NAME

Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB::Query - Convert a database query to an Excel spreadsheet

SYNOPSIS

use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB::Query;

my $dbh = DBI->connect(...);

        $query = q{select user from users};
        my $ss = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB->read($dbh, $query);
        print $ss->as_xls;
        # or
          $ss->write_xls('spreadsheet.xls');

DESCRIPTION

        This module exports a database query as an Excel Spreadsheet.  It functions
        very similar to Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB, except that it forms the
        Excel spreadsheet from a query instead of an entire table.

METHODS
data_query

Returns the query directly to Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB

columnsin_table

Returns the columns from the query directly to Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB

BUGS

        The same bugs that apply to Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB also apply to 
        Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB::Query.  Dates are handled as strings, rather than dates.
