DBD::mysql - MySQL driver for the Perl5 Database Interface (DBI)
use DBI;
$dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=$database;host=$hostname;port=$port";
$dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password);
$drh = DBI->install_driver("mysql"); @databases = DBI->data_sources("mysql"); or @databases = DBI->data_sources("mysql", {"host" => $host, "port" => $port});
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bla"); or $sth = $dbh->prepare("LISTFIELDS $table"); or $sth = $dbh->prepare("LISTINDEX $table $index"); $sth->execute; $numRows = $sth->rows; $numFields = $sth->{'NUM_OF_FIELDS'}; $sth->finish;
$rc = $drh->func('createdb', $database, $host, $user, $password, 'admin'); $rc = $drh->func('dropdb', $database, $host, $user, $password, 'admin'); $rc = $drh->func('shutdown', $host, $user, $password, 'admin'); $rc = $drh->func('reload', $host, $user, $password, 'admin');
$rc = $dbh->func('createdb', $database, 'admin'); $rc = $dbh->func('dropdb', $database, 'admin'); $rc = $dbh->func('shutdown', 'admin'); $rc = $dbh->func('reload', 'admin');

use strict; use DBI();
# Connect to the database. my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=test;host=localhost", "joe", "joe's password", {'RaiseError' => 1});
# Drop table 'foo'. This may fail, if 'foo' doesn't exist. # Thus we put an eval around it. eval { $dbh->do("DROP TABLE foo") }; print "Dropping foo failed: $@\n" if $@;
# Create a new table 'foo'. This must not fail, thus we don't # catch errors. $dbh->do("CREATE TABLE foo (id INTEGER, name VARCHAR(20))");
# INSERT some data into 'foo'. We are using $dbh->quote() for # quoting the name. $dbh->do("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (1, " . $dbh->quote("Tim") . ")");
# Same thing, but using placeholders $dbh->do("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (?, ?)", undef, 2, "Jochen");
# Now retrieve data from the table. my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM foo"); $sth->execute(); while (my $ref = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()) { print "Found a row: id = $ref->{'id'}, name = $ref->{'name'}\n"; } $sth->finish();
# Disconnect from the database. $dbh->disconnect();
In what follows we first discuss the use of DBD::mysql, because this is what you will need the most. For installation, see the sections on INSTALLATION, and ``WIN32 INSTALLATION'' below. See EXAMPLE for a simple example above.
From perl you activate the interface with the statement
use DBI;
After that you can connect to multiple MySQL database servers and send multiple queries to any of them via a simple object oriented interface. Two types of objects are available: database handles and statement handles. Perl returns a database handle to the connect method like so:
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=$db;host=$host", $user, $password, {RaiseError => 1});
Once you have connected to a database, you can can execute SQL statements with:
my $query = sprintf("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (%d, %s)", $number, $dbh->quote("name")); $dbh->do($query);
See DBI(3) for details on the quote and do methods. An alternative approach is
$dbh->do("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (?, ?)", undef, $number, $name);
in which case the quote method is executed automatically. See also the bind_param method in DBI(3). See ``DATABASE HANDLES'' below for more details on database handles.
If you want to retrieve results, you need to create a so-called statement handle with:
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM $table"); $sth->execute();
This statement handle can be used for multiple things. First of all you can retreive a row of data:
my $row = $sth->fetchow_hashref();
If your table has columns ID and NAME, then $row will be hash ref with keys ID and NAME. See ``STATEMENT HANDLES'' below for more details on statement handles.
But now for a more formal approach:
use DBI;
$dsn = "DBI:mysql:$database"; $dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=$database;host=$hostname"; $dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=$database;host=$hostname;port=$port";
$dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password);
A "database" must always be specified.
Should the MySQL daemon be running on a non-standard port number, you may explicitly state the port number to connect to in the "hostname" argument, by concatenating the hostname and port number together separated by a colon ( ":" ) character or by using the "port" argument.
