=head1 NAME

DBIx::SearchBuilder - Encapsulate SQL queries and rows in simple perl objects

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use DBIx::SearchBuilder;
  
  package My::Things;
  use base qw/DBIx::SearchBuilder/;
  
  sub _Init {
      my $self = shift;
      $self->Table('Things');
      return $self->SUPER::_Init(@_);
  }
  
  sub NewItem {
      my $self = shift;
      # MyThing is a subclass of DBIx::SearchBuilder::Record
      return(MyThing->new);
  }
  
  package main;

  use DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle;
  my $handle = DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle->new();
  $handle->Connect( Driver => 'SQLite', Database => "my_test_db" );

  my $sb = My::Things->new( Handle => $handle );

  $sb->Limit( FIELD => "column_1", VALUE => "matchstring" );

  while ( my $record = $sb->Next ) {
      print $record->my_column_name();
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides an object-oriented mechanism for retrieving and updating data in a DBI-accesible database. 

In order to use this module, you should create a subclass of C<DBIx::SearchBuilder> and a 
subclass of C<DBIx::SearchBuilder::Record> for each table that you wish to access.  (See
the documentation of C<DBIx::SearchBuilder::Record> for more information on subclassing it.)

Your C<DBIx::SearchBuilder> subclass must override C<NewItem>, and probably should override
at least C<_Init> also; at the very least, C<_Init> should probably call C<_Handle> and C<_Table>
to set the database handle (a C<DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle> object) and table name for the class.
You can try to override just about every other method here, as long as you think you know what you
are doing.

=head1 METHOD NAMING

Each method has a lower case alias; '_' is used to separate words.
For example, the method C<RedoSearch> has the alias C<redo_search>.

=head1 METHODS

=cut


=head2 new

Creates a new SearchBuilder object and immediately calls C<_Init> with the same parameters
that were passed to C<new>.  If you haven't overridden C<_Init> in your subclass, this means
that you should pass in a C<DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle> (or one of its subclasses) like this:

   my $sb = My::DBIx::SearchBuilder::Subclass->new( Handle => $handle );

However, if your subclass overrides _Init you do not need to take a Handle argument, as long
as your subclass returns an appropriate handle object from the C<_Handle> method.  This is
useful if you want all of your SearchBuilder objects to use a shared global handle and don't want
to have to explicitly pass it in each time, for example.

=cut

sub new {
    my $proto = shift;
    my $class = ref($proto) || $proto;
    my $self  = {};
    bless( $self, $class );
    $self->_Init(@_);
    return ($self);
}



=head2 _Init

This method is called by C<new> with whatever arguments were passed to C<new>.  
By default, it takes a C<DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle> object as a C<Handle>
argument, although this is not necessary if your subclass overrides C<_Handle>.

=cut

sub _Init {
    my $self = shift;
    my %args = ( Handle => undef,
                 @_ );
    $self->_Handle( $args{'Handle'} );

    $self->CleanSlate();
}



=head2 CleanSlate

This completely erases all the data in the SearchBuilder object. It's
useful if a subclass is doing funky stuff to keep track of a search and
wants to reset the SearchBuilder data without losing its own data;
it's probably cleaner to accomplish that in a different way, though.

=cut

sub CleanSlate {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->RedoSearch();
    $self->{'itemscount'}       = 0;
    $self->{'limit_clause'}     = "";
    $self->{'order'}            = "";
    $self->{'alias_count'}      = 0;
    $self->{'first_row'}        = 0;
    $self->{'must_redo_search'} = 1;
    $self->{'show_rows'}        = 0;
    $self->{'joins_are_distinct'} = undef;
    @{ $self->{'aliases'} } = ();

    delete $self->{$_} for qw(
        items
        left_joins
        raw_rows
        count_all
        subclauses
        restrictions
        _open_parens
        _close_parens
        group_by
        columns
        query_hint
    );

    #we have no limit statements. DoSearch won't work.
    $self->_isLimited(0);
}

=head2 Clone

Returns copy of the current object with all search restrictions.

