PGObject::Type::ByteString(3pm)

Wrapper for raw strings mapping to BYTEA columns.

NAME

PGObject::Type::ByteString - Wrapper for raw strings mapping to BYTEA columns.

VERSION

Version 1.2.3

SYNOPSIS

   PGObject::Type::ByteString->register();

Now all BYTEA columns will be returned as ByteString objects.

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a basic wrapper around Perl strings, mapping them to BYTEA database columns.

PGObject::Type::ByteString objects have no traditional properties, however dereferencing them will yield the raw string they contain.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

register([registry => 'default',] [types => $types_arrayref])

By default registers type PG_BYTEA.

new

Instantiates and returns a new object, based on the supplied scalar string, or scalar string reference.

Dereferencing the returned object will yield the original raw string.

from_db

Returns a new PGObject::Type::ByteString object based on the supplied scalar string, or scalar string reference.

to_db

Returns the object's binary string value packaged as PG_BYTEA type/value hashref suitable for passing to DBD::Pg.
