# Apache::Session::Informix - phpMan

## NAME
    [Apache::Session::Informix] - An implementation of [Apache::Session]

## SYNOPSIS
     use [Apache::Session::Informix];

     #if you want [Apache::Session] to open new DB handles:

     tie %hash, '[Apache::Session::Informix]', $id, {
        DataSource => 'dbi:Informix:sessions',
        UserName   => $db_user,
        Password   => $db_pass,
        Commit     => 1
     };

     #or, if your handles are already opened:

     tie %hash, '[Apache::Session::Informix]', $id, {
        Handle => $dbh,
        Commit => 1
     };

## DESCRIPTION
    This module is an implementation of [Apache::Session]. It uses the
    Informix backing store and no locking. See the example, and the
    documentation for [Apache::Session::Store::Informix] for more details.

## USAGE
    The special [Apache::Session] argument for this module is Commit. You MUST
    provide the Commit argument, which instructs this module to either
    commit the transaction when it is finished, or to simply do nothing.
    This feature is provided so that this module will not have adverse
    interactions with your local transaction policy, nor your local database
    handle caching policy. The argument is mandatory in order to make you
    think about this problem.

    This module also respects the LongReadLen argument, which specifies the
    maximum size of the session object. If not specified, the default
    maximum is 8 KB.
