# SQL::Tiny, a Perl module for generating simple SQL statements
A very simple SQL-building library. It's not for all your SQL needs,
only the very simple ones.
It doesn't handle JOINs. It doesn't handle subselects. It's only for simple SQL.
my ($sql,$binds) = sql_select( 'users', [ 'name', 'status' ], { status => [ 'Deleted', 'Inactive' ] }, { order_by => 'name' } );
my ($sql,$binds) = sql_insert( 'users', { name => 'Dave', status => 'Active' } );
my ($sql,$binds) = sql_update( 'users', { status => 'Inactive' }, { password => undef } );
my ($sql,$binds) = sql_delete( 'users', { status => 'Inactive' } );
In my test suites, I have a lot of ad hoc SQL queries, and it drives me
nuts to have so much SQL code lying around. SQL::Tiny is for generating
SQL code for simple cases.
I'd far rather have:
my ($sql,$binds) = sql_insert(
'users',
{
name => 'Dave',
salary => 50000,
status => 'Active',
dateadded => \'SYSDATE()',
}
);
than hand-coding:
my $sql = 'INSERT INTO users (name,salary,status,dateadded) VALUES (:name,:status,:salary,SYSDATE())';
my $binds = {
':name' => 'Dave',
':salary' => 50000,
':status' => 'Active',
':dateadded' => \'SYSDATE()',
};
or even the positional:
my $sql = 'INSERT INTO users (name,salary,status,dateadded) VALUES (?,?,?,SYSDATE())';
my $binds = [ 'Dave', 50000, 'Active' ];
