FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package database
The Database Package 
Introduction
The Database package is designed to manage the operations of data management through the use of a generic database engine.
Escaping Strings and Input
Strings must be escaped before using them in queries (never trust any variable input, even if it comes from a previous database query from your own data source). This can be done using the escape and the quote method.
The escape method will generally backslash unsafe characters (unually quote characters but it depends on the database engine). It also allows for optional escaping of additional characters (such as the underscore or percent when used in conjunction with a LIKE clause).
The quote method will escape a string and wrap it in quotes, however, the escaping can be turned off which is desirable in some situations. The quote method will also accept an array of strings and return an array quoted and escaped (unless turned off) string.
In the first case, the title variable is simply escaped and quoted. Any quote characters in the title string will be prepended with a backslash and the whole string will be wrapped in quotes.
In the second case, the example shows how to treat a search string that will be used in a LIKE clause. In this case, the title variable is manually escaped using escape with a second argument of true. This will force other special characters to be escaped (otherwise you could set yourself up for serious performance problems if the user includes too many wildcards). Then, the result is passed to the quote method but escaping is turned off (because it has already been done manually).
In the third case, the title variable is an array so the whole array can be passed to the quote method (this saves using a closure and a )
Shorthand versions are available the these methods:
qcan be used instead ofquoteqncan be used instead ofquoteNameecan be used instead ofescape
These shorthand versions are also available when using the Database\DatabaseQuery class.
Iterating Over Results
The Database\DatabaseIterator class allows iteration over database results
It allows also to count the results.
Logging
Database\DatabaseDriver implements the Psr\Log\LoggerAwareInterface so is ready for integrating with a logging package that supports that standard.
Drivers log all errors with a log level of LogLevel::ERROR.
If debugging is enabled (using setDebug(true)), all queries are logged with a log level of LogLevel::DEBUG. The context of the log include:
- sql : The query that was executed.
- category : A value of "databasequery" is used.
An example to log error by Monolog
Add this to composer.json
Then we push Monolog into Database instance.
