Note that no column names will be stored. They are fixed. Thus all other information including column type (INTEGER or CHAR(x), for example), column attributes (NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY, ...) will silently be discarded.
Table names cannot be arbitrary, due to restrictions of the SQL syntax. I recommend that table names are valid SQL identifiers: The first character is alphabetic, followed by an arbitrary number of alphanumeric characters. If you want to use other files, the file names must start with '/', './' or '../' and they must not contain white space.
For conditional execution use CREATE TABLE IF EXISTS statement.
Columns:
The text to translate (emty string for header).
The 'msgid' can contain Locale::Maketext placeholders. They have to be stored in gettext format. To change the format, use the database handle function 'maketext_to_gettext'.
The translation.
The 'msgid' can contain Locale::Maketext placeholder. They have to be stored in gettext format. To change the format, use the database handle function 'maketext_to_gettext'.
The translator comment text concatinated by 'po_separator'.
The automatic comment text concatinated by 'po_separator'.
Where the text to translate is from, concatinated by 'po_separator'.
This is the context.
The translation is finished (0) or not (1).
The translation is used (0) or not (1).
There are c-format, php-format and so on, see the DBD::PO::Locale::PO manpage.
To use these format flags call
DBD::PO-
init(qw(c-format php-format ...);>
or DBD::PO-
init(':format');>
or DBD::PO-
init(':all');> early.
Flag, not set (0), set (1) or negative set (-1).
The same like msgid but for plural.
To use these format flags call
DBD::PO-
init(':plural');>
or DBD::PO-
init(':all');> early.
Insted of msgstr for plural item 0 .. 5.
To use these format flags call
DBD::PO-
init(':plural');>
or DBD::PO-
init(':all');> early.
As comment formatted former msgctxt.
To use these format flags call
DBD::PO-
init(':previous');>
or DBD::PO-
init(':all');> early.
As comment formatted former msgid.
To use these format flags call
DBD::PO-
init(':previous');>
or DBD::PO-
init(':all');> early.
As comment formatted former msgid_plural.
To use these format flags call
DBD::PO-
init(':previous');>
or DBD::PO-
init(':all');> early.
..._format, msgid_plural, msgstr_0 .. msgstr_5 and previous_... are normally switched off. See method init.
$dbh->do(<<'EOT'); CREATE TABLE table.po ( msgid VARCHAR, msgstr VARCHAR, comment VARCHAR, automatic VARCHAR, reference VARCHAR, msgctxt VARCHAR, fuzzy INTEGER, obsolete INTEGER, ..._format INTEGER, msgid_plural VARCHAR, msgstr_0 VARCHAR, msgstr_1 VARCHAR, msgstr_2 VARCHAR, msgstr_3 VARCHAR, msgstr_4 VARCHAR, msgstr_5 VARCHAR, previous_msgctxt VARCHAR, previous_msgid VARCHAR, previous_msgid_plural VARCHAR ) EOT
The charset will set to the as parameter 'po_charset' given value at the connect method. Note that the default encoding is nothing, not 'utf-8'.
my $header_msgstr = $dbh->func( undef, # function name 'build_header_msgstr', );
my $header_msgstr = $dbh->func( { 'Project-Id-Version' => 'Project name', 'Report-Msgid-Bugs-To-Name' => 'Bug Reporter', 'Report-Msgid-Bugs-To-Mail' => 'report.msgid.bugs.to@example.org', 'POT-Creation-Date' => 'the POT creation date', 'PO-Revision-Date' => 'the PO revision date', 'Last-Translator-Name' => 'Steffen Winkler', 'Last-Translator-Mail' => 'steffenw@example.org', 'Language-Team-Name' => 'MyTeam', 'Language-Team-Mail' => 'cpan@example.org', # Do not set the following values. # They will be set automaticly.

