=head1 NAME

DBI::ProfileDumper - profile DBI usage and output data to a file

=head1 SYNOPSIS

To profile an existing program using DBI::ProfileDumper, set the
DBI_PROFILE environment variable and run your program as usual.  For
example, using bash:

  DBI_PROFILE=DBI::ProfileDumper program.pl

Then analyze the generated file (F<dbi.prof>) with L<dbiprof|dbiprof>:

  dbiprof

You can also activate DBI::ProfileDumper from within your code:

  use DBI;

  # profile with default path (2) and output file (dbi.prof)
  $dbh->{Profile} = "DBI::ProfileDumper";

  # same thing, spelled out
  $dbh->{Profile} = "2/DBI::ProfileDumper/File/dbi.prof";

  # another way to say it
  use DBI::Profile qw(DBIprofile_Statement);
  $dbh->{Profile} = DBI::ProfileDumper->new(
                        Path => [ DBIprofile_Statement ]
                        File => 'dbi.prof' );

  # using a custom path
  $dbh->{Profile} = DBI::ProfileDumper->new( Path => [ "foo", "bar" ],
                                             File => 'dbi.prof' );


=head1 DESCRIPTION

DBI::ProfileDumper is a subclass of L<DBI::Profile|DBI::Profile> which
dumps profile data to disk instead of printing a summary to your
screen.  You can then use L<dbiprof|dbiprof> to analyze the data in
a number of interesting ways, or you can roll your own analysis using
L<DBI::ProfileData|DBI::ProfileData>.

B<NOTE:> For Apache/mod_perl applications, use
L<DBI::ProfileDumper::Apache|DBI::ProfileDumper::Apache>.

=head1 USAGE

One way to use this module is just to enable it in your C<$dbh>:

  $dbh->{Profile} = "DBI::ProfileDumper";

This will write out profile data by statement into a file called
F<dbi.prof>.  If you want to modify either of these properties, you
can construct the DBI::ProfileDumper object yourself:

  use DBI::Profile qw(DBIprofile_Statement);
  $dbh->{Profile} = DBI::ProfileDumper->new(
                        Path => [ DBIprofile_Statement ]
                        File => 'dbi.prof' );

The C<Path> option takes the same values as in
L<DBI::Profile>.  The C<File> option gives the name of the
file where results will be collected.  If it already exists it will be
overwritten.

You can also activate this module by setting the DBI_PROFILE
environment variable:

  $ENV{DBI_PROFILE} = "DBI::ProfileDumper";

This will cause all DBI handles to share the same profiling object.

=head1 METHODS

The following methods are available to be called using the profile
object.  You can get access to the profile object from the Profile key
in any DBI handle:

  my $profile = $dbh->{Profile};

=over 4

=item $profile->flush_to_disk()

Flushes all collected profile data to disk and empties the Data hash.
This method may be called multiple times during a program run.

=item $profile->empty()

Clears the Data hash without writing to disk.

=back

=head1 DATA FORMAT

The data format written by DBI::ProfileDumper starts with a header
containing the version number of the module used to generate it.  Then
a block of variable declarations describes the profile.  After two
newlines, the profile data forms the body of the file.  For example:

  DBI::ProfileDumper 1.0
  Path = [ DBIprofile_Statement, DBIprofile_MethodName ]
  Program = t/42profile_data.t

The lines beginning with C<+> signs signify keys.  The number after
the C<+> sign shows the nesting level of the key.  Lines beginning
with C<=> are the actual profile data, in the same order as
in DBI::Profile.

Note that the same path may be present multiple times in the data file
since C<format()> may be called more than once.  When read by
DBI::ProfileData the data points will be merged to produce a single
data set for each distinct path.

The key strings are transformed in three ways.  First, all backslashes
are doubled.  Then all newlines and carriage-returns are transformed
into C<\n> and C<\r> respectively.  Finally, any NULL bytes (C<\0>)
are entirely removed.  When DBI::ProfileData reads the file the first
two transformations will be reversed, but NULL bytes will not be
restored.
