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

get_col_names

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.

collect_data

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

get_primary_key

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

get_table_name

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

get_priority

Returns the default priority of the controlling plugin.

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

new

Constructor - called from DBD::Sys::PluginManager::get_table 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.