=cut

sub Clone
{
    my $self = shift;

    my $obj = bless {}, ref($self);
    %$obj = %$self;

    delete $obj->{$_} for qw(
        items
    );
    $obj->{'must_redo_search'} = 1;
    $obj->{'itemscount'}       = 0;
    
    $obj->{ $_ } = Clone::clone( $obj->{ $_ } )
        foreach grep exists $self->{ $_ }, $self->_ClonedAttributes;
    return $obj;
}

=head2 _ClonedAttributes

Returns list of the object's fields that should be copied.

If your subclass store references in the object that should be copied while
clonning then you probably want override this method and add own values to
the list.

=cut

sub _ClonedAttributes
{
    return qw(
        aliases
        left_joins
        subclauses
        restrictions
        order_by
        group_by
        columns
        query_hint
    );
}



=head2 _Handle  [DBH]

Get or set this object's DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle object.

=cut

sub _Handle {
    my $self = shift;
    if (@_) {
        $self->{'DBIxHandle'} = shift;
    }
    return ( $self->{'DBIxHandle'} );
}

=head2 _DoSearch

This internal private method actually executes the search on the database;
it is called automatically the first time that you actually need results
(such as a call to C<Next>).

=cut

sub _DoSearch {
    my $self = shift;

    my $QueryString = $self->BuildSelectQuery();

    # If we're about to redo the search, we need an empty set of items and a reset iterator
    delete $self->{'items'};
    $self->{'itemscount'} = 0;

    my $records = $self->_Handle->SimpleQuery($QueryString);
    return 0 unless $records;

    while ( my $row = $records->fetchrow_hashref() ) {
	my $item = $self->NewItem();
	$item->LoadFromHash($row);
	$self->AddRecord($item);
    }
    return $self->_RecordCount if $records->err;

    $self->{'must_redo_search'} = 0;

    return $self->_RecordCount;
}


=head2 AddRecord RECORD

Adds a record object to this collection.

=cut

sub AddRecord {
    my $self = shift;
    my $record = shift;
    push @{$self->{'items'}}, $record;
}

=head2 _RecordCount

This private internal method returns the number of Record objects saved
as a result of the last query.

=cut

sub _RecordCount {
    my $self = shift;
    return 0 unless defined $self->{'items'};
    return scalar @{ $self->{'items'} };
}



=head2 _DoCount

This internal private method actually executes a counting operation on the database;
it is used by C<Count> and C<CountAll>.

=cut


sub _DoCount {
    my $self = shift;
    my $all  = shift || 0;

    my $QueryString = $self->BuildSelectCountQuery();
    my $records     = $self->_Handle->SimpleQuery($QueryString);
    return 0 unless $records;

    my @row = $records->fetchrow_array();
    return 0 if $records->err;

    $self->{ $all ? 'count_all' : 'raw_rows' } = $row[0];

    return ( $row[0] );
}



=head2 _ApplyLimits STATEMENTREF

This routine takes a reference to a scalar containing an SQL statement. 
It massages the statement to limit the returned rows to only C<< $self->RowsPerPage >>
rows, skipping C<< $self->FirstRow >> rows.  (That is, if rows are numbered
starting from 0, row number C<< $self->FirstRow >> will be the first row returned.)
Note that it probably makes no sense to set these variables unless you are also
enforcing an ordering on the rows (with C<OrderByCols>, say).

=cut


sub _ApplyLimits {
    my $self = shift;
    my $statementref = shift;
    $self->_Handle->ApplyLimits($statementref, $self->RowsPerPage, $self->FirstRow);
    $$statementref =~ s/main\.\*/join(', ', @{$self->{columns}})/eg
	    if $self->{columns} and @{$self->{columns}};
}


=head2 _DistinctQuery STATEMENTREF

This routine takes a reference to a scalar containing an SQL statement. 
It massages the statement to ensure a distinct result set is returned.

