# Jifty::DBI::Handle::Informix(3pm)

## NAME

```
  Jifty::DBI::Handle::Informix - An Informix specific Handle object
```

## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

This module provides a subclass of Jifty::DBI::Handle that  compensates for some of the idiosyncrasies of Informix.

## METHODS

### insert

Takes a table name as the first argument and assumes that the rest of the arguments are an array of key-value pairs to be inserted.

If the insert succeeds, returns the id of the insert, otherwise, returns a Class::ReturnValue object with the error reported.

### case\_sensitive

Returns 1, since Informix's searches are case sensitive by default

### apply\_limits STATEMENTREF ROWS\_PER\_PAGE FIRST\_ROW

takes an SQL SELECT statement and massages it to return ROWS\_PER\_PAGE starting with FIRST\_ROW;

### disconnect

Disconnects and removes the reference to the handle for Informix.

### distinct\_query STATEMENTREF

takes an incomplete SQL SELECT statement and massages it to return a DISTINCT result set.
