DBD::Sponge − Create a DBI statement handle from Perl data
my $sponge =
DBI−>connect("dbi:Sponge:","","",{
RaiseError => 1 });
my $sth = $sponge−>prepare($statement, {
rows => $data,
NAME => $names,
%attr
}
);
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.
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.
my $sth =
$sponge−>prepare($statement, {
rows => $data,
NAME => $names,
%attr
}
);

The $statement here 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.
|
• |
$data is a reference to the data you are providing, given as an array of arrays. | ||
|
• |
$names is a reference an array of column names for the $data you are providing. The number and order should match the number and ordering of the $data columns. | ||
|
• |
%attr is a hash of other standard DBI attributes that you might pass to a prepare statement. |
Currently only NAME, TYPE, and PRECISION are supported.
Using this module to prepare INSERT-like statements is not currently documented.
