In other words: DBD::mysql is an interface between the Perl programming language and the MySQL programming API that comes with the MySQL relational database management system. Most functions provided by this programming API are supported. Some rarely used functions are missing, mainly because no-one ever requested them. :-) In what follows we first discuss the use of DBD::mysql, because this is what you will need the most. For installation, see the separate document L. See L for a simple example above. From perl you activate the interface with the statement use DBI; After that you can connect to multiple MySQL database servers and send multiple queries to any of them via a simple object oriented interface. Two types of objects are available: database handles and statement handles. Perl returns a database handle to the connect method like so: $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=$db;host=$host", $user, $password, {RaiseError => 1}); Once you have connected to a database, you can execute SQL statements with: my $query = sprintf("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (%d, %s)", $number, $dbh->quote("name")); $dbh->do($query); See L for details on the quote and do methods. An alternative approach is $dbh->do("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (?, ?)", undef, $number, $name); in which case the quote method is executed automatically. See also the bind_param method in L. See L below for more details on database handles. If you want to retrieve results, you need to create a so-called statement handle with: $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM $table"); $sth->execute(); This statement handle can be used for multiple things. First of all you can retrieve a row of data: my $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref(); If your table has columns ID and NAME, then $row will be hash ref with keys ID and NAME. See L below for more details on statement handles. But now for a more formal approach: =head2 Class Methods =over =item B use DBI; $dsn = "DBI:mysql:$database"; $dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=$database;host=$hostname"; $dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=$database;host=$hostname;port=$port"; $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password); The C is not a required attribute, but please note that MySQL has no such thing as a default database. If you don't specify the database at connection time your active database will be null and you'd need to prefix your tables with the database name; i.e. 'SELECT * FROM mydb.mytable'. This is similar to the behavior of the mysql command line client. Also, 'SELECT DATABASE()' will return the current database active for the handle. =over =item host =item port The hostname, if not specified or specified as '' or 'localhost', will default to a MySQL server running on the local machine using the default for the UNIX socket. To connect to a MySQL server on the local machine via TCP, you must specify the loopback IP address (127.0.0.1) as the host. Should the MySQL server be running on a non-standard port number, you may explicitly state the port number to connect to in the C argument, by concatenating the I and I together separated by a colon ( C<:> ) character or by using the C argument. To connect to a MySQL server on localhost using TCP/IP, you must specify the hostname as 127.0.0.1 (with the optional port). When connecting to a MySQL Server with IPv6, a bracketed IPv6 address should be used. Example DSN: my $dsn = "DBI:mysql:;host=[1a12:2800:6f2:85::f20:8cf];port=3306"; =item mysql_client_found_rows Enables (TRUE value) or disables (FALSE value) the flag CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS while connecting to the MySQL server. This has a somewhat funny effect: Without mysql_client_found_rows, if you perform a query like UPDATE $table SET id = 1 WHERE id = 1; then the MySQL engine will always return 0, because no rows have changed. With mysql_client_found_rows however, it will return the number of rows that have an id 1, as some people are expecting. (At least for compatibility to other engines.) =item mysql_compression If your DSN contains the option "mysql_compression=1", then the communication between client and server will be compressed. =item mysql_connect_timeout If your DSN contains the option "mysql_connect_timeout=##", the connect request to the server will timeout if it has not been successful after the given number of seconds. =item mysql_write_timeout If your DSN contains the option "mysql_write_timeout=##", the write operation to the server will timeout if it has not been successful after the given number of seconds. =item mysql_read_timeout If your DSN contains the option "mysql_read_timeout=##", the read operation to the server will timeout if it has not been successful after the given number of seconds. =item mysql_init_command If your DSN contains the option "mysql_init_command=##", then this SQL statement is executed when connecting to the MySQL server. It is