Apache::Session::Oracle - phpMan

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.

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