NAME

Alzabo::SQLMaker::MySQL - Alzabo SQL making class for MySQL

SYNOPSIS

  use Alzabo::SQLMaker;

  my $sql = Alzabo::SQLMaker->new( sql => 'MySQL' );

DESCRIPTION

This class implementes MySQL-specific SQL creation. MySQL does not allow subselects. Any attempt to use a subselect (by passing an "Alzabo::SQMaker" object in as parameter to a method) will result in an "Alzabo::Exception::SQL" error.

METHODS

Almost all of the functionality inherited from Alzabo::SQLMaker is used as is. The only overridden methods are "limit()" and "get_limit()", as MySQL does allow for a "LIMIT" clause in its SQL.
