1
+ = DBD Specification Version 0.4.0
2
+ By Erik Hollensbe <erik@hollensbe.org>
3
+
4
+ == FOREWORD
5
+
6
+ DBI is still in a large state of flux. Previous versions of this
7
+ specification rarely reflected reality, and the 0.4.0 release is an
8
+ attempt to get the code and documentation in touch with each other to
9
+ better reflect said reality.
10
+
11
+ While this is a goal, nobody's perfect and there is still a lot of
12
+ code to check, sanitize, and otherwise clean up. If you find something
13
+ missing in these specifications while working on a new DBD or a patch
14
+ for DBI, please, do not do what everything else is doing; alert the
15
+ appropriate person to get the spec revised. Doing this will save
16
+ yourself (and the DBI authors) infinite amounts of time.
17
+
18
+ == WHAT A DBD IS
19
+
20
+ DBD stands for "DataBase Driver" and is the layer that DBI uses to interface
21
+ with the database. DBDs often employ a low level driver to do the real work
22
+ with the database, leaving the DBD itself to act as a medium between DBI and
23
+ that lower level API.
24
+
25
+ This allows a great deal of flexibility without having to sacrifice features
26
+ for compatibility. For example, instead of having one PostgreSQL DBD that
27
+ handles all version of PostgreSQL and attempts to limit it's functionality
28
+ based on what version it detects (a error-prone and time/design prohibitive
29
+ process), one can write two PostgreSQL DBD that handle the differences between
30
+ "new" and "old" postgres, all while talking to the same low-level driver (yet
31
+ leveraging different functionality). This method leads to cleaner internals and
32
+ puts the choice of which to use on the end-user, who is probably a lot more
33
+ informed about what features they want than your code.
34
+
35
+ One traditionally loads a DBD using the DBI.connect method (see DBD LOAD
36
+ PATHS below) which will attempt to load the DBD, connect to the database with
37
+ the arguments supplied and return a DatabaseHandle if successful. However, if
38
+ the DBD is written properly, requiring it directly without DBI's involvement
39
+ (or existence) should not be an issue.
40
+
41
+ == WHERE DBDs LIVE
42
+
43
+ DBDs have an expected require path to be loaded by DBI. DBI will attempt to
44
+ load the middle portion of the DBI.connect DSN provided.
45
+
46
+ Example: DBI.connect("dbi:Mysql:mydb") # requires 'dbd/Mysql'
47
+
48
+ Since rubygems potentially renders this path virtual, it is not OK to expect
49
+ this path physically exists in one spot on the filesystem. Many assuptions are
50
+ currently made about this and will be pruned in 0.6.0.
51
+
52
+ If you wish to create submodules for your DBD, create a directory in the 'dbd'
53
+ directory named the same as the DBD. (E.g., "dbd/Mysql" would have a directory
54
+ with files in it relating to the Mysql.rb file that DBI loads).
55
+
56
+ == HOW DBI INTERFACES WITH YOUR DBD
57
+
58
+ Your DBD will create classes representing a DBI::BaseDriver, DBI::BaseDatabase,
59
+ and DBI::BaseStatement. DBI will link these to DBI::DriverHandle,
60
+ DBI::DatabaseHandle, and DBI::StatementHandle respectively. Your classes will
61
+ be called by the Handle classes to retreive information to manipulate and send
62
+ to the user. This manipulation can be influenced in a number of ways.
63
+
64
+ It is strongly recommended you make the effort to read the RDoc for all six
65
+ of these classes, as they are the meat of this specification, not this
66
+ document.
67
+
68
+ == BUILDING A DBD FROM SCRATCH
69
+
70
+ For the purposes of this discussion, we'll call your driver 'Foo'.
71
+
72
+ Create your module, DBI::DBD::Foo. Store it somewhere in your load path under
73
+ dbd/Foo.rb.
74
+
75
+ Create classes Driver, Database, and Statement in this new namespace, which
76
+ inherit from DBI::BaseDriver, DBI::BaseDatabase, and DBI::BaseStatement.
77
+ Override (at mininum) the methods that return NotImplementedError in your new
78
+ classes.
79
+
80
+ Create a method in the root namespace named +driver_name+. This should return a
81
+ string with a short name for your driver, this key will be used in type
82
+ conversion.
83
+
84
+ Everything else is up to you, up to and including worrying about interacting
85
+ with the database.
86
+
87
+ At this point, you should be ready to test your driver. See test/DBD_TESTS for
88
+ information on how to configure that.

