package DBIx::DWIW::Statement;

use vars '$AUTOLOAD';

sub AUTOLOAD
{
    my $self   = shift;
    my $method = $AUTOLOAD;

$method =~ s/.*:://;  ## strip the package name

my $orig_method = $method;

if ($self->{SAFE})
    {
        if (not $method =~ s/^dbi_//)
        {
            Carp::cluck("undefined or unsafe method ($orig_method) called in");
        }
    }

if ($self->{DBI_STH} and $self->{DBI_STH}->can($method))
    {
        $self->{DBI_STH}->$method(@_);
    }
    else
    {
        Carp::cluck("undefined method ($orig_method) called");
    }
}

## This looks funny, so I should probably explain what is going on.
## When Execute() is called on a statement handle, we need to know
## which $db object to use for execution.  Luckily that was stashed
## away in $self->{PARENT} when the statement was created.  So we call
## the _Execute method on our parent $db object and pass ourselves.
## Since $db->_Execute() only accepts Statement objects, this is just
## as it should be.

=pod

=item Execute([@values])

Executes the statement.  If values are provided, they'll be substituted
for the appropriate placeholders in the SQL.

=cut

sub Execute(@)
{
    my $self      = shift;
    my @bind_vals = @_;
    my $db        = $self->{PARENT};

return $db->_Execute($self, @bind_vals);
}

sub DESTROY

#      my $self = shift;

#      return unless defined $self;
#      return unless ref($self);

#      if ($self->{DBI_STH})
