DBD::Gofer::Transport::corostream - Async DBD::Gofer stream transport using Coro and AnyEvent

DBI_AUTOPROXY="dbi:Gofer:transport=corostream" perl some-perl-script-using-dbi.pl

or

$dsn = ...; # the DSN for the driver and database you want to use
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Gofer:transport=corostream;dsn=$dsn", ...);

The BIG WIN from using Coro is that it enables the use of existing DBI frameworks like DBIx::Class.

- Uses Coro::Select so alters CORE::select globally
  Parent class probably needs refactoring to enable a more encapsulated approach.
- Doesn't prevent multiple concurrent requests
  Probably just needs a per-connection semaphore
- Coro has many caveats. Caveat emptor.

THIS IS CURRENTLY JUST A PROOF-OF-CONCEPT IMPLEMENTATION FOR EXPERIMENTATION.

Please note that I have no plans to develop this code further myself. I'd very much welcome contributions. Interested? Let me know!

DBD::Gofer::Transport::stream

DBD::Gofer

Example code:

#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Time::HiRes qw(time);
BEGIN { $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT} = 1; $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE} = 1; }
use AnyEvent;
BEGIN { $ENV{DBI_TRACE} = 0; $ENV{DBI_GOFER_TRACE} = 0; $ENV{DBD_GOFER_TRACE} = 0; };
use DBI;
$ENV{DBI_AUTOPROXY} = 'dbi:Gofer:transport=corostream';
my $ticker = AnyEvent->timer( after => 0, interval => 0.1, cb => sub {
    warn sprintf "-tick- %.2f\n", time
} );
warn "connecting...\n";
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:NullP:");
warn "...connected\n";
for (1..3) {
    warn "entering DBI...\n";
    $dbh->do("sleep 0.3"); # pseudo-sql understood by the DBD::NullP driver
    warn "...returned\n";
}
warn "done.";

Example output:

$ perl corogofer.pl
connecting...
-tick- 1293631437.14
-tick- 1293631437.14
...connected
entering DBI...
-tick- 1293631437.25
-tick- 1293631437.35
-tick- 1293631437.45
-tick- 1293631437.55
...returned
entering DBI...
-tick- 1293631437.66
-tick- 1293631437.76
-tick- 1293631437.86
...returned
entering DBI...
-tick- 1293631437.96
-tick- 1293631438.06
-tick- 1293631438.16
...returned
done. at corogofer.pl line 39.

You can see that the timer callback is firing while the code 'waits' inside the do() method for the response from the database. Normally that would block.
