1.65 Mon Jul 23 20:16:08 PDT 2012
Finish the "Perl Data::Table Cookbook", should be a good learning \
material.
To download, visit https://sites.google.com/site/easydatabase/
Polish Data::Table::Excel for CPAN upload.
Minor patches to the code.
1.64 Sun Jul 8 22:01:17 PDT 2012
Add $keepRestCols to Data::Table::group();
We introduce new constants for fromCSV/fromTSV/fromFile/csv/tsv.
Data::Table::OS_UNIX = 0;
Data::Table::OS_PC = 1;
Data::Table::OS_MAC = 2;
Add method reorder(), redefine column orders
Add method melt() and cast(), concept borrowed from Reshape package in R
Add method each_group(), so one can apply a custom method to rows sharing the \
same key
Made a seemingly backward incompatible change to pivot()
pivot($colToSplit, $colToSplitIsNumeric, ...) is changed to
pivot($colToSplit, $colToSplitIsStringOrNumber, ...)
What is now pivot($colToSplit, $Data::Table::STRING, ...), where \
Data::Table::STRING has a value of 1,
was equivalent to pivot($colToSplit, 0, ...) in <= 1.63.
However, the $colToSplitIsStringOrNumber is now auto-guessed within the code, \
so the change is not very relevant.
Most existing code should run fine, without change.
Patch group(), piviot() to distinguish keys between empty string and undef.
Patch subTable() to take row mask array when {useRowMask=>1} is provided.
1.63 Tue Jun 12 17:05:43 PDT 2012
In this release, we patch addCol, delCol, addRow, rowMerge, colMerge to for an \
empty table
We introduce new methods isEmpty(), hasCol(), moveCol($colID, $newColIdx)
We introduce new constants for Data::Table::new()
Data::Table::ROW_BASED
Data::Table::COL_BASED
1.62 Fri May 25 11:40:09 PDT 2012
In this release, we address a few pain points
Data::Table::colMerge, update to support new options
{ renameCol => 1}
If specified, duplicate column names in the second table is automatically \
renamed (by appending _2) to avoid conflict
We introduce some constants, so we have fewer numbers to remember.
Data::Table::NUMBER
Data::Table::STRING
Data::Table::ASC
Data::Table::DESC
for sort(), you can use $t->sort('col2', Data::Table::NUMBER, \
Data::Table::DESC); it is equivalent to $t->sort('col2', 0, 1);
Data::Table::INNER_JOIN
Data::Table::LEFT_JOIN
Data::Table::RIGHT_JOIN
Data::Table::FULL_JOIN
for join(), you may use $t->sort($t2, Data::Table::FULL_JOIN, ['col1'], \
['col1']);
it is equivalent to $t->sort($t2, 3, ['col1'], ['col1']).
match_string, match_pattern have been generating @Data::Table::OK, which is a \
class-level array.
$t->match_pattern() will now also store the results (array ref) in \
$t->{OK}, that should be used in the future.
However, @Data::Table::OK is still supported for compatibility reasons.
This is not a pain point, but conceptually nicer to be localized.
match_pattern_hash() is added. The difference is each row is fed to the \
pattern as a hash %_. In the case of
match_pattern, each row is fed as an array ref $_. The pattern for \
match_pattern_hash() becomes much cleaner.
If a table has two columns: Col_A as the 1st column and Col_B as the 2nd \
column, a filter "Col_A>2 AND Col_B<2"
is written before as
$t->match_pattern('$_->[0] > 2 && $_->[1] <2');
where we need to figure out $t->colIndex('Col_A') is 0 and \
$t->colIndex('Col_B') is 1, in order to build the pattern.
Now you can use column name directly in the pattern:
$t->match_pattern_hash('$_{Col_A} >2 && $_{Col_B} <2');
This method creates $t->{OK}, as well as @Data::Table::OK, same as \
match_pattern().
Data::Table::rowMerge, update to support new options
{ byName =>1, addNewCol => 1}
If byName is 1, rows in the second table are appended by matching their \
column names, so that the second table
can have columns in a different order.
If addNewCol is 1, columns not exist in the first table will be \
automatically added.
addNewCol is best used with byName. If used alone, addNewCol will just \
patch the two tables so that they have
the same number of columns.
Data::Table::subTable, update internal to remove side effect on column header array
Data::join add support for an option {renameCol => 1}.
If specified, duplicate column names in the second table is automatically \
renamed (by appending _2) to avoid conflict
1.61 Mon Feb 27 21:07:55 PST 2012
Data::Table::fromSQL now can take DBI::st instead of a SQL string. This is \
introduced, so that
variable binding (such as CLOB/BLOB) can be done outside the method.
1.60 Sat Feb 25 19:26:46 PST 2012
Data::Table::addRow now also can take a hash reference. Hash keys are column names,
undef will be the value, if a column name is not found in the hash.

I have never checked those CPAN ticket, happened to discover them and address \
them in this version.
Update document, explain Data::Table::fromCSV(\*STDIN, 1) can be used to read \
table from STDIN.
Add tbody and thead to Data::Table::html, if it's portrait.
Suggested by Ken Rosenberry.
Modify Data::Table::html and Data::Table::html2, so that it can accept \
coloring via CSS
The color now can be either specified as an array as before, or as three CSS \
class names
Suggested by Xavier Robin
1.58 Thu Feb 2 20:33:03 PST 2012
Patch join(), prior version of join considers two NULL keys to be equal
update document, clarify that rowMerge assumes table columns in the same order
Thanks to Ulrik Stervbo.
1.57 Thu Apr 23 15:22:36 PDT 2009
Patch pivot(), it throws warning before, when colToFill is undef.
1.56 Fri Aug 22 15:53:29 PDT 2008
When the first line in a TSV is not a header, but contains strings such as \t.
The program will not transform \t to a tab.
Modify fromTSV, so that \t, \N (etc) transformation is optional.
Add transform_element flag to fromTSV method to turn on/off the transformation.
Thanks to Bin Zhou.
1.55 Mon May 5 10:29:44 PDT 2008
Patch parseCSV. fromFile guesses the wrong delimiter if some ending columns \
are empty.