1
+ = DBI Interface Spec, for version 0.4.0
2
+

+ by Erik Hollensbe <erik@hollensbe.org>

+
5
+ == Foreword
6
+
7
+ DBI is still in a large state of flux. Previous versions of this
8
+ specification rarely reflected reality, and the 0.4.0 release is an
9
+ attempt to get the code and documentation more in sync.
10
+
11
+ While this is the goal, there is still a lot of
12
+ code to check, sanitize, and otherwise clean up. If you find something
13
+ missing in these specifications while working on a new DBD or a patch
14
+ for DBI, please bring it to our attention (in IRC or on the mailing list)
15
+ to get the spec revised. Doing this will save
16
+ yourself (and the DBI authors) a lot of time.
17
+
18
+ == Design
19
+
20
+ With DBI, there are the concepts of driver, database, and statement. The core
21
+ functionality for these concepts is provided by a database driver, or
22
+ DBD. DBI controls one or more drivers at once, a driver has databases, a
23
+ database may have statements.
24
+
25
+ DBI uses a delegation model to communicate with its DBDs through a
26
+ series of handles. When a connection to a database is requested, DBI contacts
27
+ the appropriate DBD and builds a handle in
28
+ its name that it aligns with a DBI base class for that concept. The
29
+ handle provided by the DBD is the first-class method of communication,
30
+ otherwise it resorts to calling the base class methods. This allows
31
+ DBI to provide a level of consistency unless the DBD author finds it
32
+ otherwise unnecessary.
33
+
34
+ For example: DBI will provide handy methods like fetch_all and
35
+ fetch_scroll which all leverage the fetch method in the base class,
36
+ and the fetch method must be implemented by the DBD. However, the DBD
37
+ may have an internal representation of fetch_scroll (as is the case
38
+ with the ODBC driver) that may be more suited to direct use, and
39
+ therefore DBI will never see the base class method. This is similar to
40
+ inheritance, but there is a distinct disconnect between the handles
41
+ and the base classes, intentionally so. This way the DBDs have no
42
+ access to the base class and DBI does all the delegation work. Also,
43
+ DBI has no idea what the DBD is doing underneath, nor does it need to
44
+ care as long as valid data is returned.
45
+
46
+ == Classes
47
+
48
+ These are the classes that make up the core of DBI and provide
49
+ various functionality:
50
+
51
+ === DBI
52
+ Core module, responsible for everything underneath it, kickstarting
53
+ connections and loading drivers.
54
+
55
+ === DBI::Row
56
+
57
+ Responsible for representing the result set and managing the type
58
+ conversion of the result set.
59
+
60
+ === DBI::Utils
61
+
62
+ Utility methods which propogate through the rest of DBI.
63
+
64
+ === DBI::SQL
65
+
66
+ Utility methods for working with SQL queries. Includes a
67
+ driver-independent SQL bind manager.
68
+
69
+ === DBI::ColumnInfo
70
+
71
+ Responsible for representing the information per column for both
72
+ queries and table descriptions.
73
+
74
+ === DBI::Type
75
+
76
+ Namespace for typecasting classes. These classes are provided with a
77
+ parse method which converts them to a native Ruby type from a string.
78
+
79
+ === DBI::TypeUtil
80
+
81
+ The inverse of DBI::Type, this provides functionality to turn native
82
+ Ruby types into a representation suitable for the DBD's queries.
83
+
84
+ === DBI::Binary
85
+
86
+ The representation of a BLOB/CLOB in a Ruby object. This will
87
+ eventually be rolled into DBI::Type::, but remains here currently for
88
+ compatibility purposes.
89
+
90
+ === DBI::Base* and DBI::*Handle
91
+
92
+ Please see the Design section above for the description of these modules.
93
+
94
+ == Exceptions
95
+
96
+ DBI has a slew of custom exceptions it uses to control program flow,
97
+ and alert the user to specific classes of problems.
98
+
99
+ They currently all live in the DBI namespace, although it's expected
100
+ that there will eventually be an exception namespace.
101
+
102
+ === DBI::Warning < RuntimeError
103
+ For important warnings such as data truncation, etc.
104
+
105
+ === DBI::Error < RuntimeError
106
+ Base class of all other error exceptions.
107
+ Rescue this to rescue all DBI errors.
108
+
109
+ === DBI::InterfaceError < DBI::Error
110
+ Exception for errors related to the DBI interface rather
111
+ than the database itself.
112
+
113
+ === DBI::NotImplementedError < DBI::InterfaceError
114
+ Exception raised if the DBD driver has not specified
115
+ a mandatory method.
116
+
117
+ === DBI::DatabaseError < DBI::Error
118
+ Exception for errors related to the database.
119
+
120
+ Has three attributes: ((|err|)), ((|errstr|)) and ((|state|)).
121
+
122
+ === DBI::DataError < DBI::DatabaseError
123
+ Exception for errors due to problems with the processed
124
+ data, such as division by zero, numeric value out of range, etc.
125
+
126
+ === DBI::OperationalError < DBI::DatabaseError
127
+ Exception for errors related to the database's operation which
128
+ are not necessarily under the control of the programmer. This would include
129
+ such things as unexpected disconnection, failure to find a datasource name,
130
+ failure to process a transaction, memory allocation errors, etc.
131
+
132
+ === DBI::IntegrityError < DBI::DatabaseError
133
+ Exception raised when the relational integrity of the database
134
+ is affected, such as when a foreign key constraint is violated.
135
+
136
+ === DBI::InternalError < DBI::DatabaseError
137
+ Exception raised when the database encounters an internal error,
138
+ such as a cursor not being valid anymore, or a transaction going out of
139
+ sync.
140
+
141
+ === DBI::ProgrammingError < DBI::DatabaseError
142
+ Exception raised for programming errors, e.g., table not found
143
+ or already exists, syntax error in SQL statement, wrong number
144
+ of parameters specified, etc.
145
+
146
+ === DBI::NotSupportedError < DBI::DatabaseError
147
+ Raised if, e.g., ((<commit>)) is called for a database that does not
148
+ support transactions.
149
+
150
+ == API
151
+
152
+ To save my sanity, I have joined the specification and the rdoc for
153
+ DBI. Please review the specification there.
154
+
155
+ If you wish to author your own DBD, please see DBD_SPEC.rdoc,
156
+ which is a more in-depth view of the communication between DBI and
157
+ DBDs.
