LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
dbd::excel
Excel(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Excel(3pm)
NAME
DBD::Excel - A class for DBI drivers that act on Excel File.
This is still alpha version.
SYNOPSIS
use DBI;
$hDb = DBI->connect("DBI:Excel:file=test.xls")
or die "Cannot connect: " . $DBI::errstr;
$hSt = $hDb->prepare("CREATE TABLE a (id INTEGER, name CHAR(10))")
or die "Cannot prepare: " . $hDb->errstr();
$hSt->execute() or die "Cannot execute: " . $hSt->errstr();
$hSt->finish();
$hDb->disconnect();
DESCRIPTION
This is still alpha version.
The DBD::Excel module is a DBI driver. The module is based on these modules:
* Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
reads Excel files.
* Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
writes Excel files.
* SQL::Statement
a simple SQL engine.
* DBI
Of course. :-)
This module assumes TABLE = Worksheet. The contents of first row of each worksheet as column name.
Adding that, this module accept temporary table definition at "connect" method with "xl_vtbl".
ex.
my $hDb = DBI->connect(
"DBI:Excel:file=dbdtest.xls", undef, undef,
{xl_vtbl =>
{TESTV =>
{
sheetName => 'TEST_V',
ttlRow => 5,
startCol => 1,
colCnt => 4,
datRow => 6,
datLmt => 4,
}
}
});
For more information please refer sample/tex.pl included in this distribution.
Metadata
The following attributes are handled by DBI itself and not by DBD::Excel, thus they all work like expected:
Active
ActiveKids
CachedKids
CompatMode (Not used)
InactiveDestroy
Kids
PrintError
RaiseError
Warn (Not used)
The following DBI attributes are handled by DBD::Excel:
AutoCommit
Always on
ChopBlanks
Works
NUM_OF_FIELDS
Valid after "$hSt->execute"
NUM_OF_PARAMS
Valid after "$hSt->prepare"
NAME
Valid after "$hSt->execute"; undef for Non-Select statements.
NULLABLE
Not really working, always returns an array ref of one's. Valid after "$hSt->execute"; undef for Non-Select statements.
These attributes and methods are not supported:
bind_param_inout
CursorName
LongReadLen
LongTruncOk
Additional to the DBI attributes, you can use the following dbh attribute:
xl_fmt
This attribute is used for setting the formatter class for parsing.
xl_dir
This attribute is used only with "data_sources" on setting the directory where Excel files ('*.xls') are searched. It defaults to the
current directory (".").
xl_vtbl
assumes specified area as a table. See sample/tex.pl.
xl_skiphidden
skip hidden rows(=row height is 0) and hidden columns(=column width is 0). See sample/thidden.pl.
xl_ignorecase
set casesensitive or not about table name and columns. Default is sensitive (maybe as SQL::Statement). See sample/thidden.pl.
Driver private methods
data_sources
The "data_sources" method returns a list of '*.xls' files of the current directory in the form "DBI:Excel:xl_dir=$dirname".
If you want to read the subdirectories of another directory, use
my($hDr) = DBI->install_driver("Excel");
my(@list) = $hDr->data_sources(
{ xl_dir => '/usr/local/xl_data' } );
list_tables
This method returns a list of sheet names contained in the $hDb->{file}. Example:
my $hDb = DBI->connect("DBI:Excel:file=test.xls");
my @list = $hDb->func('list_tables');
TODO
More tests
First of all...
Type and Format
The current version not support date/time and text formating.
Joins
The current version of the module works with single table SELECT's only, although the basic design of the SQL::Statement module allows
joins and the likes.
KNOWN BUGS
o There are too many TODO things. So I can't determind what is BUG. :-)