UPDATE $table SET id = 1 WHERE id = 1
then the MySQL engine will always return 0, because no rows have changed. With mysql_client_found_rows however, it will return the number of rows that have an id 1, as some people are expecting. (At least for compatibility to other engines.)
$dsn = "DBI:mysql:test;mysql_read_default_file=/home/joe/my.cnf"; $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password)
The option mysql_read_default_group can be used to specify the default group in the config file: Usually this is the client group, but see the following example:
[client] host=localhost
[perl] host=perlhost
(Note the order of the entries! The example won't work, if you reverse the [client] and [perl] sections!)
If you read this config file, then you'll be typically connected to localhost. However, by using
$dsn = "DBI:mysql:test;mysql_read_default_group=perl;" . "mysql_read_default_file=/home/joe/my.cnf"; $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password);
you'll be connected to perlhost. Note that if you specify a default group and do not specify a file, then the default config files will all be read. See the documentation of the C function mysql_options() for details.
mysql_socket=/dev/mysql
Usually there's no need for this option, unless you are using another location for the socket than that built into the client.
mysql_ssl=1
This means that your communication with the server will be encrypted.
If you turn mysql_ssl on, you might also wish to use the following flags:
$dbh = DBI->connect(
``DBI:mysql:database=test;host=localhost:mysql_server_prepare=1'',
"``,
''",
{ RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 1 }
);
To make sure that the 'make test' step tests whether server prepare works, you just need to export the env variable MYSQL_SERVER_PREPARE:
export MYSQL_SERVER_PREPARE=1
Test first without server side prepare, then with.
Example:
$testdsn=``DBI:mysqlEmb:database=test;mysql_embedded_options=--help,--verbose'';
Example:
$testdsn=``DBI:mysqlEmb:database=test;mysql_embedded_groups=embedded_server,common'';
my $drh = DBI->install_driver("mysql"); @dbs = $drh->func("$hostname:$port", '_ListDBs'); @dbs = $drh->func($hostname, $port, '_ListDBs'); @dbs = $dbh->func('_ListDBs');
Returns a list of all databases managed by the MySQL daemon running on $hostname, port $port. This method is rarely needed for databases running on "localhost": You should use the portable method
@dbs = DBI->data_sources("mysql");
whenever possible. It is a design problem of this method, that there's no way of supplying a host name or port number to "data_sources", that's the only reason why we still support "ListDBs". :-(
$rc = $drh->func("createdb", $dbname, [host, user, password,], 'admin'); $rc = $drh->func("dropdb", $dbname, [host, user, password,], 'admin'); $rc = $drh->func("shutdown", [host, user, password,], 'admin'); $rc = $drh->func("reload", [host, user, password,], 'admin');
or
$rc = $dbh->func("createdb", $dbname, 'admin'); $rc = $dbh->func("dropdb", $dbname, 'admin'); $rc = $dbh->func("shutdown", 'admin'); $rc = $dbh->func("reload", 'admin');
For server administration you need a server connection. For obtaining this connection you have two options: Either use a driver handle (drh) and supply the appropriate arguments (host, defaults localhost, user, defaults to '' and password, defaults to ''). A driver handle can be obtained with
$drh = DBI->install_driver('mysql');
Otherwise reuse the existing connection of a database handle (dbh).
There's only one function available for administrative purposes, comparable to the m(y)sqladmin programs. The command being execute depends on the first argument:
It should be noted that database deletion is not prompted for in any way. Nor is it undo-able from DBI.
Once you issue the dropDB() method, the database will be gone!
These method should be used at your own risk.
$errno = $dbh->{'mysql_errno'}; $error = $dbh->{'mysql_error}; $info = $dbh->{'mysql_hostinfo'}; $info = $dbh->{'mysql_info'}; $insertid = $dbh->{'mysql_insertid'}; $info = $dbh->{'mysql_protoinfo'}; $info = $dbh->{'mysql_serverinfo'}; $info = $dbh->{'mysql_stat'}; $threadId = $dbh->{'mysql_thread_id'};
These correspond to mysql_errno(), mysql_error(), mysql_get_host_info(), mysql_info(), mysql_insert_id(), mysql_get_proto_info(), mysql_get_server_info(), mysql_stat() and mysql_thread_id(), respectively.