=cut

sub _DistinctQuery {
    my $self = shift;
    my $statementref = shift;

    # XXX - Postgres gets unhappy with distinct and OrderBy aliases
    $self->_Handle->DistinctQuery($statementref, $self)
}

=head2 _BuildJoins

Build up all of the joins we need to perform this query.

=cut


sub _BuildJoins {
    my $self = shift;

        return ( $self->_Handle->_BuildJoins($self) );

}


=head2 _isJoined 

Returns true if this SearchBuilder will be joining multiple tables together.

=cut

sub _isJoined {
    my $self = shift;
    if ( keys %{ $self->{'left_joins'} } ) {
        return (1);
    } else {
        return (@{ $self->{'aliases'} });
    }

}




# LIMIT clauses are used for restricting ourselves to subsets of the search.



sub _LimitClause {
    my $self = shift;
    my $limit_clause;

    if ( $self->RowsPerPage ) {
        $limit_clause = " LIMIT ";
        if ( $self->FirstRow != 0 ) {
            $limit_clause .= $self->FirstRow . ", ";
        }
        $limit_clause .= $self->RowsPerPage;
    }
    else {
        $limit_clause = "";
    }
    return $limit_clause;
}



=head2 _isLimited

If we've limited down this search, return true. Otherwise, return false.

=cut

sub _isLimited {
    my $self = shift;
    if (@_) {
        $self->{'is_limited'} = shift;

=head2 Next

Returns the next row from the set as an object of the type defined by sub NewItem.
When the complete set has been iterated through, returns undef and resets the search
such that the following call to Next will start over with the first item retrieved from the database.

=cut



sub Next {
    my $self = shift;
    my @row;

    return (undef) unless ( $self->_isLimited );

    $self->_DoSearch() if $self->{'must_redo_search'};

    else {    #we've gone through the whole list. reset the count.
        $self->GotoFirstItem();
        return (undef);
    }
}



=head2 GotoFirstItem

Starts the recordset counter over from the first item. The next time you call Next,
you'll get the first item returned by the database, as if you'd just started iterating
through the result set.

=cut


sub GotoFirstItem {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->GotoItem(0);
}




=head2 GotoItem

Takes an integer N and sets the record iterator to N.  The first time L</Next>
is called afterwards, it will return the Nth item found by the search.

You should only call GotoItem after you've already fetched at least one result
or otherwise forced the search query to run (such as via L</ItemsArrayRef>).
If GotoItem is called before the search query is ever run, it will reset the
item iterator and L</Next> will return the L</First> item.

=cut

sub GotoItem {
    my $self = shift;
    my $item = shift;
    $self->{'itemscount'} = $item;
}



=head2 First

Returns the first item

=cut

sub First {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->GotoFirstItem();
    return ( $self->Next );
}



=head2 Last

Returns the last item

=cut

sub Last {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->_DoSearch if $self->{'must_redo_search'};
    $self->GotoItem( ( $self->Count ) - 1 );
    return ( $self->Next );
}

=head2 DistinctFieldValues

Returns list with distinct values of field. Limits on collection
are accounted, so collection should be L</UnLimit>ed to get values
from the whole table.

Takes paramhash with the following keys:

=over 4

=item Field

Field name. Can be first argument without key.

=item Order

'ASC', 'DESC' or undef. Defines whether results should
be sorted or not. By default results are not sorted.

=item Max

Maximum number of elements to fetch.

=back

=cut

sub DistinctFieldValues {
    my $self = shift;
    my %args = (
        Field  => undef,
        Order  => undef,
        Max    => undef,
        @_%2 ? (Field => @_) : (@_)
    );

    my $query_string = $self->_BuildJoins;
    $query_string .= ' '. $self->_WhereClause
        if $self->_isLimited > 0;

    my $query_hint = $self->QueryHintFormatted;

    my $dbh = $self->_Handle->dbh;
    my $list = $dbh->selectcol_arrayref( $query_string, { MaxRows => $args{'Max'} } );
    return $list? @$list : ();
}



=head2 ItemsArrayRef

Return a refernece to an array containing all objects found by this search.

