42 __PACKAGE__->mk_accessors(qw( ));
44 # _new_schema
45 # Internal helper function (not a method!). This creates a new
46 # database connection from the data given in the current context, and
47 # returns it.
48 sub _new_schema {
50 require Koha::Schema;
51 my $context = C4::Context->new();
53 # we are letting C4::Context->dbh not set the RaiseError handle attribute
54 # for now for compatbility purposes
55 my $schema = Koha::Schema->connect( sub { C4::Context->dbh }, { unsafe => 1 } );
56 return $schema;
59 =head2 schema
61 $schema = $database->schema;
63 Returns a database handle connected to the Koha database for the
64 current context. If no connection has yet been made, this method
65 creates one, and connects to the database.
67 This database handle is cached for future use: if you call
68 C<$database-E<gt>schema> twice, you will get the same handle both
69 times. If you need a second database handle, use C<&new_schema> and
70 possibly C<&set_schema>.
72 =cut
74 sub schema {
75 my $self = shift;
76 my $sth;
78 if ( defined( $database->{schema} ) and $database->{schema}->storage->connected() ) {
79 return $database->{schema};
82 # No database handle or it died . Create one.
83 $database->{schema} = &_new_schema();
84 return $database->{schema};
87 =head2 new_schema
89 $schema = $database->new_schema;
91 Creates a new connection to the Koha database for the current context,
92 and returns the database handle (a C<DBI::db> object).
94 The handle is not saved anywhere: this method is strictly a
95 convenience function; the point is that it knows which database to
96 connect to so that the caller doesn't have to know.

101 sub new_schema {
102 my $self = shift;
104 return &_new_schema();
107 =head2 set_schema
109 $my_schema = $database->new_schema;
110 $database->set_schema($my_schema);
112 $database->restore_schema;
114 C<&set_schema> and C<&restore_schema> work in a manner analogous to
115 C<&set_context> and C<&restore_context>.
117 C<&set_schema> saves the current database handle on a stack, then sets
118 the current database handle to C<$my_schema>.
120 C<$my_schema> is assumed to be a good database handle.
122 =cut
124 sub set_schema {
125 my $self = shift;
126 my $new_schema = shift;
128 # Save the current database handle on the handle stack.
129 # We assume that $new_schema is all good: if the caller wants to
130 # screw himself by passing an invalid handle, that's fine by
131 # us.
132 push @{ $database->{schema_stack} }, $database->{schema};
133 $database->{schema} = $new_schema;
136 =head2 restore_schema
138 $database->restore_schema;
140 Restores the database handle saved by an earlier call to
141 C<$database-E<gt>set_schema>.
143 =cut
145 sub restore_schema {
146 my $self = shift;
148 if ( $#{ $database->{schema_stack} } < 0 ) {
150 # Stack underflow
151 die "SCHEMA stack underflow";
154 # Pop the old database handle and set it.
155 $database->{schema} = pop @{ $database->{schema_stack} };
157 # FIXME - If it is determined that restore_context should
158 # return something, then this function should, too.
161 =head2 EXPORT
163 None by default.