$info_hashref = $dhb->{mysql_dbd_stats}
DBD::mysql keeps track of some statistics in the mysql_dbd_stats attribute. The following stats are being maintained:
The DBD::mysql driver also supports the following attribute(s) of database handles (read/write):
$bool_value = $dbh->{mysql_auto_reconnect}; $dbh->{mysql_auto_reconnect} = $AutoReconnect ? 1 : 0;
It is possible to set default value of the "mysql_use_result" attribute for $dbh using several ways:
- through DSN
$dbh= DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:test;mysql_use_result=1", "root", "");
- after creation of database handle
$dbh->{'mysql_use_result'}=0; #disable $dbh->{'mysql_use_result'}=1; #enable
It is possible to set/unset the "mysql_use_result" attribute after creation of statement handle. See below.
my $numFields = $sth->{'NUM_OF_FIELDS'};
Note, that most attributes are valid only after a successfull execute. An "undef" value will returned in that case. The most important exception is the "mysql_use_result" attribute: This forces the driver to use mysql_use_result rather than mysql_store_result. The former is faster and less memory consuming, but tends to block other processes. (That's why mysql_store_result is the default.)
To set the "mysql_use_result" attribute, use either of the following:
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("QUERY", { "mysql_use_result" => 1});
or
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("QUERY"); $sth->{"mysql_use_result"} = 1;
Column dependent attributes, for example NAME, the column names, are returned as a reference to an array. The array indices are corresponding to the indices of the arrays returned by fetchrow and similar methods. For example the following code will print a header of table names together with all rows:
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM $table"); if (!$sth) { die "Error:" . $dbh->errstr . "\n"; } if (!$sth->execute) { die "Error:" . $sth->errstr . "\n"; } my $names = $sth->{'NAME'}; my $numFields = $sth->{'NUM_OF_FIELDS'}; for (my $i = 0; $i < $numFields; $i++) { printf("%s%s", $i ? "," : "", $$names[$i]); } print "\n"; while (my $ref = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref) { for (my $i = 0; $i < $numFields; $i++) { printf("%s%s", $i ? "," : "", $$ref[$i]); } print "\n"; }
For portable applications you should restrict yourself to attributes with capitalized or mixed case names. Lower case attribute names are private to DBD::mysql. The attribute list includes:
$dbh->{'AutoCommit'} = 0;
or
$dbh->{'AutoCommit'} = 1;
then the driver will set the MySQL server variable autocommit to 0 or 1, respectively. Switching from 0 to 1 will also issue a COMMIT, following the DBI specifications.
$dbh->rollback(); $dbh->commit();
will issue the commands COMMIT and ROLLBACK, respectively. A ROLLBACK will also be issued if AutoCommit mode is off and the database handles DESTROY method is called. Again, this is following the DBI specifications.
Given the above, you should note the following:
$dbh->{'AutoCommit'} = 0; if ($dbh->{'AutoCommit'}) { # An error occurred! }
The obvious question is: Are the C libraries thread safe? In the case of MySQL the answer is ``mostly'' and, in theory, you should be able to get a ``yes'', if the C library is compiled for being thread safe (By default it isn't.) by passing the option -with-thread-safe-client to configure. See the section on How to make a threadsafe client in the manual.
First of all, you do not need an installed MySQL server for installing DBD::mysql. However, you need at least the client libraries and possibly the header files, if you are compiling DBD::mysql from source. In the case of MySQL you can create a client-only version by using the configure option --without-server. If you are using precompiled binaries, then it may be possible to use just selected RPM's like MySQL-client and MySQL-devel or something similar, depending on the distribution.
First you need to install the DBI module. For using dbimon, a simple DBI shell it is recommended to install Data::ShowTable another Perl module.
