DBD::CSV - DBI driver for CSV files

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use DBI;
    # See "Creating database handle" below
    $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:CSV:", undef, undef, {
        f_ext      => ".csv/r",
        RaiseError => 1,
        }) or die "Cannot connect: $DBI::errstr";

    # Simple statements

    # Selecting
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare ("select * from foo");
    $sth->execute;

    my $sth = $dbh->prepare ("UPDATE foo SET name = ? WHERE id = ?");
    $sth->execute ("DBI rocks!", 1);
    $sth->finish;

    $dbh->disconnect;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The DBD::CSV module is yet another driver for the DBI (Database independent
interface for Perl). This one is based on the SQL "engine" SQL::Statement
and the abstract DBI driver DBD::File and implements access to so-called
CSV files (Comma Separated Values). Such files are often used for exporting
MS Access and MS Excel data.

See L<DBI> for details on DBI, L<SQL::Statement> for details on
SQL::Statement and L<DBD::File> for details on the base class DBD::File.

=head2 Prerequisites

The only system dependent feature that DBD::File uses, is the C<flock ()>
function. Thus the module should run (in theory) on any system with
a working C<flock ()>, in particular on all Unix machines and on Windows
NT. Under Windows 95 and MacOS the use of C<flock ()> is disabled, thus
the module should still be usable.

Unlike other DBI drivers, you don't need an external SQL engine or a
running server. All you need are the following Perl modules, available
from any CPAN mirror, for example

  http://search.cpan.org/

=over 4

=item DBI
X<DBI>

A recent version of the L<DBI> (Database independent interface for Perl).
See below why.

=item DBD::File
X<DBD::File>

This is the base class for DBD::CSV, and it is part of the DBI
distribution. As DBD::CSV requires a matching version of L<DBD::File>
which is (partly) developed by the same team that maintains
DBD::CSV. See META.json or Makefile.PL for the minimum versions.

=item SQL::Statement
X<SQL::Statement>

A simple SQL engine. This module defines all of the SQL syntax for
DBD::CSV, new SQL support is added with each release so you should
look for updates to SQL::Statement regularly.

It is possible to run C<DBD::CSV> without this module if you define
the environment variable C<$DBI_SQL_NANO> to 1. This will reduce the
SQL support a lot though. See L<DBI::SQL::Nano> for more details. Note
that the test suite does only test in this mode in the development
environment.

=item Text::CSV_XS
X<Text::CSV_XS>

This module is used to read and write rows in a CSV file.

=back

=head2 Installation

Installing this module (and the prerequisites from above) is quite simple.
The simplest way is to install the bundle:

    $ cpan Bundle::CSV

Alternatively, you can name them all

    $ cpan Text::CSV_XS DBI DBD::CSV

or even trust C<cpan> to resolve all dependencies for you:

    $ cpan DBD::CSV

If you cannot, for whatever reason, use cpan, fetch all modules from
CPAN, and build with a sequence like:

    gzip -d < DBD-CSV-0.40.tgz | tar xf -

(this is for Unix users, Windows users would prefer WinZip or something
similar) and then enter the following:

    cd DBD-CSV-0.40
    perl Makefile.PL
    make test

If any tests fail, let us know. Otherwise go on with

    make install UNINST=1

Note that you almost definitely need root or administrator permissions.
If you don't have them, read the ExtUtils::MakeMaker man page for details
on installing in your own directories. L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker>.

=head2 Supported SQL Syntax

All SQL processing for DBD::CSV is done by SQL::Statement. See
L<SQL::Statement> for more specific information about its feature set.
Features include joins, aliases, built-in and user-defined functions,
and more.  See L<SQL::Statement::Syntax> for a description of the SQL
syntax supported in DBD::CSV.

Table- and column-names are case insensitive unless quoted. Column names
will be sanitized unless L</raw_header> is true.

=head1 Using DBD::CSV with DBI

For most things, DBD-CSV operates the same as any DBI driver.
See L<DBI> for detailed usage.