=cut

sub ItemsArrayRef {
    my $self = shift;

    #If we're not limited, return an empty array
    return [] unless $self->_isLimited;

    #Do a search if we need to.
    $self->_DoSearch() if $self->{'must_redo_search'};

    #If we've got any items in the array, return them.
    # Otherwise, return an empty array
    return ( $self->{'items'} || [] );
}




=head2 NewItem

NewItem must be subclassed. It is used by DBIx::SearchBuilder to create record 
objects for each row returned from the database.

=cut

sub NewItem {
    my $self = shift;

    die
"DBIx::SearchBuilder needs to be subclassed. you can't use it directly.\n";
}



=head2 RedoSearch

Takes no arguments.  Tells DBIx::SearchBuilder that the next time it's asked
for a record, it should requery the database

=cut

sub RedoSearch {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->{'must_redo_search'} = 1;
}




=head2 UnLimit

UnLimit clears all restrictions and causes this object to return all
rows in the primary table.

=cut

sub UnLimit {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->_isLimited(-1);
}



=head2 Limit

Limit takes a hash of parameters with the following keys:

=over 4

=item TABLE 

Can be set to something different than this table if a join is
wanted (that means we can't do recursive joins as for now).  

=item ALIAS

Unless ALIAS is set, the join criterias will be taken from EXT_LINKFIELD
and INT_LINKFIELD and added to the criterias.  If ALIAS is set, new
criterias about the foreign table will be added.

=item LEFTJOIN

To apply the Limit inside the ON clause of a previously created left
join, pass this option along with the alias returned from creating
the left join. ( This is similar to using the EXPRESSION option when
creating a left join but this allows you to refer to the join alias
in the expression. )

=item FIELD

Column to be checked against.

=item FUNCTION

Function that should be checked against or applied to the FIELD before
check. See L</CombineFunctionWithField> for rules.

=item VALUE

Should always be set and will always be quoted. 

=item OPERATOR

OPERATOR is the SQL operator to use for this phrase.  Possible choices include:

=over 4

=item "="

=item "!="

=item "LIKE"

In the case of LIKE, the string is surrounded in % signs.  Yes. this is a bug.

=item "NOT LIKE"

=item "STARTSWITH"

STARTSWITH is like LIKE, except it only appends a % at the end of the string

=item "ENDSWITH"

ENDSWITH is like LIKE, except it prepends a % to the beginning of the string

=item "MATCHES"

MATCHES is equivalent to the database's LIKE -- that is, it's actually LIKE, but
doesn't surround the string in % signs as LIKE does.

=item "IN" and "NOT IN"

VALUE can be an array reference or an object inherited from this class. If
it's not then it's treated as any other operator and in most cases SQL would
be wrong. Values in array are considered as constants and quoted according
to QUOTEVALUE.

If object is passed as VALUE then its select statement is used. If no L</Column>
is selected then C<id> is used, if more than one selected then warning is issued
and first column is used.

=back

=item ENTRYAGGREGATOR 

Can be C<AND> or C<OR> (or anything else valid to aggregate two clauses in SQL).
Special value is C<none> which means that no entry aggregator should be used.
The default value is C<OR>.

=item CASESENSITIVE

on some databases, such as postgres, setting CASESENSITIVE to 1 will make
this search case sensitive

=item SUBCLAUSE

Subclause allows you to assign tags to Limit statements.  Statements with
matching SUBCLAUSE tags will be grouped together in the final SQL statement.

