I'm pretty new to the database world and I've run into a mental block of sorts. I've been unable to find the answer anywhere. Here's my problem: I have several tables and everything is as normalized as possible (as I've been lead to understand normalization.) Normalization has lead to some challenges though. Namely, how do I do an effective INSERT? So, let's say I have tbl_Customers, tbl_Addresses, tbl_States and tbl_Cities. Now if I want to add a new customer, with their own address and everything, I'll have to check tbl_States and tbl_Cities to see if the state and city already exist. If they do then set the FK in tbl_Address with them, otherwise do INSERTS on tbl_States and tbl_Cities. I could do all this in Perl but it's horribly ugly, inefficient and just feels wrong. From what I've read/heard though, I should be able to create a sotred function where I can just CALL AddCustomer(FName, LName, Street, City, State) and it would handle all that in the background. Any suggestions? Obviously the solution will onvolve multiple INSERTs but I know there has to be a better way than what I'm doing. Here's some of what I've come up with so far but without any luck.
Hi!

Hi everyone,

I want to check for rows in a table where all values (except the key) is empty. I am using MySQL 5.5.
I plan to do this mechanically, so the approach should work for any table in my database schema.

sql::translator::filter::globals
SQL::Translator::Filter::Globals(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation SQL::Translator::Filter::Globals(3pm)NAME
SQL::Translator::Filter::Globals - Add global fields and indices to all tables.
SYNOPSIS
# e.g. Add timestamp field to all tables.
use SQL::Translator;
my $sqlt = SQL::Translator->new(
from => 'MySQL',
to => 'MySQL',
filters => [
Globals => {
fields => [
{
name => 'modified'
data_type => 'TIMESTAMP'
}
],
indices => [
{
fields => 'modifed',
},
]
constraints => [
{
}
]
},
],
) || die "SQLFairy error : ".SQL::Translator->error;
my $sql = $sqlt->translate || die "SQLFairy error : ".$sqlt->error;
DESCRIPTION
Adds global fields, indices and constraints to all tables in the schema. The globals to add can either be defined in the filter args or
using a _GLOBAL_ table (see below).
If a table already contains a field with the same name as a global then it is skipped for that table.
The _GLOBAL_ Table
An alternative to using the args is to add a table called "_GLOBAL_" to the schema and then just use the filter. Any fields and indices
defined on this table will be added to all the tables in the schema and the _GLOBAL_ table removed.
The name of the global can be changed using a "global_table" arg to the filter.
SEE ALSO perl(1), SQL::Translator
BUGS
Will generate duplicate indices if an index already exists on a table the same as one added globally.
Will generate duplicate constraints if a constraint already exists on a table the same as one added globally.
TODO
Some extra data values that can be used to control the global addition. e.g. 'skip_global'.