automatically re-executed if reconnection occurs. =item mysql_skip_secure_auth This option is for older mysql databases that don't have secure auth set. =item mysql_read_default_file =item mysql_read_default_group These options can be used to read a config file like /etc/my.cnf or ~/.my.cnf. By default MySQL's C client library doesn't use any config files unlike the client programs (mysql, mysqladmin, ...) that do, but outside of the C client library. Thus you need to explicitly request reading a config file, as in $dsn = "DBI:mysql:test;mysql_read_default_file=/home/joe/my.cnf"; $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password) The option mysql_read_default_group can be used to specify the default group in the config file: Usually this is the I group, but see the following example: [client] host=localhost [perl] host=perlhost (Note the order of the entries! The example won't work, if you reverse the [client] and [perl] sections!) If you read this config file, then you'll be typically connected to I. However, by using $dsn = "DBI:mysql:test;mysql_read_default_group=perl;" . "mysql_read_default_file=/home/joe/my.cnf"; $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password); you'll be connected to I. Note that if you specify a default group and do not specify a file, then the default config files will all be read. See the documentation of the C function mysql_options() for details. =item mysql_socket It is possible to choose the Unix socket that is used for connecting to the server. This is done, for example, with mysql_socket=/dev/mysql Usually there's no need for this option, unless you are using another location for the socket than that built into the client. =item mysql_ssl A true value turns on the CLIENT_SSL flag when connecting to the MySQL server and enforce SSL encryption. A false value (which is default) disable SSL encryption with the MySQL server. When enabling SSL encryption you should set also other SSL options, at least mysql_ssl_ca_file or mysql_ssl_ca_path. mysql_ssl=1 mysql_ssl_verify_server_cert=1 mysql_ssl_ca_file=/path/to/ca_cert.pem This means that your communication with the server will be encrypted. Please note that this can only work if you enabled SSL when compiling DBD::mysql; this is the default starting version 4.034. See L for more details. =item mysql_ssl_ca_file The path to a file in PEM format that contains a list of trusted SSL certificate authorities. When set MySQL server certificate is checked that it is signed by some CA certificate in the list. Common Name value is not verified unless C is enabled. =item mysql_ssl_ca_path The path to a directory that contains trusted SSL certificate authority certificates in PEM format. When set MySQL server certificate is checked that it is signed by some CA certificate in the list. Common Name value is not verified unless C is enabled. Please note that this option is supported only if your MySQL client was compiled with OpenSSL library, and not with default yaSSL library. =item mysql_ssl_verify_server_cert Checks the server's Common Name value in the certificate that the server sends to the client. The client verifies that name against the host name the client uses for connecting to the server, and the connection fails if there is a mismatch. For encrypted connections, this option helps prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. Verification of the host name is disabled by default. =item mysql_ssl_client_key The name of the SSL key file in PEM format to use for establishing a secure connection. =item mysql_ssl_client_cert The name of the SSL certificate file in PEM format to use for establishing a secure connection. =item mysql_ssl_cipher A list of permissible ciphers to use for connection encryption. If no cipher in the list is supported, encrypted connections will not work. mysql_ssl_cipher=AES128-SHA mysql_ssl_cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:AES128-SHA =item mysql_ssl_optional Setting C to true disables strict SSL enforcement and makes SSL connection optional. This option opens security hole for man-in-the-middle attacks. Default value is false which means that C set to true enforce SSL encryption. This option was introduced in 4.043 version of DBD::mysql. Due to L and L vulnerabilities in libmysqlclient library, enforcement of SSL encryption was not possbile and therefore C was effectively set for all DBD::mysql versions prior to 4.043. Starting with 4.043, DBD::mysql with C could refuse connection to MySQL server if underlaying libmysqlclient library is vulnerable. Option C can be used to make SSL connection vulnerable. =item mysql_server_pubkey Path to the RSA public key of the server. This is used for the sha256_password and caching_sha2_password authentication plugins. =item mysql_get_server_pubkey Setting C to true requests the public RSA key of the server. =item mysql_local_infile The LOCAL capability for LOAD DATA may be disabled in the MySQL client library by default. If your DSN contains the option "mysql_local_infile=1", LOAD