Example:

Suppose you want to create Limit statements which would produce results
the same as the following SQL:

   SELECT * FROM Users WHERE EmailAddress OR Name OR RealName OR Email LIKE $query;

You would use the following Limit statements:

    $folks->Limit( FIELD => 'EmailAddress', OPERATOR => 'LIKE', VALUE => "$query", SUBCLAUSE => 'groupsearch');
    $folks->Limit( FIELD => 'Name', OPERATOR => 'LIKE', VALUE => "$query", SUBCLAUSE => 'groupsearch');
    $folks->Limit( FIELD => 'RealName', OPERATOR => 'LIKE', VALUE => "$query", SUBCLAUSE => 'groupsearch');

=back

=head2 NewAlias

Takes the name of a table and paramhash with TYPE and DISTINCT.

Use TYPE equal to C<LEFT> to indicate that it's LEFT JOIN. Old
style way to call (see below) is also supported, but should be
B<avoided>:

    $records->NewAlias('aTable', 'left');

True DISTINCT value indicates that this join keeps result set
distinct and DB side distinct is not required. See also L</Join>.

Returns the string of a new Alias for that table, which can be used to Join tables
or to Limit what gets found by a search.

=head2 Join

Join instructs DBIx::SearchBuilder to join two tables.  

The standard form takes a param hash with keys ALIAS1, FIELD1, ALIAS2 and 
FIELD2. ALIAS1 and ALIAS2 are column aliases obtained from $self->NewAlias or
a $self->Limit. FIELD1 and FIELD2 are the fields in ALIAS1 and ALIAS2 that 
should be linked, respectively.  For this type of join, this method
has no return value.

Supplying the parameter TYPE => 'left' causes Join to preform a left join.
in this case, it takes ALIAS1, FIELD1, TABLE2 and FIELD2. Because of the way
that left joins work, this method needs a TABLE for the second field
rather than merely an alias.  For this type of join, it will return
the alias generated by the join.

Instead of ALIAS1/FIELD1, it's possible to specify EXPRESSION, to join
ALIAS2/TABLE2 on an arbitrary expression.

It is also possible to join to a pre-existing, already-limited
L<DBIx::SearchBuilder> object, by passing it as COLLECTION2, instead
of providing an ALIAS2 or TABLE2.

By passing true value as DISTINCT argument join can be marked distinct. If
all joins are distinct then whole query is distinct and SearchBuilder can
avoid L</_DistinctQuery> call that can hurt performance of the query. See
also L</NewAlias>.

=cut

=head2 Pages: size and changing

Use L</RowsPerPage> to set size of pages. L</NextPage>,
L</PrevPage>, L</FirstPage> or L</GotoPage> to change
pages. L</FirstRow> to do tricky stuff.

=head3 RowsPerPage

Get or set the number of rows returned by the database.

Takes an optional integer which restricts the # of rows returned
in a result. Zero or undef argument flush back to "return all
records matching current conditions".

Returns the current page size.

=cut

sub RowsPerPage {

Turns one page forward.

=cut

    my $self = shift;
    $self->FirstRow( $self->FirstRow + 1 + $self->RowsPerPage );

=head3 PrevPage

Turns one page backwards.

=head3 FirstPage

Jumps to the first page.

=cut

sub FirstPage {

=head3 GotoPage

Takes an integer number and jumps to that page or first page if
number omitted. Numbering starts from zero.

=cut

sub GotoPage {
    my $self = shift;
    my $page = shift || 0;

    $self->FirstRow( 1 + $self->RowsPerPage * $page );
}

=head3 FirstRow

Get or set the first row of the result set the database should return.
Takes an optional single integer argrument. Returns the currently set integer
minus one (this is historical issue).

Usually you don't need this method. Use L</RowsPerPage>, L</NextPage> and other
methods to walk pages. It only may be helpful to get 10 records starting from
5th.

=cut

sub FirstRow {
    my $self = shift;

=head2 Column

Call to specify which columns should be loaded from the table. Each
calls adds one column to the set.  Takes a hash with the following named
arguments:

=over 4

=item FIELD

Column name to fetch or apply function to.

