10 # this class doesn't have a common constructor, because all derived classes
11 # have their special requirements
12
14 SQL::Statement::Function is an abstract base class providing the
15 interface for all function executing terms.
16
18 SQL::Statement::Function
19 ISA SQL::Statement::Term
20
22 DESTROY
23 Destroys the term and undefines the weak reference to the owner as well
24 as the reference to the parameter list.
25
27 SQL::Statement::Function::UserFunc - implements executing a perl
28 subroutine
29
31 # create an user function term with an SQL::Statement object as owner,
32 # specifying the function name, the subroutine name (full qualified)
33 # and the parameters to the subroutine
34 my $term = SQL::Statement::Function::UserFunc->new( $owner, $name, $sub, \@params );
35 # access the result of that operation
36 $term->value( $eval );
37
39 SQL::Statement::Function::UserFunc implements a term which returns the
40 result of the specified subroutine.
41
43 SQL::Statement::Function
44 ISA SQL::Statement::Term
45
47 new
48 Instantiates a new "SQL::Statement::Function::UserFunc" instance.
49 value
51 Invokes the given subroutine with the values of the params and return
52 it's result:
53 my @params = map { $_->value($eval); } @{ $self->{PARAMS} };
55 return $subpkg->$subname( $self->{OWNER}, @params );
56
58 SQL::Statement::Function::NumericEval - implements numeric evaluation
59 of a term
60
62 # create an user function term with an SQL::Statement object as owner,
63 # specifying the expression to evaluate and the parameters to the subroutine
64 my $term = SQL::Statement::NumericEval->new( $owner, $expr, \@params );
65 # access the result of that operation
66 $term->value( $eval );
67
69 SQL::Statement::Function::NumericEval implements the numeric evaluation
70 of a term. All parameters are expected to be numeric.
71
73 SQL::Statement::Function::NumericEval
74 ISA SQL::Statement::Function
75 ISA SQL::Statement::Term
76
78 new
79 Instantiates a new "SQL::Statement::Function::NumericEval" instance.
80 Takes $owner, $expr and \@params as arguments (in specified order).
81 value
83 Returns the result of the evaluated expression.
84
86 SQL::Statement::Function::Trim - implements the built-in trim function
87 support
88
90 # create an trim function term with an SQL::Statement object as owner,
91 # specifying the spec, char and the parameters to the subroutine
92 my $term = SQL::Statement::Trim->new( $owner, $spec, $char, \@params );
93 # access the result of that operation
94 $term->value( $eval );
95
97 SQL::Statement::Function::Trim implements string trimming.
98
100 SQL::Statement::Function::Trim
101 ISA SQL::Statement::Function
102 ISA SQL::Statement::Term
103
105 new
106 Instantiates a new "SQL::Statement::Function::Trim" instance. Takes
107 $owner, $spec, $char and \@params as arguments (in specified order).
108 Meaning of the parameters:
110 $spec
112 Can be on of 'LEADING', 'TRAILING' 'BOTH'. Trims the leading chars,
113 trailing chars or at both ends, respectively.
114 Defaults to 'BOTH'.
116 $char
118 The character to trim - defaults to ' '
119 \@params
121 Expected to be an array with exact 1 element (more aren't
122 evaluated).
123 value
125 Returns the trimmed value of first parameter argument.
126
128 SQL::Statement::Function::SubString - implements the built-in
129 sub-string function support
130
132 # create an substr function term with an SQL::Statement object as owner,
133 # specifying the start and length of the sub string to extract from the
134 # first element of \@params
135 my $term = SQL::Statement::SubString->new( $owner, $start, $length, \@params );
136 # access the result of that operation
137 $term->value( $eval );
138
140 SQL::Statement::Function::SubString implements a sub-string extraction
141 term.
142
144 SQL::Statement::Function::SubString
145 ISA SQL::Statement::Function
146 ISA SQL::Statement::Term
147
149 new
150 Instantiates a new "SQL::Statement::Function::SubString" instance.
151 Takes $owner, $start, $length and \@params as arguments (in specified
152 order).
153 Meaning of the parameters:
155 $start
157 Specifies the start position to extract the sub-string. This is
158 expected to be a SQL::Statement::Term instance. The first character
159 in a string has the position 1.
160 $length
162 Specifies the length of the extracted sub-string. This is expected
163 to be a SQL::Statement::Term instance.
164 If omitted, everything to the end of the string is returned.
166 \@params
168 Expected to be an array with exact 1 element (more aren't
169 evaluated).
170 value
172 Returns the extracted sub-string value from first parameter argument.
173
175 SQL::Statement::Function::StrConcat - implements the built-in string
176 concatenation
177
179 # create an substr function term with an SQL::Statement object as owner
180 # and \@params to concatenate
181 my $term = SQL::Statement::StrConcat->new( $owner, \@params );
182 # access the result of that operation
183 $term->value( $eval );
184
186 SQL::Statement::Function::StrConcat implements a string concatenation
187 term.
188

193
195 new
196 Instantiates a new "SQL::Statement::Function::StrConcat" instance.
197 value
199 Returns the concatenated string composed of the parameter values.
