DB_DataObject

An SQL Builder, Object Interface to Database Tables

DataObject performs 2 tasks: 1. Builds SQL statements based on the objects vars and the builder methods. 2. acts as a datastore for a table row. The core class is designed to be extended for each of your tables so that you put the data logic inside the data classes. included is a Generator to make your configuration files and your base classes. alan_k Alan Knowles alan@akbkhome.com lead 0.19 2003-05-22 PHP License stable - fix bug #23712 - deleting (and probably updating as well) an object while being fetched. (Michael McCarthy for spotting this) - fix generator overwriting code when file was edited in a Windows editor (Robert Janeczek) - validation will not produce errors on empty numeric data by default. - overload extension enabled to relay setFrom and toArray calls to get*, set* methods, which are predefined as getXXX = returns $object->XXX setXXX($V) = returns true (or an error string if you create your own) (only affects php-4.3.2RC2 or later..) - selectAs($dataobject,'prefix_%s') to help control the way join queries return their data * doing selectAs() - clears the select and sets it to table.id as id ... etc. - joinAdd has 2 extra optional arguments $dataObject->joinAdd($otherDataObject, $joinType, $joinAs) existing behaviour (INNER Joins) is default (eg. no value) $joinType can be: INNER,LEFT,RIGHT = eg. INNER JOIN ... etc. '' = just added with a , and the link conditions are added with a WHERE statement. $joinAs can be used to name the table differently in the join eg. SELECT .. FROM person INNER JOIN address as homeaddress ...... - setFrom has an extra optional parameter for formating: eg. $object->setFrom($_POST,'prefix_%s') would map prefix_name to $object->name the default is '%s' which is the same as the previous behaviour - added option dont_die (default no) to ini file default (no) means that DataObjects will emit a PEAR_ERROR_DIE on configuration and programming errors true or 1 means that you can write a PEAR::error handler to catch the errors and display a nice it's not working message DB Validate 0.18 2003-05-17 stable - add table prefix to autobuilt queries (assist in ambigous querys for joins) (Daniel Von Fange) - change update and delete to return the number of rows affected or false on failure - various code tidy ups - standards etc. (Arnaud Limbourg) - fix generator for postgres and mdb - use unique keys and look for 'nextval' as keys. - fix no key insert bug (G Moxley Kempster) - fix empty table bug in generator (Robert Janeczek) - staticAutoloadTable(), now handles parse errors in included files alot cleaner - added dependancies on PHP4.3, DB 1.3 and Validate (although Validate is optional) - added table prefix to count query (Richard Wallace) 0.17 2003-03-12 stable - Usual post feature bug fix release - fix loading of links.ini for joinAdd, getLinks etc. (Geoff Hopson) 0.16 2003-03-06 stable - replaced config storage - should improve performance - removed production option (not required due to improved config storage) - bugfix : added checks for is_array on ignore_sequence_keys (Hermen Heinen) - add toArray($format) which supports sprintf to enable easy integration with Quickforms etc. (Demian Turner) - add optional dataobject as variable to update(), so you can update will only create an update based on what has changed. (Geoff Hopson) - add join condition to count() (Daniel Von Fange) - modify limit() to work with postgresql and make it emit a fatal error if you try this on databases that do not directly support limit queries. (Geoff Hopson) * I'm open on better ideas for this - probably wrapping the find() select call 0.15 2003-02-13 stable - modified find(true), so that it calls fetch rather than fetchrow so that overriding fetch will affect get() calls. (probably depreciates fetchrow now .. shout if anyone is using it) - added escape method as a quasi quote wrapper into pear::DB - useful for building your own queries - eg. like requests.. (does not add quotes) - fixed bug with delete not using primary key if it was set. (Ian Eure) 0.14 2003-02-06 stable - added get affected rows to update/insert/delete they will return false if no data is affected and set the Objects lastError value. Note: databases that do not support affectedRows(), will always return false. 0.13 2003-01-23 stable - bug fix release - debug_ignore_updates worked in reverse.. (Alexander Mazurov) 0.12 2003-01-22 stable - Usual post release bug fix. - fixes *.links.ini incorrectly using *.links (Damian Turner) - Adds the ability to get PEAR Connection and result objects getDatabaseConnection() and getDatabaseResult() (jason rust) 0.11 2003-01-21 stable - changed connecition and result caching to use global private variable, rather than getStaticProperty - results objects are not stored on insert/update/delete (speed increase on large inserts can be as much as 10x faster) - bug fix - Checks that primary keys are integers (Anthony Juou) - typo on No data returned warning - unit tests in CVS - new configuration option for whether to use insert id's and sequences. - Generator no creates boolean bit (mitchell perilstein) 0.10 2002-12-09 stable - bug fix - Generator incorrectly set _database, causing generation of database.ini files to fail - change addslashes to PEAR::DB::quote() - generator now only replaces DB_DataObjects with extends variable if set, you can use generator_rewrite_class to set what is a valid replacement. 0.9 2002-12-06 stable - bug fix release - dsn was not set correctly 0.8 2002-09-21 stable - changed to stable status as it appears to be pretty stable now. - update and insert now return FALSE on error conditions (Peter Gebauer) which can be checked using === FALSE, and the error obtained using $object->_lastError - delete will only use primary keys if they are set, otherwise it will use all object variables to build the condition. (Daniel Ferreira) - Added derivedHookFunctions(), and derivedHookVar() to enable extensions to generator to make user defined methods. (Michael Lund Rasmussen) - support for INT4, BPCHAR, TIMESTAMPTZ and postres Primary keys (Xavier) - better PEAR CS complience (tabs and TRUE -> true), removed short open tags in generator (Thomas Volkmar Worm) - experimental addJoin method (Stijn de Reede) - Allow active options array (eg. dynamic changing of database config) (Sergey Lipnevich) 0.6 2002-09-10 beta - bug fix release on insert (broke due to compatibility fixes) 0.5 2002-09-07 beta - fixed database.links.ini file loading in wrong location (Jens Fischer) - fixed type on extends (Jens Fischer) - added __clone() support to pre- php5 classes - added multiple linked table support 0.4 2002-08-21 beta - Bug fix release - createTables used wrong argv 0.3 2002-08-16 beta - Fixed Globals requirement in createTables, 0.2 2002-07-12 beta Removed list method, First upload as pear package. - Documentation now in PEAR Manual 0.1 2002-06-25 beta PEARified
