[DBD::Gofer::Policy::clUsercContributed](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/DBD%3A%3AGofer%3A%3APolicy%3A%3AclUsercContributed/markdown) Perl [DoDBD::Gofer::Policy](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/DoDBD%3A%3AGofer%3A%3APolicy/markdown)::[classic(3pm)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/classic/3pm/markdown)

NAME
       [DBD::Gofer::Policy::classic](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/DBD%3A%3AGofer%3A%3APolicy%3A%3Aclassic/markdown) - The 'classic' policy for [DBD::Gofer](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/DBD%3A%3AGofer/markdown)

SYNOPSIS
         $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Gofer:transport=...;policy=classic", ...)

       The "classic" policy is the default [DBD::Gofer](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/DBD%3A%3AGofer/markdown) policy, so need not be
       included in the DSN.

DESCRIPTION
       Temporary docs: See the source code for list of policies and their
       defaults.

       In a future version the policies and their defaults will be defined in
       the pod and parsed out at load-time.
