Hi,
What is the benefit of this syntax over having a simple function that takes one argument, interpolating variables from CALLER::?
for sql 'SELECT * FROM table WHERE id=$id' { ... }
The difference is between compile time parsing and runtime parsing. This expression can be transformed to a prepare statement plus a call, which is not just faster, but more safer, if $id contains aposthropes or other characters.
Maybe other abstraction would be possible, too.
What about this (I'm not really sure, if it's ok):
INSERT INTO table (col1, col2) VALUES %row;
And it will be:
INSERT INTO table (col1, col2) VALUES (?,?)
and
%row.col1, %row.col2 will be insert as values.
Bye, Andras
