VERSION
   0.0.17 (2017-01-04) Development release.

SYNOPSIS
       use DBIx::ThinSQL;
       use DBIx::ThinSQL::SQLite
           qw/create_functions
              create_methods
              create_sqlite_sequence/;

       my $db = DBIx::ThinSQL->connect('dbi:SQLite:dbname=...');

       # Call once only to initialize permanently
       create_sqlite_sequence($db);

       # Call after every connect to the database
       create_functions( $db, qw/ debug create_sequence currval / );

       # Call once every program run
       create_methods(qw/create_sequence nextval/);

       # Then use SQL functions or Perl methods as required
       $db->do(q{ SELECT debug('logged via Log::Any->debug'); });
       $db->do(q{ SELECT create_sequence('name'); });

       $db->create_sequence('othername');
       $db->nextval('othername');

DESCRIPTION
   DBIx::ThinSQL::SQLite adds various functions to the SQL syntax
   understood by SQLite, using the *sqlite_create_function()* and
   *sqlite_create_aggregate_function()* methods of DBD::SQLite. It also
   adds sequence methods to DBIx::ThinSQL database handles.

   The following functions are exported on request:

   create_sqlite_sequence( $dbh )
       [DEPRECIATED - no longer required]

       Ensure that the "sqlite_sequence" table exists. This function must
       be called on the database (once only - the changes are permanent)
       before any of the other sequence related functions or methods will
       work.

       This function works by creating (and dropping) a table with an
       "INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT" definition. If you are using the
       sequence support from this module you probably don't want to be
       creating your own tables with the autoincrement feature, as it may
       clash with this module.

   create_functions( $dbh, @functions )
       Add @functions to the SQL understood by SQLite for the database
       handle $dbh. @functions can be any combination of the following:

       debug( @items )
           This function called from SQL context logs @items with a
           "debug()" call to a Log::Any instance. If the first item of
           @items begins with "/^select/i" then that statement will be run
           and the result logged using "log_debug" from DBIx::ThinSQL
           instead.

       warn( @items )
           This function called from SQL context logs @items using Perl's
           "warn" function. If the first item of @items begins with
           "/^select/i" then that statement will be run using the current
           handle and the result warned instead.

       create_sequence( $name )
           Create a sequence in the database with name $name.

       nextval( $name ) -> Int
           Advance the sequence to its next value and return that value.

       currval( $name ) -> Int
           Return the current value of the sequence.

       If Digest::SHA is installed then the following functions can also be
       created.

       sha1( $expr, ... ) -> bytes
           Calculate the SHA digest of $expr and return it in a 20-byte
           binary form. Unfortunately it seems that the underlying SQLite C
           sqlite_create_function() provides no way to identify the result
           as a blob, so you must always manually cast the result in SQL
           like so:

               CAST(sha1(SQLITE_EXPRESSION) AS blob)

       sha1_hex( $expr, ... ) -> hexidecimal
           Calculate the SQLite digest of $expr and return it in a
           40-character hexidecimal form.

       sha1_base64( $expr, ... ) -> base64
           Calculate the SQLite digest of $expr and return it in a base64
           encoded form.

       agg_sha1( $expr, $sort_expr ) -> bytes
       agg_sha1_hex( $expr, $sort_expr ) -> hexidecimal
       agg_sha1_base64( $expr, $sort_expr ) -> base64
           These aggregate functions are for use with statements using
           GROUP BY. $expr is the expression on which to calculate the SHA1
           hash, and $sort_expr determines the (string) comparison order in
           which $expr is fed to the SHA1 stream.

       Note that user-defined SQLite functions are only valid for the
       current session. They must be created each time you connect to the
       database. You can have this happen automatically at connect time by
       taking advantage of the DBI "Callbacks" attribute:

           my $db = DBI::ThinSQL->connect(
               $dsn, undef, undef,
               {
                   Callbacks => {
                       connected => sub {
                           my $dbh = shift;
                           create_functions( $dbh,
                               qw/debug nextval/ );
                         }
                   },

               }
           );

   create_methods( @methods )
       Add @methods to the DBIx::ThinSQL::db class which can be any
       combination of the following:

       create_sequence( $name )
           Create a sequence in the database with name $name.

       nextval( $name ) -> Int
           Advance the sequence to its next value and return that value.

       currval( $name ) -> Int
           Return the current value of the sequence.

       These methods are added to a Perl class and are therefore available
       to any DBIx::ThinSQL handle.
