          <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 &apos;SELECT FOR
              UPDATE&apos;, 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&apos;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&apos;t support dates for
              instance), but good enough for many purposes
              and very &apos;lightweight&apos;. 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
            &lt;https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=gnustep&gt;
            <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 &apos;make&apos; to configure and build the
              library, &apos;make install&apos; 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>&lt;SQLClient/SQLClient.h%gt;</code> and
              link your programs with the <code>SQLClient</code>
              library to use it.
            
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p>

            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.

            methods will call this method automatically for
            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&apos;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$SQLClient(Subclass)-backendExecute$">

            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&apos;t be used anywhere
            else... as soon as the client would be deallocated, it
            is returned to the pool.

    <p>

            All clients in the pool share the same cache object, so
            query results cached by one client will be available
            to other clients in the pool.

            An enhanced array to represent a record returned from a
            query. You should <em>NOT</em> try to create
            instances of this class except via the
            <a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLRecord+newWithValues$keys$count$">

    </p>
    <p>

            SQLRecord is the abstract base class of a class
            cluster. If you wish to subclass it you must
            implement the primitive methods
            <a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLRecord+newWithValues$keys$count$">
              +newWithValues:keys:count:
            </a>

            <a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLRecord-count">
              -count
            </a>

            <a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLRecord-keyAtIndex$">
              -keyAtIndex:
            </a>

            <a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLRecord-objectAtIndex$">
              -objectAtIndex:
            </a>

            and
            <a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLRecord-replaceObjectAtIndex$withObject$">
              -replaceObjectAtIndex:withObject:
            </a>

              </p>
    <p>
      
          
    </p>
    <p>

            NB. You do not need to use SQLRecord (or a subclass of
            it), all you actually need to supply is a class which
            responds to the
            <a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLRecord+newWithValues$keys$count$">
              +newWithValues:keys:count:
            </a>

            method that the system uses to create new records...
            none of the other methods of the SQLRecord class are
            used internally by the SQLClient system.

          The SQLTransaction transaction class provides a
          convenient mechanism for grouping together a
          series of SQL statements to be executed as a single
          transaction. It avoids the need for handling
          begin/commit, and should be as efficient as
          reasonably possible. <br /> You obtain an instance
          by calling
          
            [SQLClient -transaction]
          

          , add SQL statements to it using the
          <a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLTransaction-add$,...">
            -add:,...
          </a>

          and/or
          <a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLTransaction-add$with$">
            -add:with:

          methods, and then use the

            -execute
          </a>

          method to perform all the statements as a single
          operation. <br /> Any exception is caught and
          re-raised in the
          <a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLTransaction-execute">
            -execute
          </a>

          method after any tidying up to leave the database in a
          consistent state. <br /> NB. This class is not in
          itsself thread-safe, though the underlying database
          operations should be. If you have multiple
          threads, you should create multiple SQLTransaction
          instances, at least one per thread.

              This is similar to the

                -execute

    <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>

              If the transaction has had transactions appended to
              it, those subsidiary transactions may succeed or fail
              atomically depending on their individual
              attributes.

    <p>

                [SQLClient -batch:]
              

              , then calling this method is equivalent to calling the
              <a rel="gsdoc" href="#method$SQLTransaction-execute">
                -execute
              </a>

    <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&apos;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

                </p>
    <p>
      
            The method returns the number of statements which

              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 &apos;VALUES&apos; (for
            insert) or &apos;WHERE&apos; (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&apos;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:

                -lengthOfEscapedBLOB:

              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>

              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.

              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>.
