<h1><a name="001000000000">The SQLClient library</a></h1>
<h2><a name="001001000000">What is the SQLClient library?</a></h2>
<p>
The SQLClient library is designed to provide a simple
interface to SQL databases for GNUstep
applications. It does not attempt the sort of
abstraction provided by the much more
sophisticated GDL2 library, but rather allows
applications to directly execute SQL queries and
statements.
</p>
<p>
SQLClient provides for the Objective-C programmer
much the same thing that JDBC provides for the Java
programmer (though SQLClient is a bit faster,
easier to use, and easier to add new database backends
for than JDBC).
</p>
<p>
The major features of the SQLClient library are -
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Simple API for executing queries and statements... a
variable length sequence of comma separated
strings and other objects (NSNumber, NSDate,
NSData) are concatenated into a single SQL
statement and executed.
</li>
<li>
Simple API
<a rel="gsdoc" href="#class$SQLTransaction">SQLTransaction</a>
)for combining multiple SQL statements into a single
transaction which can be used to minimise
client-server interactions to get the best
possible performance from your database.
</li>
<li>
Supports multiple sumultaneous named connections
to a database server in a thread-safe manner. <br />
</li>
<li>
Supports multiple simultaneous connections to
different database servers with backend driver
bundles loaded for different database engines.
Clear, simple subclassing of the abstract base
class to enable easy implementation of new backend
bundles.
</li>
<li>
Configuration for all connections held in
one place and referenced by connection name for ease
of configuration control. Changes via NSUserDefaults
can even allow reconfiguration of client instances
within a running application.
</li>
<li>
Thread safe operation... The base class supports
locking such that a single instance can be shared
between multiple threads.
</li>
<li>
Support for standalone web applications... eg to
allow data to be added to the database by people
posting web forms to the application.
</li>
<li>
Supports notification of connection to and
disconnection from the database server.
</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="001002000000">
What backend bundles are available?
</a></h2>
<p>
Current backend bundles are -
</p>
<ul>
<li>
ECPG - a bundle using the embedded SQL interface for
postgres. <br /> This is based on a similar
code which was in production use for over eighteen
months, so it should be reliable, but
inefficient.
</li>
<li>
Postgres - a bundle using the libpq native
interface for postgres. <br /> This is the
preferred backend as it allows 'SELECT FOR
UPDATE', which the ECPG backend cannot support
due to limitations in the postgres implementation of
cursors. The code is now well tested and known
to be efficient.
</li>
<li>
MySQL - a bundle using the mysqlclient library for
*recent* MySQL. <br /> I don't use MySQL... but
the test program ran successfully with a vanilla
install of the MySQL packages for recent Debian
unstable.
</li>
<li>
SQLite - a bundle using the sqlite3 library which
supports an SQL-like API for direct access to a
database file (rather than acting as a client of
a database server process). <br /> Not as functional as
the other backends (doesn't support dates for
instance), but good enough for many purposes
and very 'lightweight'. See http://www.sqlite.org
</li>
<li>
Oracle - a bundle using embedded SQL for Oracle.
<br /> Completely untested... may even need some
work to compile... but this *is* based on code which
was working about a year ago. <br /> No support for
BLOBs yet.
</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="001003000000">
Where can you get it? How can you install it?
</a></h2>
<p>
The SQLClient library is currently only available via
CVS from the GNUstep CVS repository. <br /> See
<https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=gnustep>
<br /> You need to check out
<code>gnustep/dev-libs/SQLClient</code>
</p>
<p>
To build this library you must have a basic GNUstep
environment set up...
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The gnustep-make package must have been built and
installed.
</li>
<li>
The gnustep-base package must have been built and
installed.
</li>
<li>
The Performance library (from the dev-libs area in
GNUstep CVS) must have been built and installed.
</li>
<li>
If this environment is in place, all you should need
to do is run 'make' to configure and build the
library, 'make install' to install it.
</li>
<li>
Then you can run the test programs.
</li>
<li>
Your most likely problems are that the configure
script may not detect the database libraries you
want... Please figure out how to modify
<code>configure.ac</code> so that it will detect
the required headers and libraries on your system,
and supply na patch.
</li>
<li>
Once the library is installed, you can include the
header file
<code><SQLClient/SQLClient.h%gt;</code> and
link your programs with the <code>SQLClient</code>
library to use it.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Bug reports, patches, and contributions (eg a backend
bundle for a new database) should be entered on the
GNUstep project page
<http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnustep>
and the bug reporting page
<http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=gnustep>

The SQLClient class encapsulates dynamic SQL access to
relational database systems. A shared instance
of the class is used for each database (as identified by
the name of the database), and the number of
simultanous database connections is managed
too.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
SQLClient is an abstract base class... when you
create an instance of it, you are actually creating
an instance of a concrete subclass whose implementation
is loaded from a bundle.

you will need to use this method to fetch the
client/connection name and store its
C-string representation in a variable
'connectionName' declared to the sql
preprocessor, so you can then have statements
of the form - 'exec sql at :connectionName...'.

everything apart from string objects. <br />
Strings have to be handled specially, because they
are used both for parts of the SQL command, and as
values (where they need to be quoted). So where you
need to pass a string value which needs quoting, you
must call this method explicitly. <br /> Subclasses
may override this method to provide appropriate quoting
for types of object which need database backend
specific quoting conventions. However, the defalt
implementation should be OK for most cases.
<br /> This method makes use of
<a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLClient-quoteString$">
-quoteString:
</a>
to quote literal strings. <br /> The base class
implementation formats NSDate objects as
<br /> YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.mmm ?ZZZZ <br /> NSData
objects are not quoted... they must not appear in
queries, and where used for insert/update
operations, they need to be passed to the
<a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLClient(Subclass)-backendExecute$">
-backendExecute:
</a>
method unchanged. <br /> For a <code>nil</code>
object, we return NULL. <br /> For a number, we
simply convert directly to a string. <br /> For a
date, we convert to the text format used by the
database, and add leading and trailing quotes.
<br /> For a data object, we don't quote... the
other parts of the code need to know they have an
NSData object and pass it on unchanged to the
<a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLClient(Subclass)-backendExecute$">
-backendExecute:
</a>
method. <br /> Just in case an NSNull subclass has
been created by someone. The normal NSNull instance
should have been handled earlier. <br /> For an
NSArray or NSSet, we produce a bracketed list of
the (quoted) objects in the array. <br /> For any other
type of data, we just produce a quoted string
representation of the objects description.

