NAME
    Apache::Session::Oracle - An implementation of Apache::Session

SYNOPSIS
     use Apache::Session::Oracle;

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

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

     #or, if your handles are already opened:

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

DESCRIPTION
    This module is an implementation of Apache::Session. It uses the Oracle backing store and no
    locking. See the example, and the documentation for Apache::Session::Store::Oracle 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.

AUTHOR
    This module was written by Jeffrey William Baker <jwbaker AT acm.org>.
