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.

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.
