NAME

       Apache::Session::Store::MySQL - Store persistent data in a MySQL database

SYNOPSIS

	use Apache::Session::Store::MySQL;

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

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

DESCRIPTION

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

SCHEMA

       To use this module, you will need at least these columns in a table called 'sessions', or another table name if you provide the TableName
       argument:

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

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

	CREATE TABLE sessions (
	   id char(32) not null primary key,
	   a_session text
	);

       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
       Password
       TableName
       Handle

       Example:

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

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

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