DBD::Sponge3pm
Create a dbi statement handle from perl data
Usage
my $sponge = DBI->connect("dbi:Sponge:","","",{ RaiseError => 1 });my $sth = $sponge->prepare($statement, {rows => $data,NAME => $names,%attr});
Overview
DBD::Sponge is useful for making a Perl data structure accessible through a standard DBI statement handle. This may be useful to DBD module authors who need to transform data in this way.
Methods
connect()
my $sponge = DBI->connect("dbi:Sponge:","","",{ RaiseError => 1 });
Here's a sample syntax for creating a database handle for the Sponge driver. No username and password are needed.
prepare()
my $sth = $sponge->prepare($statement, {rows => $data,NAME => $names,%attr});

The
$statementhere is an arbitrary statement or name you want to provide as identity of your data. If you're using DBI::Profile it will appear in the profile data.Generally it's expected that you are preparing a statement handle as if a
"select"statement happened.
- •
-
$datais a reference to the data you are providing, given as an array of arrays.
- •
-
$namesis a reference an array of column names for the$datayou are providing. The number and order should match the number and ordering of the$datacolumns.
- •
-
%attris a hash of other standard DBI attributes that you might pass to a prepare statement.Currently only NAME, TYPE, and PRECISION are supported. TYPE defaults to SQL_VARCHAR. PRECISION will be lazily computed if not supplied.
