=head1 DESCRIPTION

Functions in this module allows creation of a database handle to connect
to the Bugzilla database. This should never be done directly; all users
should use the L<Bugzilla> module to access the current C<dbh> instead.

This module also contains methods extending the returned handle with
functionality which is different between databases allowing for easy
customization for particular database via inheritance. These methods
should be always preffered over hard-coding SQL commands.

=head1 CONSTANTS

Subclasses of Bugzilla::DB are required to define certain constants. These
constants are required to be subroutines or "use constant" variables.

=over 4

=item C<BLOB_TYPE>

The C<\%attr> argument that must be passed to bind_param in order to 
correctly escape a C<LONGBLOB> type.

=back


=head1 CONNECTION

A new database handle to the required database can be created using this
module. This is normally done by the L<Bugzilla> module, and so these routines
should not be called from anywhere else.

=head2 Functions

=over

=item C<connect_main>

=over

=item B<Description>

Function to connect to the main database, returning a new database handle.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<$no_db_name> (optional) - If true, connect to the database
server, but don't connect to a specific database. This is only used 
when creating a database. After you create the database, you should 
re-create a new Bugzilla::DB object without using this parameter. 

=back

=item B<Returns>

New instance of the DB class

=back

=item C<connect_shadow>

=over

=item B<Description>

Function to connect to the shadow database, returning a new database handle.
This routine C<die>s if no shadow database is configured.

=item B<Params> (none)

=item B<Returns>

A new instance of the DB class

=back

=item C<bz_check_requirements>

=over

=item B<Description>

Checks to make sure that you have the correct DBD and database version 
installed for the database that Bugzilla will be using. Prints a message 
and exits if you don't pass the requirements.

If C<$db_check> is false (from F<localconfig>), we won't check the 
database version.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<$output> - C<true> if the function should display informational 
output about what it's doing, such as versions found.

=back

=item B<Returns> (nothing)

=back


=item C<bz_create_database>

=over

=item B<Description>

Creates an empty database with the name C<$db_name>, if that database 
doesn't already exist. Prints an error message and exits if we can't 
create the database.

=item B<Params> (none)

=item B<Returns> (nothing)

=back

=item C<_connect>

=over

=item B<Description>

Internal function, creates and returns a new, connected instance of the 
correct DB class.  This routine C<die>s if no driver is specified.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<$driver> - name of the database driver to use

=item C<$host> - host running the database we are connecting to

=item C<$dbname> - name of the database to connect to

=item C<$port> - port the database is listening on

=item C<$sock> - socket the database is listening on

=item C<$user> - username used to log in to the database

=item C<$pass> - password used to log in to the database

=back

=item B<Returns>

A new instance of the DB class

=back

=item C<_handle_error>

Function passed to the DBI::connect call for error handling. It shortens the 
error for printing.

=item C<import>

Overrides the standard import method to check that derived class
implements all required abstract methods. Also calls original implementation 
in its super class.

=back

=head1 ABSTRACT METHODS

Note: Methods which can be implemented generically for all DBs are implemented in
this module. If needed, they can be overridden with DB specific code.
Methods which do not have standard implementation are abstract and must
be implemented for all supported databases separately.
To avoid confusion with standard DBI methods, all methods returning string with
formatted SQL command have prefix C<sql_>. All other methods have prefix C<bz_>.

=head2 Constructor

=over

=item C<new>

=over

=item B<Description>

Constructor.  Abstract method, should be overridden by database specific 
code.

=item B<Params>

=over 

=item C<$user> - username used to log in to the database

=item C<$pass> - password used to log in to the database

=item C<$host> - host running the database we are connecting to

=item C<$dbname> - name of the database to connect to

=item C<$port> - port the database is listening on

=item C<$sock> - socket the database is listening on

=back

=item B<Returns>

A new instance of the DB class

=item B<Note>

The constructor should create a DSN from the parameters provided and

Formatted SQL for substring search (scalar)

=back

=item C<sql_group_by>

=over

=item B<Description>

Outputs proper SQL syntax for grouping the result of a query.

For ANSI SQL databases, we need to group by all columns we are
querying for (except for columns used in aggregate functions).
Some databases require (or even allow) to specify only one
or few columns if the result is uniquely defined. For those
databases, the default implementation needs to be overloaded.

=item B<Params>

=item C<$needed_columns> - string with comma separated list of columns
we need to group by to get expected result (scalar)

=item C<$optional_columns> - string with comma separated list of all

=back

=item C<sql_fulltext_search>

=over

=item B<Description>

Returns SQL syntax for performing a full text search for specified text 
on a given column.

There is a ANSI SQL version of this method implemented using LIKE operator,
but it's not a real full text search. DB specific modules should override 
this, as this generic implementation will be always much slower. This 
generic implementation returns 'relevance' as 0 for no match, or 1 for a 
match.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<$column> - name of column to search (scalar)

=item C<$text> - text to search for (scalar)

=back

=item B<Returns>

Formatted SQL for full text search

=back

=item C<sql_istrcmp>

=over

=item B<Description>

Returns SQL for a case-insensitive string comparison.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<$left> - What should be on the left-hand-side of the operation.

=item C<$right> - What should be on the right-hand-side of the operation.

=item C<$op> (optional) - What the operation is. Should be a  valid ANSI 
SQL comparison operator, such as C<=>, C<E<lt>>, C<LIKE>, etc. Defaults 
to C<=> if not specified.

=back

=item B<Returns>

A SQL statement that will run the comparison in a case-insensitive fashion.