=head2 Creating a database handle (connect)

Creating a database handle usually implies connecting to a database server.
Thus this command reads

    use DBI;
    my $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:CSV:", "", "", {
	f_dir => "/home/user/folder",
	});

The directory tells the driver where it should create or open tables (a.k.a.
files). It defaults to the current directory, so the following are equivalent:

    $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:CSV:");
    $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:CSV:", undef, undef, { f_dir => "." });
    $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:CSV:f_dir=.");

We were told, that VMS might - for whatever reason - require:

    $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:CSV:f_dir=");

The preferred way of passing the arguments is by driver attributes:

    # specify most possible flags via driver flags
    $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:CSV:", undef, undef, {
	f_schema         => undef,
	f_dir            => "data",
	f_dir_search     => [],
	f_ext            => ".csv/r",
	f_lock           => 2,
	f_encoding       => "utf8",

	csv_eol          => "\r\n",
	csv_sep_char     => ",",
	csv_quote_char   => '"',
	csv_escape_char  => '"',
	csv_class        => "Text::CSV_XS",
	csv_null         => 1,
	csv_tables       => {
	    info => { f_file => "info.csv" }
	    },

	RaiseError       => 1,
	PrintError       => 1,
	FetchHashKeyName => "NAME_lc",
	}) or die $DBI::errstr;

but you may set these attributes in the DSN as well, separated by semicolons.
Pay attention to the semi-colon for C<csv_sep_char> (as seen in many CSV
exports from MS Excel) is being escaped in below example, as is would
otherwise be seen as attribute separator:

    $dbh = DBI->connect (
	"dbi:CSV:f_dir=$ENV{HOME}/csvdb;f_ext=.csv;f_lock=2;" .
	"f_encoding=utf8;csv_eol=\n;csv_sep_char=\\;;" .
	"csv_quote_char=\";csv_escape_char=\\;csv_class=Text::CSV_XS;" .
	"csv_null=1") or die $DBI::errstr;

Using attributes in the DSN is easier to use when the DSN is derived from an
outside source (environment variable, database entry, or configure file),
whereas specifying entries in the attribute hash is easier to read and to
maintain.

=head2 Creating and dropping tables

You can create and drop tables with commands like the following:

    $dbh->do ("CREATE TABLE $table (id INTEGER, name CHAR (64))");
    $dbh->do ("DROP TABLE $table");

Note that currently only the column names will be stored and no other data.
Thus all other information including column type (INTEGER or CHAR (x), for
example), column attributes (NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY, ...) will silently be
discarded. This may change in a later release.

A drop just removes the file without any warning.

See L<DBI> for more details.

Table names cannot be arbitrary, due to restrictions of the SQL syntax.
I recommend that table names are valid SQL identifiers: The first
character is alphabetic, followed by an arbitrary number of alphanumeric
characters. If you want to use other files, the file names must start
with "/", "./" or "../" and they must not contain white space.

=head2 Inserting, fetching and modifying data

The following examples insert some data in a table and fetch it back:
First, an example where the column data is concatenated in the SQL string:

    $dbh->do ("INSERT INTO $table VALUES (1, ".
	       $dbh->quote ("foobar") . ")");

Note the use of the quote method for escaping the word "foobar". Any
string must be escaped, even if it does not contain binary data.

Next, an example using parameters:

    $dbh->do ("INSERT INTO $table VALUES (?, ?)", undef, 2,
	      "It's a string!");

Note that you don't need to quote column data passed as parameters.
This version is particularly well designed for
loops. Whenever performance is an issue, I recommend using this method.

You might wonder about the C<undef>. Don't wonder, just take it as it
is. :-) It's an attribute argument that I have never used and will be
passed to the prepare method as the second argument.

To retrieve data, you can use the following:

    my $query = "SELECT * FROM $table WHERE id > 1 ORDER BY id";
    my $sth   = $dbh->prepare ($query);
    $sth->execute ();
    while (my $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) {
	print "Found result row: id = ", $row->{id},
	      ", name = ", $row->{name};
	}
    $sth->finish ();

Again, column binding works: The same example again.

    my $sth = $dbh->prepare (qq;
	SELECT * FROM $table WHERE id > 1 ORDER BY id;
	;);
    $sth->execute;
    my ($id, $name);
    $sth->bind_columns (undef, \$id, \$name);
    while ($sth->fetch) {
	print "Found result row: id = $id, name = $name\n";
	}
    $sth->finish;

Of course you can even use input parameters. Here's the same example
for the third time:

    my $sth = $dbh->prepare ("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE id = ?");
    $sth->bind_columns (undef, \$id, \$name);
    for (my $i = 1; $i <= 2; $i++) {
	$sth->execute ($id);
	if ($sth->fetch) {
	    print "Found result row: id = $id, name = $name\n";
	    }
	$sth->finish;
	}

See L<DBI> for details on these methods. See L<SQL::Statement> for
details on the WHERE clause.