An SQLClientPool instance may be used to create/control
a pool of client objects. Code may obtain autoreleased
proxies to the clients from the pool and use them
safe in the knowledge that they won't be used anywhere
else... as soon as the client would be deallocated, it
is returned to the pool.

All clients in the pool share the same cache object, so

<h3><a name="method$SQLTransaction-execute">execute </a></h3>

</p>
<p>
Performs any statements added to the transaction
as a single operation. If any problem occurs, an
NSException is raised, but the database
connection is left in a consistent state and a
partially completed operation is rolled back.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
NB. If the database is not already in a transaction,
this implicitly calls the
<a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLClient-begin">
-begin
</a>
method to start the transaction before executing
the statements. <br /> The method always commits the
transaction, even if the transaction was
begun earlier rather than in
<a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLTransaction-execute">
-execute
</a>
. <br /> This behavior allows you to call
<a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLClient-begin">
[SQLClient -begin]
</a>
, then run one or more queries, build up a transaction
based upon the query results, and then
<a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLTransaction-execute">

commited as a single transaction.

<h3><a name="method$SQLTransaction-executeBatch">executeBatch </a></h3>
- (unsigned) <b>executeBatch</b>;<br />

<div class="desc">
</p>
<p>
This is similar to the
<a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLTransaction-execute">
-execute
</a>
method, but may allow partial execution of the
transaction if appropriate:
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If the transaction was created using the
[SQLClient -batch:]
method and the transaction as a whole fails,
individual statements are retried. <br /> The
stopOnFailure flag for the batch creation
indicates whether the retries are stopped at
the first statement to fail, or continue (skipping
any failed statements).
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If the transaction has had transactions appended to
it, those subsidiary transactions may succeed or fail
atomically depending on their individual
attributes.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If the transaction was not created using
[SQLClient -batch:]
, then calling this method is equivalent to calling the
<a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLTransaction-execute">
-execute
</a>
method.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If any statements/transactions in the batch fail, they
are added to the transaction supplied in the
<var>failures</var> parameter (if it's not
<code>nil</code>) so that you can retry them
later. <br /> NB. statements/transactions which
are not executed at all (because the batch is set to
stop on the first failure) are <em>also</em> added
to the <var>failures</var> transaction.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If the <var>log</var> argument is <code>YES</code>,
then any exceptions encountered when executing the
batch are logged using the
[SQLClient -debug:,...]
method, even if debug logging is not enabled with
[SQLClient -setDebugging:]
.
</p>
<p>
The method returns the number of statements which
actually succeeded.

- (uint8_t) <b>setMerge:</b> (uint8_t)history;<br />
<div class="desc">
</p>
<p>
Use this method to enable merging of statemements
subsequently added or appended to the
receiver. The <var>history</var> argument
specifies how many of the most recent
statements in the transaction should be
checked for merging in a new statement, with a
value of zero meaning that no merging is done.
<br /> Returns the previous setting for the
transaction.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
You may use this feature with an insert statement of
the form: <br /> INSERT INTO table (fieldnames)
VALUES (values); <br /> For databases which
support multiline inserts such that they can be
merged into something of the form: INSERT INTO
table (fieldnames) VALUES (values1),(values2),...;
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Or may use this with an update or delete statement of
the form: <br /> command table SET settings WHERE
condition; <br /> So that statements may be
merged into: <br /> command table SET settings
WHERE (condition1) OR (condition2) OR...;
</p>
<p>
If no opportunity for merging is found, the new
statement is simply added to the transaction.
<br /> Caveats: <br /> 1. databases may not actually
support multiline insert. <br /> 2. Merging is done
only if the statement up to the string 'VALUES' (for
insert) or 'WHERE' (for update) matches. <br /> 3.
Merging into any of the last N statements (where N
is greater than 1) may of course change the order of
statements in the transaction, so care must be
taken not to use this feature where that might
matter. <br /> 4. This is a simple text match
rather than sql syntactic analysis, so it's possible
to confuse the process with complex statements.

This method is a convenience method provided for
subclasses which need to insert escaped binary
data into an SQL <var>statement</var> before sending
the <var>statement</var> to a backend server process.
This method makes use of the
<a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLClient(Subclass)-copyEscapedBLOB$into$">
-copyEscapedBLOB:into:
</a>
and
<a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLClient(Subclass)-lengthOfEscapedBLOB$">
-lengthOfEscapedBLOB:
</a>
methods, which <em>must</em> be implemented by
the subclass.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The <var>blobs</var> array is an array containing the
original SQL <var>statement</var> string (unused
by this method) followed by the data items to be
inserted.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The <var>statement</var> and <var>sLength</var>
arguments specify the datastream to be copied
and into which the BLOBs are to be inserted.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The <var>marker</var> and <var>mLength</var>
arguments specify the sequence of
<var>marker</var> bytes in the <var>statement</var>
which indicate a position for insertion of an
escaped BLOB.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The method returns either the original
<var>statement</var> or a copy containing the
escaped BLOBs. The length of the returned data is
stored in <var>result</var>.
