NAME

       Apache::Session::Serialize::Sybase - Use Storable to zip up persistent data and unpack/pack to put into Sybase-compatible image field

SYNOPSIS

	use Apache::Session::Serialize::Sybase;

	$zipped = Apache::Session::Serialize::Sybase::serialize($ref);
	$ref = Apache::Session::Serialize::Sybase::unserialize($zipped);

DESCRIPTION

       This module fulfills the serialization interface of Apache::Session by taking the data from Apache::Session::Serialize::Storable and
       modifying it to work with Sybase IMAGE fields. Note that you do not need to quote these values before inserting into the database, and that
       if you are using DBI::Sybase, you cannot use the data in a placeholder. If you use Apache::Session::Sybase as your session class, this will
       all get taken care of.

AUTHOR

       Apache::Session::Serialize::Storable was written by Jeffrey William Baker <jwbaker@acm.org>; the Sybase-specific data manipulation was
       written by Mark Landry <mdlandry@lincoln.midcoast.com> for use in an earlier version of Apache::Session::DBI::Sybase and placed here by
       Chris Winters <chris@cwinters.com>.

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

	use Apache::Session::Store::Sybase;

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

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

DESCRIPTION

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

SCHEMA

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

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

       To create this schema, you can execute this command using the isql or sqsh programs:

	CREATE TABLE sessions (
	   id	      CHAR(32) not null primary key,
	   a_session  TEXT
	)
	go

       If you use some other command, ensure that there is a unique index on the id column of the table

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

       Example:

	tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Sybase', $id, {
	    DataSource => 'dbi:Sybase:database=db;server=server',
	    UserName   => 'database_user',
	    Password   => 'K00l',
	    Commit     => 1,
	};

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

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

       Additional arguments you can pass to the backing store are:

       Commit - whether we should commit any changes; if you pass in an already-open database handle that has AutoCommit set to a true value, you
       do not need to set this. If you let Apache::Session::Store::Sybase create your database, handle, you must set this to a true value,
       otherwise, your changes will not be saved
       textsize - the value we should pass to the 'set textsize ' command that sets the max size of the IMAGE field. Default is 32K (at least in
       Sybase ASE 11.9.2).

AUTHOR

       This module was based on Apache::Session::Store::Oracle which was written by Jeffrey William Baker <jwbaker@acm.org>; it was modified by
       Chris Winters <chris@cwinters.com> to work with Apache::Session 1.5+ with changes from earlier version of Apache::Session::DBI::Sybase from
       Mark Landry <mdlandry@lincoln.midcoast.com>.