Data rows are modified with the UPDATE statement:

    $dbh->do ("UPDATE $table SET id = 3 WHERE id = 1");

Likewise you use the DELETE statement for removing rows:

    $dbh->do ("DELETE FROM $table WHERE id > 1");

=head2 Error handling

In the above examples we have never cared about return codes. Of
course, this is not recommended. Instead we should have written (for
example):

    my $sth = $dbh->prepare ("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE id = ?") or
	die "prepare: " . $dbh->errstr ();
    $sth->bind_columns (undef, \$id, \$name) or
	die "bind_columns: " . $dbh->errstr ();
    for (my $i = 1; $i <= 2; $i++) {
	$sth->execute ($id) or
	    die "execute: " . $dbh->errstr ();
	$sth->fetch and
	    print "Found result row: id = $id, name = $name\n";
	}
    $sth->finish ($id) or die "finish: " . $dbh->errstr ();

Obviously this is tedious. Fortunately we have DBI's I<RaiseError>
attribute:

    $dbh->{RaiseError} = 1;
    $@ = "";
    eval {
	my $sth = $dbh->prepare ("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE id = ?");
	$sth->bind_columns (undef, \$id, \$name);
	for (my $i = 1; $i <= 2; $i++) {
	    $sth->execute ($id);
	    $sth->fetch and
		print "Found result row: id = $id, name = $name\n";
	    }
	$sth->finish ($id);
	};
    $@ and die "SQL database error: $@";

This is not only shorter, it even works when using DBI methods within
subroutines.

=head1 DBI database handle attributes

=head2 Metadata

The following attributes are handled by DBI itself and not by DBD::File,
thus they all work as expected:

    Active
    ActiveKids
    CachedKids
    CompatMode             (Not used)
    InactiveDestroy
    Kids
    PrintError
    RaiseError
    Warn                   (Not used)

The following DBI attributes are handled by DBD::File:

=over 4

=item AutoCommit
X<AutoCommit>

Always on

=item ChopBlanks
X<ChopBlanks>

Works

=item NUM_OF_FIELDS
X<NUM_OF_FIELDS>

Valid after C<$sth-E<gt>execute>

=item NUM_OF_PARAMS
X<NUM_OF_PARAMS>

Valid after C<$sth-E<gt>prepare>

=item NAME
X<NAME>

=item NAME_lc
X<NAME_lc>

=item NAME_uc
X<NAME_uc>

Valid after C<$sth-E<gt>execute>; undef for Non-Select statements.

=item NULLABLE

Not really working. Always returns an array ref of one's, as DBD::CSV
does not verify input data. Valid after C<$sth-E<gt>execute>; undef for
non-Select statements.

=head1 DBD-CSV specific database handle attributes

In addition to the DBI attributes, you can use the following dbh
attributes:

=head2 DBD::File attributes

=over 4

=item f_dir
X<f_dir>

This attribute is used for setting the directory where CSV files are
opened. Usually you set it in the dbh and it defaults to the current
directory ("."). However, it may be overridden in statement handles.

=item f_dir_search
X<f_dir_search>

This attribute optionally defines a list of extra directories to search
when opening existing tables. It should be an anonymous list or an array
reference listing all folders where tables could be found.

    my $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:CSV:", "", "", {
	f_dir        => "data",
	f_dir_search => [ "ref/data", "ref/old" ],
	f_ext        => ".csv/r",
	}) or die $DBI::errstr;

=item f_ext
X<f_ext>

This attribute is used for setting the file extension.

=item f_schema
X<f_schema>

This attribute allows you to set the database schema name. The default is
to use the owner of C<f_dir>. C<undef> is allowed, but not in the DSN part.

    my $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:CSV:", "", "", {
	f_schema => undef,
	f_dir    => "data",
	f_ext    => ".csv/r",
	}) or die $DBI::errstr;

=item f_encoding
X<f_encoding>

This attribute allows you to set the encoding of the data. With CSV, it is not
possible to set (and remember) the encoding on a column basis, but DBD::File
now allows the encoding to be set on the underlying file. If this attribute is
not set, or undef is passed, the file will be seen as binary.

