NAME

Starch::Store::DBI - Starch storage backend using DBI.

SYNOPSIS

    my $starch = Starch->new(
        store => {
            class => '::DBI',
            dbh => [
                $dsn,
                $username,
                $password,
                { RaiseError => 1 },
            ],
            table => 'my_states',
        },
    );

DESCRIPTION

This Starch store uses DBI to set and get state data.

Consider using Starch::Store::DBIx::Connector instead of this store as DBIx::Connector provides superior re-connection and transaction handling capabilities.

The table in your database should contain three columns. This is the SQLite syntax for creating a compatible table which you can modify to work for your particular database's syntax:

    CREATE TABLE starch_states (
        key TEXT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
        data TEXT NOT NULL,
        expiration INTEGER NOT NULL
    )

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

dbh

This must be set to either array ref arguments for "connect" in DBI or a pre-built object (often retrieved using a method proxy).

When configuring Starch from static configuration files using a method proxy is a good way to link your existing DBI object constructor in with Starch so that starch doesn't build its own.

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

serializer

A Data::Serializer::Raw for serializing the state data for storage in the "data_column". Can be specified as string containing the serializer name, a hash ref of Data::Serializer::Raw arguments, or as a pre-created Data::Serializer::Raw object. Defaults to JSON.

Consider using the JSON::XS or Sereal serializers for speed.

Sereal will likely be the fastest and produce the most compact data.

table

The table name where states are stored in the database. Defaults to starch_states.

key_column

The column in the "table" where the state ID is stored. Defaults to key.

data_column

The column in the "table" which will hold the state data. Defaults to data.

expiration_column

The column in the "table" which will hold the epoch time when the state should be expired. Defaults to expiration.

ATTRIBUTES

insert_sql

The SQL used to create state data.

update_sql

The SQL used to update state data.

exists_sql

The SQL used to confirm whether state data already exists.

select_sql

The SQL used to retrieve state data.

delete_sql

The SQL used to delete state data.

METHODS

set

Set "set" in Starch::Store.

get

Set "get" in Starch::Store.

remove

Set "remove" in Starch::Store.