=item ALIAS

Alias of a table the field is in; defaults to C<main>

=item FUNCTION

A SQL function that should be selected instead of FIELD or applied to it.

=item AS

The B<column> alias to use instead of the default.  The default column alias is
either the column's name (i.e. what is passed to FIELD) if it is in this table
(ALIAS is 'main') or an autogenerated alias.  Pass C<undef> to skip column
aliasing entirely.

=back

C<FIELD>, C<ALIAS> and C<FUNCTION> are combined according to
L</CombineFunctionWithField>.

If a FIELD is provided and it is in this table (ALIAS is 'main'), then
the column named FIELD and can be accessed as usual by accessors:

    $articles->Column(FIELD => 'id');
    $articles->Column(FIELD => 'Subject', FUNCTION => 'SUBSTR(?, 1, 20)');
    my $article = $articles->First;
    my $aid = $article->id;
    my $subject_prefix = $article->Subject;

Returns the alias used for the column. If FIELD was not provided, or was
from another table, then the returned column alias should be passed to
the L<DBIx::SearchBuilder::Record/_Value> method to retrieve the
column's result:

    my $time_alias = $articles->Column(FUNCTION => 'NOW()');
    my $article = $articles->First;
    my $now = $article->_Value( $time_alias );

To choose the column's alias yourself, pass a value for the AS parameter (see
above).  Be careful not to conflict with existing column aliases.

=cut

sub Column {
    my $self = shift;
    my %args = ( TABLE => undef,
               ALIAS => undef,

            && (!$args{'TABLE'} || $args{'TABLE'} eq $self->Table )
        ) {
            $column = $args{FIELD};

        }
    }
    push @{ $self->{columns} ||= [] }, defined($column) ? "$name AS \L$column" : $name;
    return $column;
}

=head2 CombineFunctionWithField

Takes a hash with three optional arguments: FUNCTION, FIELD and ALIAS.

Returns SQL with all three arguments combined according to the following
rules.

=over 4

=item *

FUNCTION or undef returned when FIELD is not provided

=item *

'main' ALIAS is used if not provided

=item *

ALIAS.FIELD returned when FUNCTION is not provided

=item *

NULL returned if FUNCTION is 'NULL'

=item *

If FUNCTION contains '?' (question marks) then they are replaced with
ALIAS.FIELD and result returned.

=item *

If FUNCTION has no '(' (opening parenthesis) then ALIAS.FIELD is
appended in parentheses and returned.

=back

=head2 AdditionalColumn

Calls L</Column>, but first ensures that this table's standard columns are
selected as well.  Thus, each call to this method results in an additional
column selected instead of replacing the default columns.

Takes a hash of parameters which is the same as L</Column>.  Returns the result
of calling L</Column>.

presented by the database, which may be case-sensitive.

=cut

=head2 QueryHint [Hint]

If called with an argument, sets a query hint for this collection.

Always returns the query hint.

When the query hint is included in the SQL query, the C</* ... */> will be
included for you. Here's an example query hint for Oracle:

    $sb->QueryHint("+CURSOR_SHARING_EXACT");

=cut

=head1 TESTING

In order to test most of the features of C<DBIx::SearchBuilder>, you need
to provide C<make test> with a test database.  For each DBI driver that you
would like to test, set the environment variables C<SB_TEST_FOO>, C<SB_TEST_FOO_USER>,
and C<SB_TEST_FOO_PASS> to a database name, database username, and database password,
where "FOO" is the driver name in all uppercase.  You can test as many drivers
as you like.  (The appropriate C<DBD::> module needs to be installed in order for
the test to work.)  Note that the C<SQLite> driver will automatically be tested if C<DBD::Sqlite>
is installed, using a temporary file as the database.  For example:

  SB_TEST_MYSQL=test SB_TEST_MYSQL_USER=root SB_TEST_MYSQL_PASS=foo \
    SB_TEST_PG=test SB_TEST_PG_USER=postgres  make test
