Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3025:
-------------------------------------------
bq. PDO doesn't seem to allow variable number of columns per row
How deep does this assumption go? In JDBC all rows are *supposed* to have the
same number of columns but nothing actually breaks if you quietly ignore this.
bq. In the current approach I iterated the result set, found the row with most
columns and used that as a column count for all rows
More correctly, what we would need is the union of all column names found.
bq. This causes a problem when some rows have less columns because those
missing columns don't have names
They do if you take the union approach. To take my simple example,
bq. row 1 has columns A, B, row 2 has columns A, C
You could return a resultset like
{noformat}
key | A | B | C
----+-----+-----+-----
1 | foo | bar | null
2 | baz | null| biz
{noformat}

> Hello,
> attached is the initial version of the PDO driver for Cassandra CQL language.
> This is a native PHP extension written in what I would call a combination of
> C and C++, due to PHP being C. The thrift API used is the C++.
> The API looks roughly following:
> {code}
> <?php
> $db = new PDO('cassandra:host=127.0.0.1;port=9160');
> $db->exec ("CREATE KEYSPACE mytest with strategy_class = 'SimpleStrategy' and
> strategy_options:replication_factor=1;");
> $db->exec ("USE mytest");
> $db->exec ("CREATE COLUMNFAMILY users (
> my_key varchar PRIMARY KEY,
> full_name varchar );");
>
> $stmt = $db->prepare ("INSERT INTO users (my_key, full_name) VALUES (:key,
> :full_name);");
> $stmt->execute (array (':key' => 'mikko', ':full_name' => 'Mikko K' ));
> {code}
> Currently prepared statements are emulated on the client side but I
> understand that there is a plan to add prepared statements to Cassandra CQL
> API as well. I will add this feature in to the extension as soon as they are
> implemented.
> Additional documentation can be found in github
> https://github.com/mkoppanen/php-pdo_cassandra, in the form of rendered
> MarkDown file. Tests are currently not included in the package file and they
> can be found in the github for now as well.
> I have created documentation in docbook format as well, but have not yet
> rendered it.
> Comments and feedback are welcome.
> Thanks,
> Mikko