Write the header row always at first!
use Socket qw($CRLF); my $separator = $CRLF; # But it is more easy # to use the po_separator default \n # and than the join is obsolete # because the strings typical including \n.
my $header_comment = join( $separator, 'This is a translator comment for the header.', 'And this is line 2 of.', );
$dbh->do(<<'EOT', undef, $header_comment, $header_msgstr); INSERT INTO table.po ( comment, msgstr ) VALUES (?, ?) EOT
my $sth = $dbh->prepare(<<'EOT'); INSERT INTO table.po ( msgid, msgstr, reference ) VALUES (?, ?, ?) EOT
$sth->execute( join( $separator, 'text to translate', '2nd line of text', ), join( $separator, 'translation', '2nd line of translation', ), join( $separator, 'my_program: 17', 'my_program: 269', ), );
my $sth = $dbh->prepare(<<'EOT'); INSERT INTO table.po ( msgid, msgstr, reference ) VALUES (?, ?, ?) EOT
$sth->execute( $dbh->func( # mapping: # - scalar to scalar # - or array to array # - here 2 values given to 2 returns join( $separator, 'text to translate', '2nd line of text', ), join( $separator, 'translation', '2nd line of translation', ), 'maketext_to_gettext', ), join( $separator, 'my_program: 17', 'my_program: 269', ), );
Scalar to scalar mapping.
my $charset = $dhh->func( {table => 'table_name'}, 'charset', 'get_header_msgstr_data', );
Arrayref to arrayref mapping.
my $array_ref = $dbh->func( {table => 'table_name'}, [qw(charset Project-Id-Version)], 'get_header_msgstr_data', ); my ($charset, $project_id_version) = @{$array_ref};
$sth = $dbh->prepare(<<'EOT'); SELECT msgstr FROM table.po WHERE msgid = ? EOT
$sth->execute( join( $separator, 'text to translate', '2nd line of text', ), );
my ($msgstr) = $sth->fetchrow_array();
$dbh->do(<<'EOT'); UPDATE table.po SET msgstr = '', fuzzy = 1 WHERE msgid = 'my_id' EOT
$dbh->do(<<'EOT'); DELETE FROM table.po WHERE obsolete = 1 EOT
For conditional execution use DROP TABLE IF EXISTS statement.
$dbh->do(<<'EOT'); DROP TABLE table.po EOT
$dbh->disconnect();
In case of join tables, SQL::Statement does not allow a file suffix.
File suffix can be used here:
SELECT msgstr FROM de.po WHERE msgid <> ''
But not here:
SELECT de.po.msgstr, ru.po.msgstr FROM de.po INNER JOIN ru.po ON de.po.msgid = ru.po.msgid WHERE de.po.msgid <> ''
Set a mapping hash like:
$dbh->{po_tables}->{'de'} = {file => 'de.po'}; $dbh->{po_tables}->{'ru'} = {file => 'ru.po'};
Do not write the suffix now:
SELECT de.msgstr, ru.msgstr FROM de INNER JOIN ru ON de.msgid = ru.msgid WHERE de.msgid <> ''
or the same here:
SELECT msgstr FROM de WHERE msgid <> ''
The DBD::PO module is yet another driver for the DBI (Database independent interface for Perl). This one is based on the SQL 'engine' SQL::Statement and the abstract DBI driver DBD::File and implements access to so-called PO files (GNU gettext). Such files are readable by Locale::Maketext.
See DBI for details on DBI, the SQL::Statement manpage for details on SQL::Statement and the DBD::File manpage for details on the base class DBD::File.

Inside of this Distribution is a directory named example. Run this *.pl files.
DBD::PO->init(...);
This is a class method to optimize the size of arrays. The default settings are performant.
Do not call this method during you have an active connection!
Parameters:
Allow all plural forms.
Allow all format flags.
Allow all.
Allow the format flag 'c-format'. For all the other format flags see the DBD::PO::Locale::PO manpage.
If no blank line is between PO entrys inside of the PO file, this switch allows to read the damaged file.
Use this method to show all header data for debugging.
$all_header_keys_ref = DBD::PO->get_all_header_keys();
my $header_data_ref = $dbh->func( {table => $table}, # wich table $all_header_keys_ref, # what to get 'get_header_msgstr_data', # function name );
or
$all_header_keys_ref = $dbh->func( 'get_all_header_keys', # function_name );
my $header_data_ref = $dbh->func( {table => $table}, # wich table $all_header_keys_ref, # what to get 'get_header_msgstr_data', # function name );

DBI
The only system dependent feature that DBD::File uses, is the flock()
function. Thus the module should run (in theory) on any system with
a working flock()
, in particular on all Unix machines and on Windows
NT. Under Windows 95 and MacOS the use of flock()
is disabled, thus
the module should still be usable,
Unlike other DBI drivers, you don't need an external SQL engine or a running server. All you need are the following Perl modules, available from any CPAN mirror.
The level of SQL support available depends on the version of SQL::Statement installed. Any version will support *basic* CREATE, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, and SELECT statements. Only versions of SQL::Statement 1.0 and above support additional features such as table joins, string functions, etc. See the documentation of the latest version of SQL::Statement for details.
not known
The module is using flock()
internally. However, this function is not
available on platforms. Using flock()
is disabled on MacOS and Windows
95: There's no locking at all (perhaps not so important on these
operating systems, as they are for single users anyways).
