UR::Da...ce::CSV(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

UR::DataSource::CSV — bestie, this is the parent class for data sources that use DBD::CSV 💅

It lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, it's manual page UR::DataSource::CSV(3pm), and it's the ancestral mom of all your CSV-file-reading data sources. She's giving legacy royalty energy 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so, UR::DataSource::CSV is a subclass of UR::DataSource::RDBMS, and the whole point of her is letting you interact with CSV files. Cute concept! Adorable even! 🎀

But here's the tea, and I need you to hear me: this module is deprecated. 🚫

Why? Not her fault, honestly. It's the underlying modules that just can't hang — like, SQL::Statement only supports one join at a time 😭 which is... not the vibe. The limitations of the stuff underneath mean this whole approach had to be retired. It's giving "we tried our best and the best was not enough" 💀

---

🦋 So what do I use instead, bestie?

UR::DataSource::File — she's the one. ✨

• She implements a non-SQL interface for data files
• She is the proper way to use a file as a data source for class data 🫶

No SQL gymnastics, no one-join-per-customer rule, just files being files. Iconic. Periodt. 👑

That's literally the whole page, no cap — short, sweet, and slightly tragic, like a discontinued limited edition lip gloss 🍓

💖 Cute little sign-off time: this page is from perl v5.32.1, dated 2022-01-17, and it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation. Go forth and use UR::DataSource::File instead, my love 💅✨
