Apache::Session::Store::Oracle - phpMan

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

SYNOPSIS
     use Apache::Session::Store::Oracle;

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

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

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

SCHEMA
    To use this module, you will need at least these columns in a table
    called 'sessions':

     id varchar2(32)     # or however long your session IDs are.
     a_session long

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

     CREATE TABLE sessions (
        id varchar2(32) not null primary key,
        a_session long
     );

    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, and Password.

    Example:

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

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

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

    The last option is LongReadLen, which specifies the maximum size of the
    session object. If not supplied, the default maximum size is 8 KB.
