NAME

Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB::Query - Convert a database query to an Excel spreadsheet

SYNOPSIS

  use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB::Query;

  my $dbh = DBI->connect(...);

  $query = q{select user from users};
  my $ss = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB->read($dbh, $query);

  # or
        $ss->write_xls('spreadsheet.xls');

DESCRIPTION

This module exports a database query as an Excel Spreadsheet. It functions very similar to Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB, except that it forms the Excel spreadsheet from a query instead of an entire table.

METHODS

_data_query

Returns the query directly to Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB

_columns_in_table

Returns the columns from the query directly to Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB

BUGS

The same bugs that apply to Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB also apply to Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB::Query. Dates are handled as strings, rather than dates.
