NAME

	 DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle::mysql - A mysql specific Handle object

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a subclass of DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle that compensates for some of the idiosyncrasies of MySQL.

METHODS

   Insert
       Takes a table name as the first argument and assumes that the rest of the arguments are an array of key-value pairs to be inserted.

       If the insert succeeds, returns the id of the insert, otherwise, returns a Class::ReturnValue object with the error reported.

   SimpleUpdateFromSelect
       Customization of "SimpleUpdateFromSelect" in DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle.  Mysql doesn't support update with subqueries when those fetch
       data from the table that is updated.

   DatabaseVersion
       Returns the mysql version, trimming off any -foo identifier

   CaseSensitive
       Returns undef, since mysql's searches are not case sensitive by default

   SimpleDateTimeFunctions
       Returns hash reference with specific date time functions of this database for "DateTimeFunction" in DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle.

   ConvertTimezoneFunction
       Custom implementation of "ConvertTimezoneFunction" in DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle.

       Use the following query to get list of timezones:

	   SELECT Name FROM mysql.time_zone_name;

       Read docs about keeping timezone data up to date:
