This example outputs two times "blob". How could I find out, if the datatype of a column is TEXT
?
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use DBI;
use Data::Dumper;
my$dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:mysql:dbname=test", 'user', 'passwd', {
RaiseError => 1,
AutoCommit => 1,
} ) or die DBI->errstr;
my $table = 'my_test_table';
$dbh->do( "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS $table" );
$dbh->do( "CREATE TABLE $table ( Foo TEXT, Bar BLOB )" );
my $sth = $dbh->prepare( "INSERT INTO $table ( Foo, Bar ) VALUES( ?, ? )" );
$sth->execute( 'a', 'a' );
$sth = $dbh->prepare( "SELECT * FROM $table" );
$sth->execute();
my $col_types = $sth->{mysql_type_name};
print Dumper $col_types;
Output:
$VAR1 = [
'blob',
'blob'
];
Generally when you work with Database you know what the data fields are and you use fetch_hashref or fetch_arrayref functions and get the required data(in your case fields Foo(Text) and Bar(Blob)) , I didn't get what are you trying to achieve here? , If you need to get the data from Foo/Bar you should use fetch_arrayref or hashref functions, I also see that with 'use strict' you still managed to pass bareword 'mysql_type_name' to statement handle $sth.
This is because BLOB and TEXT are (nearly) the same thing in mysql: The BLOB and TEXT Types .
I am not sure why DBD::mysql can not distinguish the two. You may want to use VARCHAR instead of TEXT.
