Octopussy::DB(3)

💖 Octopussy::DB 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Octopussy::DB — that's the Octopussy Database module, and it's literally the whole vibe of talking to the Octopussy database from Perl. it's giving backend glamour. it's giving DB layer. let's go 🦋

✨ FUNCTIONS ✨

🌸 Connect()

Connects to the Octopussy Database. that's it, that's the whole function — it does the connecting, you do the slaying 💅

🎀 Table_Creation($tablename, \@fields, \@indexes)

Creates Table '$tablename' with fields '\@fields'. yes you read that right, you pass the table name, a reference to your fields array, and a reference to your indexes array, and boom — new table, no cap 🔥

🧚 SQL_As_Substitution($field)

the original page gives this one no description at all — it's a mystery, it's lowkey serving enigma. it takes $field, and that's every single detail we have, periodt 🙈

⭐ SQL_Select_Function(@fields)

same situation bestie: SQL_Select_Function takes @fields and the manpage says absolutely nothing else about it. iconic of it honestly 👑

💜 Column_Names($query)

Returns list of Column names from an SQL query. you hand it a $query, it hands you back the column names. clean, simple, ate 🌈
