DBIx::C...indVars(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay so bestie, this is the manual page for DBIx::C...indVars(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the full module name is a whole mouthful: DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::ASE::NoBindVars. It’s a Storage::DBI subclass for Sybase ASE without placeholder support. Iconic, honestly. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Here’s the tea, fr fr: if you’re using this driver, then your version of Sybase or the libraries you use to connect to it do not support placeholders. That’s the whole vibe check.

You can also enable this driver explicitly using:

my $schema = SchemaClass->clone;
$schema->storage_type('::DBI::Sybase::ASE::NoBindVars');
$schema->connect($dsn, $user, $pass, \%opts);

There’s a whole discussion in “Using ? Placeholders & bind parameters to $sth->execute” in DBD::Sybase about the pros and cons of using placeholders with this particular driver. Go read it, iykyk. 👑

One advantage of not using placeholders is that select @@identity will work for obtaining the last insert id of an IDENTITY column, instead of having to do select max(col) in a transaction as the base Sybase driver does. Lowkey a glow-up. ✨

When using this driver, bind variables will be interpolated (properly quoted of course) into the SQL query itself, without using placeholders. Not a single placeholder in sight, periodt. 💖

The caching of prepared statements is also explicitly disabled, as the interpolation renders it useless. It’s giving “why keep it, it’s not serving.” 💀

💖 FURTHER QUESTIONS? 💖

Check the list of additional DBIC resources. That’s the move, bestie. 🫶