I recommend trying automatic installation via the CPAN module. Try
perl -MCPAN -e shell
If you are using the CPAN module for the first time, it will prompt you a lot of questions. If you finally receive the CPAN prompt, enter
install Bundle::DBD::mysql
If this fails (which may be the case for a number of reasons, for example because you are behind a firewall or don't have network access), you need to do a manual installation. First of all you need to fetch the modules from CPAN search
http://search.cpan.org/
The following modules are required
DBI Data::ShowTable DBD::mysql
Then enter the following commands (note - versions are just examples):
gzip -cd DBI-(version).tar.gz | tar xf - cd DBI-(version) perl Makefile.PL make make test make install
cd .. gzip -cd Data-ShowTable-(version).tar.gz | tar xf - cd Data-ShowTable-(version) perl Makefile.PL make make install
cd .. gzip -cd DBD-mysql-(version)-tar.gz | tar xf - cd DBD-mysql-(version) perl Makefile.PL make make test make install
During ``perl Makefile.PL'' you will be prompted some questions. Other questions are the directories with header files and libraries. For example, of your file mysql.h is in /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h, then enter the header directory /usr, likewise for /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a or /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.
ppm install DBI ppm install DBD::mysql
If you need an HTTP proxy, you might need to set the environment variable http_proxy, for example like this:
set http_proxy=http://myproxy.com:8080/
As of this writing, DBD::mysql is missing in the ActivePerl 5.8.0 repository. However, Randy Kobes has kindly donated an own distribution and the following might succeed:
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/DBD-mysql.ppd
Otherwise you definitely *need* a C compiler. And it *must* be the same compiler that was being used for compiling Perl itself. If you don't have a C compiler, the file README.win32 from the Perl source distribution tells you where to obtain freely distributable C compilers like egcs or gcc. The Perl sources are available via CPAN search
http://search.cpan.org
I recommend using the win32clients package for installing DBD::mysql under Win32, available for download on www.tcx.se. The following steps have been required for me:
*** c:\Perl\lib\ExtUtils\Liblist.pm.orig Sat Apr 15 20:03:40 2000 --- c:\Perl\lib\ExtUtils\Liblist.pm Sat Apr 15 20:03:45 2000 *************** *** 230,235 **** --- 230,239 ---- # add "$Config{installarchlib}/CORE" to default search path push @libpath, "$Config{installarchlib}/CORE";
+ if ($VC and exists($ENV{LIB}) and defined($ENV{LIB})) { + push(@libpath, split(/;/, $ENV{LIB})); + } + foreach (Text::ParseWords::quotewords('\s+', 0, $potential_libs)){
$thislib = $_;
IMPORTANT: Make sure this subdirectory is not shared by other TCX files! In particular do *not* store the MySQL server in the same directory. If the server is already installed in C:\mysql, choose a location like C:\tmp, extract the win32clients there. Note that you can remove this directory entirely once you have installed DBD::mysql.
nmake realclean
If you don't have VC++, replace nmake with your flavour of make. If error messages are reported in this step, you may safely ignore them.
perl Makefile.PL
which will prompt you for some settings. The really important ones are:
Which DBMS do you want to use?
enter a 1 here (MySQL only), and
Where is your mysql installed? Please tell me the directory that contains the subdir include.
where you have to enter the win32clients directory, for example C:\mysql or C:\tmp\mysql.
nmake nmake install
If you want to create a PPM package for the ActiveState Perl version, then modify the above steps as follows: Run
perl Makefile.PL NAME=DBD-mysql BINARY_LOCATION=DBD-mysql.tar.gz nmake ppd nmake
Once that is done, use tar and gzip (for example those from the CygWin32 distribution) to create an archive:
mkdir x86 tar cf x86/DBD-mysql.tar blib gzip x86/DBD-mysql.tar
Put the files x86/DBD-mysql.tar.gz and DBD-mysql.ppd onto some WWW server and install them by typing
install http://your.server.name/your/directory/DBD-mysql.ppd
The Mysql module was originally written by Andreas Kц╤nig <koenig@kulturbox.de>. The current version, mainly an emulation layer, is from Jochen Wiedmann.