=item f_lock
X<f_lock>

With this attribute you can specify a locking mode to be used (if locking is
supported at all) for opening tables. By default, tables are opened with a
shared lock for reading, and with an exclusive lock for writing. The
supported modes are:

=over 2

=item 0
X<0>

Force no locking at all.

=item 1
X<1>

Only shared locks will be used.

=item 2
X<2>

Only exclusive locks will be used.

But see L<DBD::File/"KNOWN BUGS">.

=head2 DBD::CSV specific attributes

=over 4

=item csv_class

The attribute I<csv_class> controls the CSV parsing engine. This defaults
to C<Text::CSV_XS>, but C<Text::CSV> can be used in some cases, too.
Please be aware that C<Text::CSV> does not care about any edge case as
C<Text::CSV_XS> does and that C<Text::CSV> is probably about 100 times
slower than C<Text::CSV_XS>.

=back

=head2 Text::CSV_XS specific attributes

=over 4

=item csv_eol
X<csv_eol>

=item csv_sep_char
X<csv_sep_char>

=item csv_quote_char
X<csv_quote_char>

=item csv_escape_char
X<csv_escape_char>

=item csv_csv
X<csv_csv>

The attributes I<csv_eol>, I<csv_sep_char>, I<csv_quote_char> and
I<csv_escape_char> are corresponding to the respective attributes of the
I<csv_class> (usually Text::CSV_CS) object. You may want to set these
attributes if you have unusual CSV files like F</etc/passwd> or MS Excel
generated CSV files with a semicolon as separator. Defaults are
C<\015\012>", C<,>, C<"> and C<">, respectively.

The I<csv_eol> attribute defines the end-of-line pattern, which is better
known as a record separator pattern since it separates records.  The default
is windows-style end-of-lines C<\015\012> for output (writing) and unset for
input (reading), so if on unix you may want to set this to newline (C<\n>)
like this:

  $dbh->{csv_eol} = "\n";

It is also possible to use multi-character patterns as record separators.
For example this file uses newlines as field separators (sep_char) and
the pattern "\n__ENDREC__\n" as the record separators (eol):

  name
  city
  __ENDREC__
  joe
  seattle
  __ENDREC__
  sue
  portland
  __ENDREC__

To handle this file, you'd do this:

  $dbh->{eol}      = "\n__ENDREC__\n" ,
  $dbh->{sep_char} = "\n"

The attributes are used to create an instance of the class I<csv_class>,
by default Text::CSV_XS. Alternatively you may pass an instance as
I<csv_csv>, the latter takes precedence. Note that the I<binary>
attribute I<must> be set to a true value in that case.

Additionally you may overwrite these attributes on a per-table base in
the I<csv_tables> attribute.

=item csv_null
X<csv_null>

With this option set, all new statement handles will set C<always_quote>
and C<blank_is_undef> in the CSV parser and writer, so it knows how to
distinguish between the empty string and C<undef> or C<NULL>. You cannot
reset it with a false value. You can pass it to connect, or set it later:

  $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:CSV:", "", "", { csv_null => 1 });

  $dbh->{csv_null} = 1;

=item csv_tables
X<csv_tables>

This hash ref is used for storing table dependent metadata. For any
table it contains an element with the table name as key and another
hash ref with the following attributes:

=item csv_*
X<csv_*>

All other attributes that start with C<csv_> and are not described above
will be passed to C<Text::CSV_XS> (without the C<csv_> prefix). These
extra options are only likely to be useful for reading (select)
handles. Examples:

  $dbh->{csv_allow_whitespace}    = 1;
  $dbh->{csv_allow_loose_quotes}  = 1;
  $dbh->{csv_allow_loose_escapes} = 1;

See the C<Text::CSV_XS> documentation for the full list and the documentation.

=back

=head2 Driver specific attributes

=over 4

=item f_file
X<f_file>

The name of the file used for the table; defaults to

    "$dbh->{f_dir}/$table"

=item eol
X<eol>

=item sep_char
X<sep_char>

=item quote_char
X<quote_char>

=item escape_char
X<escape_char>

=item class
X<class>

=item csv
X<csv>

These correspond to the attributes I<csv_eol>, I<csv_sep_char>,
I<csv_quote_char>, I<csv_escape_char>, I<csv_class> and I<csv_csv>.
The difference is that they work on a per-table basis.

