NAME
    Apache::Session::Store::MySQL - Store persistent data in a MySQL database

SYNOPSIS
     use Apache::Session::Store::MySQL;

     my $store = new Apache::Session::Store::MySQL;

     $store->insert($ref);
     $store->update($ref);
     $store->materialize($ref);
     $store->remove($ref);

DESCRIPTION
    Apache::Session::Store::MySQL fulfills the storage interface of Apache::Session. Session data is
    stored in a MySQL database.

SCHEMA
    To use this module, you will need at least these columns in a table called 'sessions', or
    another table name if you provide the TableName argument:

     id char(32)     # or however long your session IDs are.
     a_session blob  # or varbinary if you plan to use a big session (>64k after serialization)

    To create this schema, you can execute this command using the mysql program:

     CREATE TABLE sessions (
        id char(32) not null primary key,
        a_session blob
     );

    If you use some other command, ensure that there is a unique index on the table's id column.

CONFIGURATION
    The module must know what datasource, username, and password to use when connecting to the
    database. These values can be set using the options hash (see Apache::Session documentation).
    The options are:

    DataSource
    UserName
    Password
    TableName
    Handle

    Example:

     tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', $id, {
         DataSource => 'dbi:mysql:database',
         UserName   => 'database_user',
         Password   => 'K00l',
         TableName  => 'sessions'
     };

    Instead, you may pass in an already-opened DBI handle to your database.

     tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', $id, {
         Handle => $dbh
     };
