Re: fetchrow_hashref, and table.column format

[rnahi]

Since you are using MySQL, here is a recipe that should do what you want:

sub get_recs {
    my ($dbh, $query, @params) = @_ ;
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare($query);
    eval {
        if (@params) {
           $sth->execute(@params);
        }
        else {
           $sth->execute;
        }
    };
    return if $@;
    my  $table_names = $sth->{mysql_table};
    my  $field_names = $sth->{NAME_lc};
    my  $data = $sth->fetchall_arrayref();
    my  @records;

    for my $fn (@$field_names) {
        $fn = shift(@$table_names) . '.' . $fn;
    }

    for (@$data) {
        my %rec;
        @rec{@$field_names} = @$_;
        push @records, \%rec;
    }
    return \@records;
}

This function will give back the same output of fetchall_arrayref({}) (with the hashref option, i.e. an array made of a hashref for each record) with the table name added to each field.
