trusty (3) Padre::DB::HostConfig.3pm.gz
NAME
Padre::DB::HostConfig - Padre::DB class for the host_config table
DESCRIPTION
TO BE COMPLETED
METHODS
base
# Returns 'Padre::DB'
my $namespace = Padre::DB::HostConfig->base;
Normally you will only need to work directly with a table class, and only with one ORLite package.
However, if for some reason you need to work with multiple ORLite packages at the same time without
hardcoding the root namespace all the time, you can determine the root namespace from an object or table
class with the "base" method.
table
# Returns 'host_config'
print Padre::DB::HostConfig->table;
While you should not need the name of table for any simple operations, from time to time you may need it
programatically. If you do need it, you can use the "table" method to get the table name.
load
my $object = Padre::DB::HostConfig->load( $name );
If your table has single column primary key, a "load" method will be generated in the class. If there is
no primary key, the method is not created.
The "load" method provides a shortcut mechanism for fetching a single object based on the value of the
primary key. However it should only be used for cases where your code trusts the record to already
exists.
It returns a "Padre::DB::HostConfig" object, or throws an exception if the object does not exist.
select
# Get all objects in list context
my @list = Padre::DB::HostConfig->select;
# Get a subset of objects in scalar context
my $array_ref = Padre::DB::HostConfig->select(
'where name > ? order by name',
1000,
);
The "select" method executes a typical SQL "SELECT" query on the host_config table.
It takes an optional argument of a SQL phrase to be added after the "FROM host_config" section of the
query, followed by variables to be bound to the placeholders in the SQL phrase. Any SQL that is
compatible with SQLite can be used in the parameter.
Returns a list of Padre::DB::HostConfig objects when called in list context, or a reference to an "ARRAY"
of Padre::DB::HostConfig objects when called in scalar context.
Throws an exception on error, typically directly from the DBI layer.
iterate
Padre::DB::HostConfig->iterate( sub {
print $_->name . "\n";
} );
The "iterate" method enables the processing of large tables one record at a time without loading having
to them all into memory in advance.
This plays well to the strength of SQLite, allowing it to do the work of loading arbitrarily large stream
of records from disk while retaining the full power of Perl when processing the records.
The last argument to "iterate" must be a subroutine reference that will be called for each element in the
list, with the object provided in the topic variable $_.
This makes the "iterate" code fragment above functionally equivalent to the following, except with an
O(1) memory cost instead of O(n).
foreach ( Padre::DB::HostConfig->select ) {
print $_->name . "\n";
}
You can filter the list via SQL in the same way you can with "select".
Padre::DB::HostConfig->iterate(
'order by ?', 'name',
sub {
print $_->name . "\n";
}
);
You can also use it in raw form from the root namespace for better control. Using this form also allows
for the use of arbitrarily complex queries, including joins. Instead of being objects, rows are provided
as "ARRAY" references when used in this form.
Padre::DB->iterate(
'select name from host_config order by name',
sub {
print $_->[0] . "\n";
}
);
count
# How many objects are in the table
my $rows = Padre::DB::HostConfig->count;
# How many objects
my $small = Padre::DB::HostConfig->count(
'where name > ?',
1000,
);
The "count" method executes a "SELECT COUNT(*)" query on the host_config table.
It takes an optional argument of a SQL phrase to be added after the "FROM host_config" section of the
query, followed by variables to be bound to the placeholders in the SQL phrase. Any SQL that is
compatible with SQLite can be used in the parameter.
Returns the number of objects that match the condition.
Throws an exception on error, typically directly from the DBI layer.
new
TO BE COMPLETED
The "new" constructor is used to create a new abstract object that is not (yet) written to the database.
Returns a new Padre::DB::HostConfig object.
create
my $object = Padre::DB::HostConfig->create(
name => 'value',
value => 'value',
);
The "create" constructor is a one-step combination of "new" and "insert" that takes the column
parameters, creates a new Padre::DB::HostConfig object, inserts the appropriate row into the host_config
table, and then returns the object.
If the primary key column "name" is not provided to the constructor (or it is false) the object returned
will have "name" set to the new unique identifier.
Returns a new host_config object, or throws an exception on error, typically from the DBI layer.
insert
$object->insert;
The "insert" method commits a new object (created with the "new" method) into the database.
If a the primary key column "name" is not provided to the constructor (or it is false) the object
returned will have "name" set to the new unique identifier.
Returns the object itself as a convenience, or throws an exception on error, typically from the DBI
layer.
delete
# Delete a single instantiated object
$object->delete;
# Delete multiple rows from the host_config table
Padre::DB::HostConfig->delete('where name > ?', 1000);
The "delete" method can be used in a class form and an instance form.
When used on an existing Padre::DB::HostConfig instance, the "delete" method removes that specific
instance from the "host_config", leaving the object intact for you to deal with post-delete actions as
you wish.
When used as a class method, it takes a compulsory argument of a SQL phrase to be added after the "DELETE
FROM host_config" section of the query, followed by variables to be bound to the placeholders in the SQL
phrase. Any SQL that is compatible with SQLite can be used in the parameter.
Returns true on success or throws an exception on error, or if you attempt to call delete without a SQL
condition phrase.
truncate
# Delete all records in the host_config table
Padre::DB::HostConfig->truncate;
To prevent the common and extremely dangerous error case where deletion is called accidentally without
providing a condition, the use of the "delete" method without a specific condition is forbidden.
Instead, the distinct method "truncate" is provided to delete all records in a table with specific
intent.
Returns true, or throws an exception on error.
ACCESSORS
name
if ( $object->name ) {
print "Object has been inserted\n";
} else {
print "Object has not been inserted\n";
}
Returns true, or throws an exception on error.
REMAINING ACCESSORS TO BE COMPLETED
SQL
The host_config table was originally created with the following SQL command.
CREATE TABLE host_config (
name varchar(255) not null primary key,
value varchar(255) not null
)