DATA LOCAL will be enabled. (However, this option is *ineffective* if the server has also been configured to disallow LOCAL.) =item mysql_multi_statements Support for multiple statements separated by a semicolon (;) may be enabled by using this option. Enabling this option may cause problems if server-side prepared statements are also enabled. =item mysql_server_prepare This option is used to enable server side prepared statements. To use server side prepared statements, all you need to do is set the variable mysql_server_prepare in the connect: $dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:mysql:database=test;host=localhost;mysql_server_prepare=1", "", "", { RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 1 } ); or: $dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:mysql:database=test;host=localhost", "", "", { RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 1, mysql_server_prepare => 1 } ); There are many benefits to using server side prepare statements, mostly if you are performing many inserts because of that fact that a single statement is prepared to accept multiple insert values. To make sure that the 'make test' step tests whether server prepare works, you just need to export the env variable MYSQL_SERVER_PREPARE: export MYSQL_SERVER_PREPARE=1 Please note that mysql server cannot prepare or execute some prepared statements. In this case DBD::mysql fallbacks to normal non-prepared statement and tries again. =item mysql_server_prepare_disable_fallback This option disable fallback to normal non-prepared statement when mysql server does not support execution of current statement as prepared. Useful when you want to be sure that statement is going to be executed as server side prepared. Error message and code in case of failure is propagated back to DBI. =item mysql_embedded_options The option can be used to pass 'command-line' options to embedded server. Example: use DBI; $testdsn="DBI:mysqlEmb:database=test;mysql_embedded_options=--help,--verbose"; $dbh = DBI->connect($testdsn,"a","b"); This would cause the command line help to the embedded MySQL server library to be printed. =item mysql_embedded_groups The option can be used to specify the groups in the config file(I) which will be used to get options for embedded server. If not specified [server] and [embedded] groups will be used. Example: $testdsn="DBI:mysqlEmb:database=test;mysql_embedded_groups=embedded_server,common"; =item mysql_conn_attrs The option is a hash of attribute names and values which can be used to send custom connection attributes to the server. Some attributes like '_os', '_platform', '_client_name' and '_client_version' are added by libmysqlclient and 'program_name' is added by DBD::mysql. You can then later read these attributes from the performance schema tables which can be quite helpful for profiling your database or creating statistics. You'll have to use a MySQL 5.6 server and libmysqlclient or newer to leverage this feature. my $dbh= DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password, { AutoCommit => 0, mysql_conn_attrs => { foo => 'bar', wiz => 'bang' }, }); Now you can select the results from the performance schema tables. You can do this in the same session, but also afterwards. It can be very useful to answer questions like 'which script sent this query?'. my $results = $dbh->selectall_hashref( 'SELECT * FROM performance_schema.session_connect_attrs', 'ATTR_NAME' ); This returns: $result = { 'foo' => { 'ATTR_VALUE' => 'bar', 'PROCESSLIST_ID' => '3', 'ATTR_NAME' => 'foo', 'ORDINAL_POSITION' => '6' }, 'wiz' => { 'ATTR_VALUE' => 'bang', 'PROCESSLIST_ID' => '3', 'ATTR_NAME' => 'wiz', 'ORDINAL_POSITION' => '3' }, 'program_name' => { 'ATTR_VALUE' => './foo.pl', 'PROCESSLIST_ID' => '3', 'ATTR_NAME' => 'program_name', 'ORDINAL_POSITION' => '5' }, '_client_name' => { 'ATTR_VALUE' => 'libmysql', 'PROCESSLIST_ID' => '3', 'ATTR_NAME' => '_client_name', 'ORDINAL_POSITION' => '1' }, '_client_version' => { 'ATTR_VALUE' => '5.6.24', 'PROCESSLIST_ID' => '3', 'ATTR_NAME' => '_client_version', 'ORDINAL_POSITION' => '7' }, '_os' => { 'ATTR_VALUE' => 'osx10.8', 'PROCESSLIST_ID' => '3', 'ATTR_NAME' => '_os', 'ORDINAL_POSITION' => '0' }, '_pid' => { 'ATTR_VALUE' => '59860', 'PROCESSLIST_ID' => '3', 'ATTR_NAME' => '_pid', 'ORDINAL_POSITION' => '2' }, '_platform' => { 'ATTR_VALUE' => 'x86_64', 'PROCESSLIST_ID' => '3', 'ATTR_NAME' => '_platform', 'ORDINAL_POSITION' => '4' } }; =back =back =head2 Private MetaData Methods =over =item B my $drh = DBI->install_driver("mysql"); @dbs = $drh->func("$hostname:$port", '_ListDBs'); @dbs = $drh->func($hostname, $port, '_ListDBs'); @dbs = $dbh->func('_ListDBs'); Returns a list of all databases managed by the MySQL server running on C<$hostname>, port C<$port>. This is a legacy method. Instead, you should use the portable method @dbs = DBI->data_sources("mysql"); =back =head1 DATABASE HANDLES The DBD::mysql driver supports the following attributes of database handles (read only): $errno = $dbh->{'mysql_errno'}; $error = $dbh->{'mysql_error'}; $info = $dbh->{'mysql_hostinfo'}; $info = $dbh->{'mysql_info'}; $insertid = $dbh->{'mysql_insertid'}; $info = $dbh->{'mysql_protoinfo'}; $info = $dbh->{'mysql_serverinfo'}; $info = $dbh->{'mysql_stat'}; $threadId = $dbh->{'mysql_thread_id'}; These correspond to mysql_errno(), mysql_error(), mysql_get_host_info(), mysql_info(), mysql_insert_id(), mysql_get_proto_info(), mysql_get_server_info(), mysql_stat() and mysql_thread_id(), respectively. =over 2 =item mysql_clientinfo List information of the MySQL client library that DBD::mysql was built against: print "$dbh->{mysql_clientinfo}\n"; 5.2.0-MariaDB =item mysql_clientversion print "$dbh->{mysql_clientversion}\n"; 50200 =item mysql_serverversion print "$dbh->{mysql_serverversion}\n"; 50200 =item mysql_dbd_stats $info_hashref = $dbh->{mysql_dbd_stats}; DBD::mysql keeps track of some statistics in the mysql_dbd_stats attribute. The following stats are being maintained: =over 8 =item auto_reconnects_ok The number of times that DBD::mysql successfully reconnected to the mysql server. =item auto_reconnects_failed The number of times that DBD::mysql tried to reconnect to mysql but failed. =back =back The DBD::mysql driver also supports the following attributes of database handles (read/write): =over =item mysql_auto_reconnect This attribute determines whether DBD::mysql will automatically reconnect to mysql if the connection be lost. This feature defaults to off; however, if either the GATEWAY_INTERFACE or MOD_PERL environment variable is set, DBD::mysql will turn mysql_auto_reconnect on. Setting mysql_auto_reconnect to on is not advised if 'lock tables' is used because if DBD::mysql reconnect to mysql all table locks will be lost. This attribute is ignored when AutoCommit is turned off, and when AutoCommit is turned off, DBD::mysql will not automatically reconnect to the server. It is also possible to set the default value of the C attribute for the $dbh by passing it in the C<\%attr> hash for Cconnect>. $dbh->{mysql_auto_reconnect} = 1; or my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password, { mysql_auto_reconnect => 1, }); Note that if you are using a module or framework that performs reconnections for you (for example L in fixup mode), this value must be set to 0. =item mysql_use_result This attribute forces the driver to use mysql_use_result rather than mysql_store_result. The former is faster and less memory consuming, but tends to block other processes. mysql_store_result is the default due to that fact storing the result is expected behavior with most applications. It is possible to set the default value of the C attribute for the $dbh via the DSN: $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:test;mysql_use_result=1", "root", ""); You can also set it after creation of the database handle: $dbh->{mysql_use_result} = 0; # disable $dbh->{mysql_use_result} = 1; # enable You can also set or unset the C setting on your statement handle, when creating the statement handle or after it has been created. See L. =item mysql_enable_utf8 This attribute determines whether DBD::mysql should assume strings stored in the database are utf8. This feature defaults to off. When set, a data retrieved from a textual column type (char, varchar, etc) will have the UTF-8 flag turned on if necessary. This enables character semantics on that string. You will also need to ensure that your database / table / column is configured to use UTF8. See for more information the chapter on character set support in the MySQL manual: L Additionally, turning on this flag tells MySQL that incoming data should be treated as UTF-8. This will only take effect if used as part of the call to connect(). If you turn the flag on after connecting, you will need to issue the command C to get the same effect. =item mysql_enable_utf8mb4 This is similar to mysql_enable_utf8, but is capable of handling 4-byte UTF-8 characters. =item mysql_bind_type_guessing This attribute causes the driver (emulated prepare statements) to attempt to guess if a value being bound is a numeric value, and if so, doesn't quote the value. This was created by Dragonchild and is one way to deal with the performance issue of using quotes in a statement that is inserting or updating a large numeric value. This was previously called C because it is experimental. I have successfully run the full test suite with this option turned on, the name can now be simply C. CAVEAT: Even though you can insert an integer value into a character column, if this column is indexed, if you query that column with the integer value not being quoted, it will not use the index: MariaDB [test]> explain select * from test where value0 = '3' \G *************************** 1. row *************************** id: 1 select_type: SIMPLE table: test type: ref possible_keys: value0 key: value0 key_len: 13 ref: const rows: 1 Extra: Using index condition 1 row in set (0.00 sec) MariaDB [test]> explain select * from test where value0 = 3 -> \G *************************** 1. row *************************** id: 1 select_type: SIMPLE table: test type: ALL possible_keys: value0 key: NULL key_len: NULL ref: NULL rows: 6 Extra: Using where 1 row in set (0.00 sec) See bug: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=43822 C can be turned on via - through DSN my $dbh= DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:test', 'username', 'pass', { mysql_bind_type_guessing => 1}) - OR after handle creation $dbh->{mysql_bind_type_guessing} = 1; =item mysql_bind_comment_placeholders This attribute causes the driver (emulated prepare statements) will cause any placeholders in comments to be bound. This is not correct prepared statement behavior, but some developers have come to depend on this behavior, so I have made it available in 4.015 =item mysql_no_autocommit_cmd This attribute causes the driver to not issue 'set autocommit' either through explicit or using mysql_autocommit(). This is particularly useful in the case of using MySQL Proxy. See the bug report: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=46308 C can be turned on when creating the database handle: my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:test', 'username', 'pass', { mysql_no_autocommit_cmd => 1}); or using an existing database handle: $dbh->{mysql_no_autocommit_cmd} = 1; =item ping This can be used to send a ping to the server. $rc = $dbh->ping(); =back =head1 STATEMENT HANDLES The statement handles of DBD::mysql support a number of attributes. You access these by using, for example, my $numFields = $sth->{NUM_OF_FIELDS}; Note, that most attributes are valid only after a successful I. An C value will returned otherwise. The most important exception is the C attribute, which forces the driver to use mysql_use_result rather than mysql_store_result. The former is faster and less memory consuming, but tends to block other processes. (That's why mysql_store_result is the default.) To set the C attribute, use either of the following: my $sth = $dbh->prepare("QUERY", { mysql_use_result => 1}); or my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql); $sth->{mysql_use_result} = 1; Column dependent attributes, for example I, the column names, are returned as a reference to an array. The array indices are corresponding to the indices of the arrays returned by I and similar methods. For example the following code will print a header of table names together with all rows: my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM $table") || die "Error:" . $dbh->errstr . "\n"; $sth->execute || die "Error:" . $sth->errstr . "\n"; my $names = $sth->{NAME}; my $numFields = $sth->{'NUM_OF_FIELDS'} - 1; for my $i ( 0..$numFields ) { printf("%s%s", $i ? "," : "", $$names[$i]); } print "\n"; while (my $ref = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref) { for my $i ( 0..$numFields ) { printf("%s%s", $i ? "," : "", $$ref[$i]); } print "\n"; } For portable applications you should restrict yourself to attributes with capitalized or mixed case names. Lower case attribute names are private to DBD::mysql. The attribute list includes: =over =item ChopBlanks this attribute determines whether a I will chop preceding and trailing blanks off the column values. Chopping blanks does not have impact on the I attribute. =item mysql_gtids Returns GTID(s) if GTID session tracking is ensabled in the server via session_track_gtids. =item mysql_insertid If the statement you executed performs an INSERT, and there is an AUTO_INCREMENT column in the table you inserted in, this attribute holds the value stored into the AUTO_INCREMENT column, if that value is automatically generated, by storing NULL or 0 or was specified as an explicit value. Typically, you'd access the value via $sth->{mysql_insertid}. The value can also be accessed via $dbh->{mysql_insertid} but this can easily produce incorrect results in case one database handle is shared. =item mysql_is_blob Reference to an array of boolean values; TRUE indicates, that the respective column is a blob. This attribute is valid for MySQL only. =item mysql_is_key Reference to an array of boolean values; TRUE indicates, that the respective column is a key. This is valid for MySQL only. =item mysql_is_num Reference to an array of boolean values; TRUE indicates, that the respective column contains numeric values. =item mysql_is_pri_key Reference to an array of boolean values; TRUE indicates, that the respective column is a primary key. =item mysql_is_auto_increment Reference to an array of boolean values; TRUE indicates that the respective column is an AUTO_INCREMENT column. This is only valid for MySQL. =item mysql_length =item mysql_max_length A reference to an array of maximum column sizes. The I is the maximum physically present in the result table, I gives the theoretically possible maximum. I is valid for MySQL only. =item NAME A reference to an array of column names. =item NULLABLE A reference to an array of boolean values; TRUE indicates that this column may contain NULL's. =item NUM_OF_FIELDS Number of fields returned by a I
