# 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.
