NAME
Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::DBI - Database interface wrapper
SYNOPSIS
my $obj = $c->plugin('DBI')->method( ... ); # Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::DBI->method()
or
$c->plugin('DBI')->method( ... );
DESCRIPTION
A database independent interface that gives your application universal
support across many databases including MySQL, PostGRe, and Oracle. Also
supports many common flat file formats.
PREREQUISITES
This package is part of a larger distribution and was NOT intended to be
used directly. In order for this plugin to work properly, the following
packages must be installed:
Apache2::WebApp
Apache::DBI
DBI
Params::Validate
INSTALLATION
From source:
$ tar xfz Apache2-WebApp-Plugin-DBI-0.X.X.tar.gz
$ perl MakeFile.PL PREFIX=~/path/to/custom/dir LIB=~/path/to/custom/lib
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
Perl one liner using CPAN.pm:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::DBI'
Use of CPAN.pm in interactive mode:
$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::DBI
cpan> quit
Just like the manual installation of Perl modules, the user may need
root access during this process to insure write permission is allowed
within the installation directory.
CONFIGURATION
Unless it already exists, add the following to your projects
*webapp.conf*
[database]
driver = mysql
host = localhost
name = database
user = foo
password = bar
auto_commit = 0
OBJECT METHODS

my $dbh = $c->plugin('DBH')->connect({
driver => 'mysql',
host => 'localhost',
name => 'database',
user => 'bar',
password => 'baz',
commit => 1 || 0,
});
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FR..");
