=head1 NAME
Package WebGUI::Persistent::Query
=head1 DESCRIPTION
An abstract base class for objects that build queries, providing funtionality
for building the where clause. See WebGUI::Persistent::Query::Select for more
details.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use WebGUI::Persistent::Query;
our @ISA = qw(WebGUI::Persistent::Query);
sub buildQuery {
# build the query...
.
.
.
}
=head1 METHODS
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 buildQuery
Build the query from the properties. This method must be overridden by
subclasses
=cut
sub buildQuery {
WebGUI::ErrorHandler::fatalError("buildQuery() must be overridden");
}
;
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 buildWhere
Build the where clause for this query.
=cut
sub buildWhere {
my ($self) = @_;
my @clauses;
if (my $where = $self->parseWhereArgs(@{$self->{_where}})) {
return "WHERE $where";
}
return undef;
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 buildWhereElement( $name, @values )
Builds an element of a where clause.
=cut
sub buildWhereElement {
my ($self,$name,@vals) = @_;
@vals = @{$vals[0]} if ref($vals[0]);
return undef unless @vals;
return "$name = ".$self->quote($name,@vals) if (@vals == 1);
return "$name IN (".join(',',map {$self->quote($name,$_)} @vals).")";
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 new( %p )
=over
=item properties
A hashref of field name to a hash reference of property settings.
Currently used settings are:
=over
=item * quote
If true values for this field are automatically quoted.
=back
=item table
The name of the table to query.
=item where
A hash reference or array reference of arguments to build a where clause from.
See parseWhereArgs for details.
=back

#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 parseWhereArgs( @argumentList)
Recursivley parses a list of where arguments joining them with "AND" or "OR". Arguments
may take a number of forms:
=over
=item * scalar
("A = 1") is left unchanged.
=item * array reference
An array reference causes the joining argument to switch from 'AND' to 'OR'
(or visa-versa) for its contents:
([ "A = 1","C = 2" ])
becomes:
"(A = 1 OR C = 2)"
=item * hash reference
These are a convienent way of being able to dynamically build up complex
queries gradually.
({ A => 1 , C => 2 })
becomes:
"A = 1 AND C = 2"
=back
This routine is flexiable enough to be able to parse arguments of the form:
({A => [1,2]},[{B => 3,C => 4}],{D => 5})
becomes:
"A in (1,2) AND (B = 3 OR C = 4) AND D = 5"
=cut

push @where_parts,$part if $part;
}
return $self->_parsePart(\@where_parts,0,1);
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 quote( $propertyName, $propertyVaule )
Returns a quoted value for inclusion in a query, by refering to the properties
supplied to new().
=cut
sub quote {
my ($self,$propertyName,$propertyValue) = @_;
return 'NULL' unless defined($propertyValue);
if ($self->{_properties}{$propertyName}{quote}) {
return WebGUI::SQL::quote($propertyValue);
}
