NAME

       Apache::Session::Store::File - Store persistent data on the filesystem

SYNOPSIS

	use Apache::Session::Store::File;

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

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

DESCRIPTION

       This module fulfills the storage interface of Apache::Session.  The serialized objects are stored in files on your filesystem.

OPTIONS

       This module requires one argument in the usual Apache::Session style.  The name of the option is Directory, and the value is the full path
       of the directory where you wish to place the files.  Example

	tie %s, 'Apache::Session::File', undef,
	   {Directory => '/tmp/sessions'};

NOTES

       All session objects are stored in the same directory.  Some filesystems, such as Linux's ext2fs, have O(n) performance where n is the
       number of files in a directory.	Other filesystems, like Sun's UFS, and Linux's reiserfs, do not have this problem.  You should consider
       your filesystem's performance before using this module to store many objects.

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

	use Apache::Session::Store::Postgres;

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

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

DESCRIPTION

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

SCHEMA

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

	id char(32)	# or however long your session IDs are.
	a_session text	# This has an ~8 KB limit :(

       To create this schema, you can execute this command using the psql 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
       Handle
       TableName

       Example:

	tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Postgres', $id, {
	    DataSource => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=database',
	    UserName   => 'database_user',
	    Password   => 'K00l'
	};

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

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