NAME
pgFormatter::Beautify - Library for pretty-printing SQL queries
VERSION
Version 5.5
SYNOPSIS
This module can be used to reformat given SQL query, optionally anonymizing parameters.
Output can be either plain text, or it can be HTML with appropriate styles so that it can
be displayed on a web page.
Example usage:
my $beautifier = pgFormatter::Beautify->new();
$beautifier->query( 'select a,b,c from d where e = f' );
$beautifier->beautify();
my $nice_txt = $beautifier->content();
$beautifier->format('html');
$beautifier->beautify();
my $nice_html = $beautifier->content();
$beautifier->format('html');
$beautifier->anonymize();
$beautifier->beautify();
my $nice_anonymized_html = $beautifier->content();
$beautifier->format();
$beautifier->beautify();
$beautifier->wrap_lines()
my $wrapped_txt = $beautifier->content();
FUNCTIONS
new
Generic constructor - creates object, sets defaults, and reads config from given hash with
options.
Takes options as hash. Following options are recognized:
• break - String that is used for linebreaks. Default is "\n".
• colorize - if set to false CSS style will not be applied to html output. Used
internally to display errors in CGI mode withour style.
• comma - set comma at beginning or end of a line in a parameter list
end - put comma at end of the list (default)
start - put comma at beginning of the list
• comma_break - add new-line after each comma in INSERT statements
• format - set beautify format to apply to the content (default: text)
text - output content as plain/text (command line mode default)
html - output text/html with CSS style applied to content (CGI mode default)
• functions - list (arrayref) of strings that are function names
• keywords - list (arrayref) of strings that are keywords
• multiline - use multi-line search for placeholder regex, see placeholder.
• no_comments - if set to true comments will be removed from query
• no_grouping - if set to true statements will not be grouped in a transaction, an extra
newline character will be added between statements like outside a transaction.
• placeholder - use the specified regex to find code that must not be changed in the
query.
• query - query to beautify
• rules - hash of rules - uses rule semantics from SQL::Beautify
• space - character(s) to be used as space for indentation
• spaces - how many spaces to use for indentation
• uc_functions - what to do with function names:
0 - do not change
1 - change to lower case
2 - change to upper case
3 - change to Capitalized
• separator - string used as dynamic code separator, default is single quote
• uc_keywords - what to do with keywords - meaning of value like with uc_functions
• uc_types - what to do with data types - meaning of value like with uc_functions
• wrap - wraps given keywords in pre- and post- markup. Specific docs in SQL::Beautify
• format_type - try an other formatting
• wrap_limit - wrap queries at a certain length
• wrap_after - number of column after which lists must be wrapped
• wrap_comment - apply wrapping to comments starting with --
• numbering - statement numbering as a comment before each query
• redshift - add Redshift keywords (obsolete, use --extra-keyword)
• no_extra_line - do not add an extra empty line at end of the output
• keep_newline - preserve empty line in plpgsql code
• no_space_function - remove space before function call and open parenthesis
For defaults, please check function set_defaults.
query
Accessor to query string. Both reads:
$object->query()
, and writes
$object->query( $something )
content
Accessor to content of results. Must be called after $object->beautify().
This can be either plain text or html following the format asked by the client with the
$object->format() method.
highlight_code
Makes result html with styles set for highlighting.
tokenize_sql
Splits input SQL into tokens
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
beautify
Beautify SQL.
After calling this function, $object->content() will contain nicely indented result.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
_add_token
Add a token to the beautified string.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
_over
Increase the indentation level.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
_back
Decrease the indentation level.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
_indent
Return a string of spaces according to the current indentation level and the spaces
setting for indenting.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
_new_line
Add a line break, but make sure there are no empty lines.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
_next_token
Have a look at the token that's coming up next.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
_token
Get the next token, removing it from the list of remaining tokens.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
_is_keyword
Check if a token is a known SQL keyword.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
_is_type
Check if a token is a known SQL type
_is_comment
Check if a token is a SQL or C style comment
_is_function
Check if a token is a known SQL function.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify and rewritten to check one long regexp instead of a lot of
small ones.
add_keywords
Add new keywords to highlight.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
_re_from_list
Create compiled regexp from prefix, suffix and and a list of values to match.
_refresh_functions_re
Refresh compiled regexp for functions.
add_functions
Add new functions to highlight.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
add_rule
Add new rules.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
_get_rule
Find custom rule for a token.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
_process_rule
Applies defined rule.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
_is_constant
Check if a token is a constant.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
_is_punctuation
Check if a token is punctuation.
Code lifted from SQL::Beautify
_generate_anonymized_string
Simply generate a random string, thanks to Perlmonks.
Returns original in certain cases which don't require anonymization, like timestamps, or
intervals.
anonymize
Anonymize litteral in SQL queries by replacing parameters with fake values
set_defaults
Sets defaults for newly created objects.
Currently defined defaults:
spaces => 4
space => ' '
break => "\n"
uc_keywords => 2
uc_functions => 0
uc_types => 1
no_comments => 0
no_grouping => 0
placeholder => ''
multiline => 0
separator => ''
comma => 'end'
format => 'text'
colorize => 1
format_type => 0
wrap_limit => 0
wrap_after => 0
wrap_comment => 0
no_extra_line => 0
keep_newline => 0
no_space_function => 0
format
Set output format - possible values: 'text' and 'html'
Default is text output. Returns 0 in case or wrong format and use default.
set_dicts
Sets various dictionaries (lists of keywords, functions, symbols, and the like)
This was moved to separate function, so it can be put at the very end of module so it will
be easier to read the rest of the code.
_remove_dynamic_code
Internal function used to hide dynamic code in plpgsql to the parser. The original values
are restored with function _restore_dynamic_code().
_restore_dynamic_code
Internal function used to restore plpgsql dynamic code in plpgsql that was removed by the
_remove_dynamic_code() method.
_quote_operator
Internal function used to quote operator with multiple character to be tokenized as a
single word. The original values are restored with function _restore_operator().
_restore_operator
Internal function used to restore operator that was removed by the _quote_operator()
method.
_quote_comment_stmt
Internal function used to replace constant in a COMMENT statement to be tokenized as a
single word. The original values are restored with function _restore_comment_stmt().
_restore_comment_stmt
Internal function used to restore comment string that was removed by the
_quote_comment_stmt() method.
_remove_comments
Internal function used to remove comments in SQL code to simplify the work of the
wrap_lines. Comments must be restored with the _restore_comments() method.
_restore_comments
Internal function used to restore comments in SQL code that was removed by the
_remove_comments() method.