=item col_names
X<col_names>

=item skip_first_row
X<skip_first_row>

By default DBD::CSV assumes that column names are stored in the first row
of the CSV file and sanitizes them (see C<raw_header> below). If this is
not the case, you can supply an array ref of table names with the
I<col_names> attribute. In that case the attribute I<skip_first_row> will
be set to FALSE.

If you supply an empty array ref, the driver will read the first row
for you, count the number of columns and create column names like
C<col0>, C<col1>, ...

Note that column names that match reserved SQL words will cause unwanted
and sometimes confusing errors. If your CSV has headers that match reserved
words, you will require these two attributes.

If C<test.csv> looks like

 select,from
 1,2

the select query would result in C<select select, from from test;>, which
obviously is illegal SQL.

=item raw_header
X<raw_header>

Due to the SQL standard, field names cannot contain special characters
like a dot (C<.>) or a space (C< >) unless the column names are quoted.
Following the approach of mdb_tools, all these tokens are translated to an
underscore (C<_>) when reading the first line of the CSV file, so all field
names are 'sanitized'. If you do not want this to happen, set C<raw_header>
to a true value and the entries in the first line of the CSV data will be
used verbatim for column headers and field names.  DBD::CSV cannot guarantee
that any part in the toolchain will work if field names have those characters,
and the chances are high that the SQL statements will fail.

=back

It's strongly recommended to check the attributes supported by
L<DBD::File/Metadata>.

Example: Suppose you want to use /etc/passwd as a CSV file. :-)
There simplest way is:

    use DBI;
    my $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:CSV:", undef, undef, {
	f_dir           => "/etc",
	csv_sep_char    => ":",
	csv_quote_char  => undef,
	csv_escape_char => undef,
	});
    $dbh->{csv_tables}{passwd} = {
	col_names => [qw( login password uid gid realname
			  directory shell )];
	};
    $sth = $dbh->prepare ("SELECT * FROM passwd");

Another possibility where you leave all the defaults as they are and
override them on a per table basis:

    require DBI;
    my $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:CSV:");
    $dbh->{csv_tables}{passwd} = {
	eol         => "\n",
	sep_char    => ":",
	quote_char  => undef,
	escape_char => undef,
	f_file      => "/etc/passwd",
	col_names   => [qw( login password uid gid
			    realname directory shell )],
	};
    $sth = $dbh->prepare ("SELECT * FROM passwd");

=head2 Driver private methods

These methods are inherited from DBD::File:

=over 4

=item data_sources
X<data_sources>

The C<data_sources> method returns a list of sub-directories of the current
directory in the form "dbi:CSV:directory=$dirname".

If you want to read the sub-directories of another directory, use

    my $drh  = DBI->install_driver ("CSV");
    my @list = $drh->data_sources (f_dir => "/usr/local/csv_data");

=item list_tables
X<list_tables>

This method returns a list of file-names inside $dbh->{directory}.
Example:

    my $dbh  = DBI->connect ("dbi:CSV:directory=/usr/local/csv_data");
    my @list = $dbh->func ("list_tables");

Note that the list includes all files contained in the directory, even
those that have non-valid table names, from the view of SQL. See
L<Creating and dropping tables> above.

=head1 KNOWN ISSUES

=over 4

=item *

The module is using flock () internally. However, this function is not
available on some platforms. Use of flock () is disabled on MacOS and
Windows 95: There's no locking at all (perhaps not so important on
these operating systems, as they are for single users anyways).

=head1 TODO

=item Tests
X<Tests>

Aim for a full 100% code coverage

 - eol      Make tests for different record separators.
 - csv_xs   Test with a variety of combinations for
	    sep_char, quote_char, and escape_char testing
 - quoting  $dbh->do ("drop table $_") for DBI-tables ();
 - errors   Make sure that all documented exceptions are tested.
	    . write to write-protected file
	    . read from badly formatted csv
	    . pass bad arguments to csv parser while fetching

Add tests that specifically test DBD::File functionality where
that is useful.
