Data::Session::Driver::SQLite(3pm)

NAME

Data::Session::Driver::SQLite - A persistent session manager

Synopsis

See Data::Session for details.

Description

Data::Session::Driver::SQLite allows Data::Session to manipulate sessions via DBD::SQLite.

To use this module do both of these:

o Specify a driver of type SQLite, as Data::Session -> new(type => 'driver:SQLite ...')

o Specify a database handle as Data::Session -> new(dbh => $dbh) or a data source as Data::Session -> new(data_source => $string)

See scripts/sqlite.pl.

Case-sensitive Options

See "Case-sensitive Options" in Data::Session for important information.

Method: new()

Creates a new object of type Data::Session::Driver::SQLite.

"new()" takes a hash of key/value pairs, some of which might mandatory. Further, some combinations might be mandatory.

The keys are listed here in alphabetical order.

They are lower-case because they are (also) method names, meaning they can be called to set or get the value at any time.

o data_col_name => $string

Specifes the name of the column in the sessions table which holds the session data.

This key is normally passed in as Data::Session -> new(data_col_name => $string).

Default: 'a_session'.

This key is optional.

o data_source => $string

Specifies the data source (as used by DBI -> connect($data_source, $username, $password, $data_source_attr) ) to obtain a database handle.

This key is normally passed in as Data::Session -> new(data_source => $string).

Default: ''.

This key is optional, as long as a value is supplied for 'dbh'.

o data_source_attr => $string

Specifies the attributes (as used by DBI -> connect($data_source, $username, $password, $data_source_attr) ) to obtain a database handle.

This key is normally passed in as Data::Session -> new(data_source_attr => $string).

Default: {AutoCommit => 1, PrintError => 0, RaiseError => 1}.

This key is optional.

o dbh => $dbh

Specifies the database handle to use to access the sessions table.

This key is normally passed in as Data::Session -> new(dbh => $dbh).

If not specified, this module will use the values of these keys to obtain a database handle:

o data_source

o data_source_attr

o username

o password

Default: ''.

This key is optional.

o host => $string: Not used.

o id_col_name => $string

Specifes the name of the column in the sessions table which holds the session id.

This key is normally passed in as Data::Session -> new(id_col_name => $string).

Default: 'id'.

This key is optional.

o password => $string

Specifies the password (as used by DBI -> connect($data_source, $username, $password, $data_source_attr) ) to obtain a database handle.

This key is normally passed in as Data::Session -> new(password => $string).

Default: ''.

This key is optional.

o port => $string: Not used.

o socket => $string: Not used.

o table_name => $string

Specifes the name of the sessions table.

This key is normally passed in as Data::Session -> new(table_name => $string).

Default: 'sessions'.

This key is optional.

o username => $string

Specifies the username (as used by DBI -> connect($data_source, $username, $password, $data_source_attr) ) to obtain a database handle.

This key is normally passed in as Data::Session -> new(username => $string).

Default: ''.

This key is optional.

o verbose => $integer

Print to STDERR more or less information.

Typical values are 0, 1 and 2.

This key is normally passed in as Data::Session -> new(verbose => $integer).

This key is optional.

Method: remove($id)

Deletes from storage the session identified by $id, or dies if it can't.

Returns 1.

Method: retrieve($id)

Retrieve from storage the session identified by $id, or dies if it can't.

Returns the session.

This is a frozen session. This value must be thawed by calling the appropriate serialization driver's thaw() method.

Data::Session calls the right thaw() automatically.

Method: store($id => $data)

Writes to storage the session identified by $id, together with its data $data, or dies if it can't.

Returns 1.

Method: traverse()

Retrieves all ids from the sessions table, and for each id calls the supplied subroutine with the id as the only parameter.

$dbh -> selectall_arrayref is used, and the table is not locked.

Returns 1.
