NAME Mojo::mysql - Mojolicious and Async MySQL SYNOPSIS use Mojo::mysql; # Create a table my $mysql = Mojo::mysql->strict_mode('mysql://username@/test'); $mysql->db->query( 'create table names (id integer auto_increment primary key, name text)'); # Insert a few rows my $db = $mysql->db; $db->query('insert into names (name) values (?)', 'Sara'); $db->query('insert into names (name) values (?)', 'Stefan'); # Insert more rows in a transaction eval { my $tx = $db->begin; $db->query('insert into names (name) values (?)', 'Baerbel'); $db->query('insert into names (name) values (?)', 'Wolfgang'); $tx->commit; }; say $@ if $@; # Insert another row and return the generated id say $db->query('insert into names (name) values (?)', 'Daniel') ->last_insert_id; # Use SQL::Abstract to generate queries for you $db->insert('names', {name => 'Isabel'}); say $db->select('names', undef, {name => 'Isabel'})->hash->{id}; $db->update('names', {name => 'Bel'}, {name => 'Isabel'}); $db->delete('names', {name => 'Bel'}); # Select one row at a time my $results = $db->query('select * from names'); while (my $next = $results->hash) { say $next->{name}; } # Select all rows blocking $db->query('select * from names') ->hashes->map(sub { $_->{name} })->join("\n")->say; # Select all rows non-blocking Mojo::IOLoop->delay( sub { my $delay = shift; $db->query('select * from names' => $delay->begin); }, sub { my ($delay, $err, $results) = @_; $results->hashes->map(sub { $_->{name} })->join("\n")->say; } )->wait; # Concurrent non-blocking queries (synchronized with promises) my $now = $db->query_p('select now() as now'); my $names = $db->query_p('select * from names'); Mojo::Promise->all($now, $names)->then(sub { my ($now, $names) = @_; say $now->[0]->hash->{now}; say $_->{name} for $names->[0]->hashes->each; })->catch(sub { my $err = shift; warn "Something went wrong: $err"; })->wait; # Send and receive notifications non-blocking $mysql->pubsub->listen(foo => sub { my ($pubsub, $payload) = @_; say "foo: $payload"; $pubsub->notify(bar => $payload); }); $mysql->pubsub->listen(bar => sub { my ($pubsub, $payload) = @_; say "bar: $payload"; }); $mysql->pubsub->notify(foo => 'MySQL rocks!'); Mojo::IOLoop->start unless Mojo::IOLoop->is_running; DESCRIPTION Mojo::mysql is a tiny wrapper around DBD::mysql that makes MySQL a lot of fun to use with the Mojolicious real-time web framework. Database and handles are cached automatically, so they can be reused transparently to increase performance. And you can handle connection timeouts gracefully by holding on to them only for short amounts of time. use Mojolicious::Lite; use Mojo::mysql; helper mysql => sub { state $mysql = Mojo::mysql->strict_mode('mysql://sri:s3cret@localhost/db') }; get '/' => sub { my $c = shift; my $db = $c->mysql->db; $c->render(json => $db->query('select now() as time')->hash); }; app->start; While all I/O operations are performed blocking, you can wait for long running queries asynchronously, allowing the Mojo::IOLoop event loop to perform other tasks in the meantime. Since database connections usually have a very low latency, this often results in very good performance. Every database connection can only handle one active query at a time, this includes asynchronous ones. So if you start more than one, they will be put on a waiting list and performed sequentially. To perform multiple queries concurrently, you have to use multiple connections. # Performed sequentially (10 seconds) my $db = $mysql->db; $db->query('select sleep(5)' => sub {...}); $db->query('select sleep(5)' => sub {...}); # Performed concurrently (5 seconds) $mysql->db->query('select sleep(5)' => sub {...}); $mysql->db->query('select sleep(5)' => sub {...}); All cached database handles will be reset automatically if a new process has been forked, this allows multiple processes to share the same Mojo::mysql object safely. EVENTS Mojo::mysql inherits all events from Mojo::EventEmitter and can emit the following new ones. connection $mysql->on(connection => sub { my ($mysql, $dbh) = @_; ... }); Emitted when a new database connection has been established. ATTRIBUTES Mojo::mysql implements the following attributes. abstract $abstract = $mysql->abstract; $mysql = $mysql->abstract(SQL::Abstract->new); SQL::Abstract object used to generate CRUD queries for Mojo::mysql::Database. # Generate statements and bind values my ($stmt, @bind) = $mysql->abstract->select('names'); auto_migrate my $bool = $mysql->auto_migrate; $mysql = $mysql->auto_migrate($bool); Automatically migrate to the latest database schema with "migrations", as soon as the first database connection has been established. Defaults to false. database_class $class = $mysql->database_class; $mysql = $mysql->database_class("MyApp::Database"); Class to be used by "db", defaults to Mojo::mysql::Database. Note that this class needs to have already been loaded before "db" is called. dsn my $dsn = $mysql->dsn; $mysql = $mysql->dsn('dbi:mysql:dbname=foo'); Data Source Name, defaults to "dbi:mysql:dbname=test". max_connections my $max = $mysql->max_connections; $mysql = $mysql->max_connections(3); Maximum number of idle database handles to cache for future use, defaults to 5. migrations my $migrations = $mysql->migrations; $mysql = $mysql->migrations(Mojo::mysql::Migrations->new); Mojo::mysql::Migrations object you can use to change your database schema more easily. # Load migrations from file and migrate to latest version $mysql->migrations->from_file('/Users/sri/migrations.sql')->migrate; MySQL does not support nested transactions and DDL transactions. DDL statements cause implicit "COMMIT". "ROLLBACK" will be called if any step of migration script fails, but only DML statements after the last implicit or explicit "COMMIT" can be reverted. Not all MySQL storage engines (like "MYISAM") support transactions. This means database will most likely be left in unknown state if migration script fails. Use this feature with caution and remember to always backup your database. options my $options = $mysql->options; $mysql = $mysql->options({mysql_use_result => 1}); Options for database handles, defaults to activating "mysql_enable_utf8", "AutoCommit", "AutoInactiveDestroy" as well as "RaiseError" and deactivating "PrintError". Note that "AutoCommit" and "RaiseError" are considered mandatory, so deactivating them would be very dangerous. "mysql_auto_reconnect" is never enabled, Mojo::mysql takes care of dead connections. "AutoCommit" cannot not be disabled, use $db->begin to manage transactions. "RaiseError" is enabled for blocking and disabled in event loop for non-blocking queries. Note about "mysql_enable_utf8": The mysql_enable_utf8 sets the utf8 charset which only supports up to 3-byte UTF-8 encodings. mysql_enable_utf8mb4 (as of DBD::mysql 4.032) properly supports encoding unicode characters to up to 4 bytes, such as 𠜎. It means the connection charset will be utf8mb4 (supported back to at least mysql 5.5) and these unicode characters will be supported, but no other changes. See also password my $password = $mysql->password; $mysql = $mysql->password('s3cret'); Database password, defaults to an empty string. pubsub my $pubsub = $mysql->pubsub; $mysql = $mysql->pubsub(Mojo::mysql::PubSub->new); Mojo::mysql::PubSub object you can use to send and receive notifications very efficiently, by sharing a single database connection with many consumers. # Subscribe to a channel $mysql->pubsub->listen(news => sub { my ($pubsub, $payload) = @_; say "Received: $payload"; }); # Notify a channel $mysql->pubsub->notify(news => 'MySQL rocks!'); Note that Mojo::mysql::PubSub should be considered an experiment! username my $username = $mysql->username; $mysql = $mysql->username('batman'); Database username, defaults to an empty string. METHODS Mojo::mysql inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the following new ones. db my $db = $mysql->db; Get Mojo::mysql::Database object for a cached or newly created database handle. The database handle will be automatically cached again when that object is destroyed, so you can handle connection timeouts gracefully by holding on to it only for short amounts of time. from_string $mysql = $mysql->from_string('mysql://user@/test'); Parse configuration from connection string. # Just a database $mysql->from_string('mysql:///db1'); # Username and database $mysql->from_string('mysql://batman@/db2'); # Username, password, host and database $mysql->from_string('mysql://batman:s3cret@localhost/db3'); # Username, domain socket and database $mysql->from_string('mysql://batman@%2ftmp%2fmysql.sock/db4'); # Username, database and additional options $mysql->from_string('mysql://batman@/db5?PrintError=1&RaiseError=0'); new my $mysql = Mojo::mysql->new; my $mysql = Mojo::mysql->new(%attrs); my $mysql = Mojo::mysql->new(\%attrs); my $mysql = Mojo::mysql->new('mysql://user@/test'); Construct a new Mojo::mysql object either from "ATTRIBUTES" and or parse connection string with "from_string" if necessary. strict_mode my $mysql = Mojo::mysql->strict_mode('mysql://user@/test'); my $mysql = $mysql->strict_mode($boolean); This method can act as both a constructor and a method. When called as a constructor, it will be the same as: my $mysql = Mojo::mysql->new('mysql://user@/test')->strict_mode(1); Enabling strict mode will execute the following statement when a new connection is created: SET SQL_MODE = CONCAT('ANSI,TRADITIONAL,ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,', @@sql_mode) SET SQL_AUTO_IS_NULL = 0 The idea is to set up a connection that makes it harder for MySQL to allow "invalid" data to be inserted. This method will not be removed, but the internal commands is subject to change. DEBUGGING You can set the "DBI_TRACE" environment variable to get some advanced diagnostics information printed to "STDERR" by DBI.
