Re: [PHP-DB] Stored Procedures, Dynamic SQL or static SQL and testing.

Does using a different RDBMS make a difference to the SQL coding style you'd use? Personally, I prefer to use dynamic SQL and this doesn't really change no matter which RDBMS or programming language I use. I prefer doing it that way because it's easier to see what I've done (I don't need to interrogate the database to get procedure definitions, which aren't universally available) and I find it easier to debug because echoing p$query/p lets me see what I'm passing to the DB. I don't usually test SQL separately but as part of the application. However, when debugging I often copy the echoed query and then paste it into the CLI or other facility to check it returns what I expect. With all that said, sometimes I have no option but use a stored procedure. An example is where I'm inserting a new row and I need it's PK value (e.g. LAST_INSERT_ID() in MySQL).

I used both. SPs work for some of the larger reports, especially when combined with a view or two. For mist of the form interactions I tend to use regular SQL with prepared statements for simplicity and security Whichever you use how do you test them? Do you use unit testing in your PHP code? If so, do you also have unit code testing for the SQL statements (I suppose this mainly relates to SPs). Yes. I generally write and test the SQL before turning it into a SP Does using a different RDBMS make a difference to the SQL coding style you'd use? Generic SQL where possible. But occasionally I will use specific SQL for the RDBMS where appropriate. My current code base is not as layered as I would like to really make it a simple config switch to change the backend This isn't for any sort of thesis, just trying to see what the general consensus is of those that reply.

If you run multiple queries in the same function call, how do you know which one failed? Answering your question, I have no idea - you'd probably be best setting up some tests. -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
