NAME

Mojo::mysql - Mojolicious and Async MySQL

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::mysql;

# Create a table
my $mysql = Mojo::mysql->new('mysql://username@/test');
$mysql->db->do('create table if not exists names (name varchar(255))');

# Insert a few rows
my $db = $mysql->db;
$db->query('insert into names values (?)', 'Sara');
$db->query('insert into names values (?)', 'Daniel');

# Select all rows blocking
say for $db->query('select * from names')
  ->hashes->map(sub { $_->{name} })->each;

# Select all rows non-blocking
Mojo::IOLoop->delay(
  sub {
    my $delay = shift;
    $db->query('select * from names' => $delay->begin);
  },
  sub {
    my ($delay, $err, $results) = @_;
    say for $results->hashes->map(sub { $_->{name} })->each;
  }
)->wait;

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::mysql is a tiny wrapper around DBD::mysql that makes MySQL a lot of fun to use with the Mojolicious real-time web framework.

Database and statement handles are cached automatically, so they can be reused transparently to increase performance. While all I/O operations are performed blocking, you can wait for long running queries asynchronously, allowing the Mojo::IOLoop event loop to perform other tasks in the meantime. Since database connections usually have a very low latency, this often results in very good performance.

All cached database handles will be reset automatically if a new process has been forked, this allows multiple processes to share the same Mojo::mysql object safely.

Note that this whole distribution is EXPERIMENTAL and will change without warning!

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo::mysql implements the following attributes.

dsn

my $dsn = $mysql->dsn;
$mysql  = $mysql->dsn('dbi:mysql:dbname=foo');

Data Source Name, defaults to dbi:mysql:dbname=test.

max_connections

my $max = $mysql->max_connections;
$mysql  = $mysql->max_connections(3);

Maximum number of idle database handles to cache for future use, defaults to 5.

options

my $options = $mysql->options;
$mysql      = $mysql->options({AutoCommit => 1});

Options for database handles, defaults to activating AutoCommit as well as RaiseError and deactivating PrintError.

password

my $password = $mysql->password;
$mysql       = $mysql->password('s3cret');

Database password, defaults to an empty string.

username

my $username = $mysql->username;
$mysql       = $mysql->username('batman');

Database username, defaults to an empty string.

METHODS

Mojo::mysql inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.

db

my $db = $mysql->db;

Get Mojo::mysql::Database object for a cached or newly created database handle. The database handle will be automatically cached again when that object is destroyed, so you can handle connection timeouts gracefully by holding on to it only for short amounts of time.

from_string

$mysql = $mysql->from_string('mysql://user@/test');

Parse configuration from connection string.

# Just a database
$mysql->from_string('mysql:///db1');

# Username and database
$mysql->from_string('mysql://batman@/db2');

# Username, password, host and database
$mysql->from_string('mysql://batman:s3cret@localhost/db3');

# Username, domain socket and database
$mysql->from_string('mysql://batman@%2ftmp%2fmysql.sock/db4');

# Username, database and additional options
$mysql->from_string('mysql://batman@/db5?PrintError=1&RaiseError=0');

new

my $mysql = Mojo::mysql->new;
my $mysql = Mojo::mysql->new('mysql://user@/test');

Construct a new Mojo::mysql object and parse connection string with "from_string" if necessary.
