DBD::Sys::Table - abstract base class of tables used in DBD::Sys

NAME

DBD::Sys::Table - abstract base class of tables used in DBD::Sys

DESCRIPTION

DBD::Sys::Table provides an abstract base class to wrap the requirements of SQL::Statement and DBD::Sys on a table around the pure data collecting actions.

METHODS

getColNames

This method is called during the construction phase of the table. It must be a static method - the called context is the class name of the constructed object.

collectData

This method is called when the table is constructed but before the first row shall be delivered via fetch_row().

getPrimaryKey

This method returns the column name of the primary key column. If not overwritten, the first column name is returned by DBD::Sys::Table.

getTableName

Returns the name of the table based on it's class name. Override it to return another table name.

getPriority

Returns the default priority of the controlling plugin.

To speed up subsequent getPriority calls, a simple method returning the value is injected into the class name space.

new

Constructor - called from DBD::Sys::PluginManager::getTable when called from SQL::Statement::open_tables for tables with one implementor class. The $attrs argument contains the owner statement instance in the field owner and the owning database handle in the field <database>.

fetch_row

Called by SQL::Statement to fetch the single rows. This method return the rows contained in the data attribute of the individual instance.
