Thus, any db-specific code must reside in that file. In particular, it's intended that functions defined in that file return valid SQL statements as text for certain operations like CREATE TABLE, UPDATE, SELECT, etc.$db = "DBIx/TextIndex/${db}.pm" require $db;
The problem comes from the MySQL-centric code ... several of the internal operations involve putting a row in a table via "REPLACE INTO", which has no corresponding statement in most other RDBMS, including PostgreSQL. I really have to perform a DELETE and INSERT at that point, or a SELECT followed by an UPDATE (if successful) or an INSERT (if not). And I can't do the delete in the function that returns the SQL code, because the caller doesn't provide any info about parameters at that point; instead, it takes the SQL and executes it in a loop.
The code in TextIndex expects only a single SQL statement to be returned. Thus, I need to provide a function to override the TextIndex function, so that it gets both the DELETE statement and the INSERT statement, prepares both, and executes both in a loop.
The problem is that the function I'm overriding makes use of a lexical defined elsewhere in the package. At this point I think my only options are to rewrite the whole package or writing a new class that inherits from the old.
