databases/p5-SQL-Statement - The NetBSD Packages Collection

The SQL::Statement module implements a pure Perl SQL parsing and execution
engine. While it by no means implements full ANSI standard, it does support
many features including column and table aliases, built-in and user-defined
functions, implicit and explicit joins, complexly nested search conditions,
and other features.

SQL::Statement is a small embeddable Database Management System (DBMS),
this means that it provides all of the services of a simple DBMS except that
instead of a persistant storage mechanism, it has two things:
1) an in-memory storage mechanism that allows you to prepare, execute, and
   fetch from SQL statements using temporary tables and
2) a set of software sockets where any author can plug in any storage
   mechanism.

There are three main uses for SQL::Statement.
1) to access and manipulate data in CSV, XML, and other formats
2) to build a DBD for a new data source
3) to parse and examine the structure of SQL statements.