=item B<Note>

Uses L</sql_istring>, so it has the same performance concerns.
Try to avoid using this function unless absolutely necessary.

Subclass Implementors: Override sql_istring instead of this
function, most of the time (this function uses sql_istring).

=back

=item C<sql_istring>

=over

=item B<Description>

Returns SQL syntax "preparing" a string or text column for case-insensitive 
comparison.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<$string> - string to convert (scalar)

=back

=item B<Returns>

Formatted SQL making the string case insensitive.

=item B<Note>

The default implementation simply calls LOWER on the parameter.
If this is used to search on a text column with index, the index
will not be usually used unless it was created as LOWER(column).

=back

=item C<bz_lock_tables>

=over

=item B<Description>

Performs a table lock operation on specified tables. If the underlying 
database supports transactions, it should also implicitly start a new 
transaction.

Abstract method, should be overridden by database specific code.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<@tables> - list of names of tables to lock in MySQL
notation (ex. 'bugs AS bugs2 READ', 'logincookies WRITE')

=back

=item B<Returns> (nothing)

=back

=item C<bz_unlock_tables>

=over

=item B<Description>

Performs a table unlock operation.

If the underlying database supports transactions, it should also implicitly 
commit or rollback the transaction.

Also, this function should allow to be called with the abort flag
set even without locking tables first without raising an error
to simplify error handling.

Abstract method, should be overridden by database specific code.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<$abort> - C<UNLOCK_ABORT> if the operation on locked tables
failed (if transactions are supported, the action will be rolled
back). No param if the operation succeeded. This is only used by
L<Bugzilla::Error/throw_error>.

=back

=item B<Returns> (none)

=back

=back


=head1 IMPLEMENTED METHODS

These methods are implemented in Bugzilla::DB, and only need
to be implemented in subclasses if you need to override them for 
database-compatibility reasons.

=head2 General Information Methods

These methods return information about data in the database.

=over

=item C<bz_last_key>

=over

=item B<Description>

Returns the last serial number, usually from a previous INSERT.

Must be executed directly following the relevant INSERT.
This base implementation uses L<DBI/last_insert_id>. If the
DBD supports it, it is the preffered way to obtain the last
serial index. If it is not supported, the DB-specific code
needs to override this function.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<$table> - name of table containing serial column (scalar)

=item C<$column> - name of column containing serial data type (scalar)

=back

=item B<Returns>

Last inserted ID (scalar)

=back

=item C<bz_get_field_defs>

=over

=item B<Description>

Returns a list of all the "bug" fields in Bugzilla. The list
contains hashes, with a C<name> key and a C<description> key.

=item B<Params> (none)

=item B<Returns>

=back

=back

=head2 Database Setup Methods

These methods are used by the Bugzilla installation programs to set up
the database.

=over

=item C<bz_populate_enum_tables>

=over

=item B<Description>

For an upgrade or an initial installation, populates the tables that hold 
the legal values for the old "enum" fields: C<bug_severity>, 
C<resolution>, etc. Prints out information if it inserts anything into the
DB.

=item B<Params> (none)

=item B<Returns> (nothing)

=back

=back

information in the formats defined for indexes and columns in
C<Bugzilla::DB::Schema::ABSTRACT_SCHEMA>.

=over

=item C<bz_add_column>

=over

=item B<Description>

Adds a new column to a table in the database. Prints out a brief statement 
that it did so, to stdout. Note that you cannot add a NOT NULL column that 
has no default -- the database won't know what to set all the NULL
values to.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<$table> - the table where the column is being added

=item C<$name> - the name of the new column

=item C<\%definition> - Abstract column definition for the new column

to. Required if your column is NOT NULL and has no DEFAULT set.

=back

=item B<Returns> (nothing)

=back

=item C<bz_add_index>

=over

=item B<Description>

Adds a new index to a table in the database. Prints out a brief statement 
that it did so, to stdout. If the index already exists, we will do nothing.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<$table> - The table the new index is on.

=item C<$name>  - A name for the new index.

=item C<$definition> - An abstract index definition. Either a hashref 
or an arrayref.

=back

=item B<Returns> (nothing)

=back

=item C<bz_add_table>

=over

=item B<Description>

Creates a new table in the database, based on the definition for that 
table in the abstract schema.

Note that unlike the other 'add' functions, this does not take a 
definition, but always creates the table as it exists in
L<Bugzilla::DB::Schema/ABSTRACT_SCHEMA>.

If a table with that name already exists, then this function returns 
silently.

=item B<Params>

=over

=item C<$name> - The name of the table you want to create.

=back

=item B<Returns> (nothing)

=back

=item C<bz_drop_index>

=over

=item C<$table> - The table that the index is on.

=item C<$name> - The name of the index that you want to drop.

=back

=item B<Returns> (nothing)

=over

=item C<$table> - the table where the column is

=item C<$name> - the name of the column you want to change

=item C<\%new_def> - An abstract column definition for the new 
data type of the columm

=item C<$set_nulls_to> (Optional) - If you are changing the column
to be NOT NULL, you probably also want to set any existing NULL columns 
to a particular value. Specify that value here. B<NOTE>: The value should 
not already be SQL-quoted.

=back

=item B<Returns> (nothing)

=back

=item C<bz_drop_column>

=over

=item B<Description>

Removes a column from a database table. If the column doesn't exist, we 
return without doing anything. If we do anything, we print a short 
message to C<stdout> about the change.
