34 DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::ASE - Sybase ASE SQL Server support for
39 This subclass supports L<DBD::Sybase> for real (non-Microsoft) Sybase databases.
43 If your version of Sybase does not support placeholders, then your storage will
44 be reblessed to L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::ASE::NoBindVars>.
45 You can also enable that driver explicitly, see the documentation for more
48 With this driver there is unfortunately no way to get the C<last_insert_id>
49 without doing a C<SELECT MAX(col)>. This is done safely in a transaction
50 (locking the table.) See L</INSERTS WITH PLACEHOLDERS>.
52 A recommended L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI/connect_info> setting:
54 on_connect_call => [['datetime_setup'], ['blob_setup', log_on_update => 0]]

934 =head1 Schema::Loader Support
936 There is an experimental branch of L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader> that will
937 allow you to dump a schema from most (if not all) versions of Sybase.
939 It is available via subversion from:
941 http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/branches/DBIx-Class-Schema-Loader/current/
945 This driver supports L<DBD::Sybase> compiled against FreeTDS
946 (L<http://www.freetds.org/>) to the best of our ability, however it is
947 recommended that you recompile L<DBD::Sybase> against the Sybase Open Client
948 libraries. They are a part of the Sybase ASE distribution:
950 The Open Client FAQ is here:
951 L<http://www.isug.com/Sybase_FAQ/ASE/section7.html>.
953 Sybase ASE for Linux (which comes with the Open Client libraries) may be
954 downloaded here: L<http://response.sybase.com/forms/ASE_Linux_Download>.
956 To see if you're using FreeTDS check C<< $schema->storage->using_freetds >>, or run:
958 perl -MDBI -le 'my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $pass); print $dbh->{syb_oc_version}'
960 Some versions of the libraries involved will not support placeholders, in which
961 case the storage will be reblessed to
962 L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::ASE::NoBindVars>.
964 In some configurations, placeholders will work but will throw implicit type
965 conversion errors for anything that's not expecting a string. In such a case,
966 the C<auto_cast> option from L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::AutoCast> is
967 automatically set, which you may enable on connection with
968 L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::AutoCast/connect_call_set_auto_cast>. The type info
969 for the C<CAST>s is taken from the L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource/data_type>
970 definitions in your Result classes, and are mapped to a Sybase type (if it isn't
971 already) using a mapping based on L<SQL::Translator>.
973 In other configurations, placeholers will work just as they do with the Sybase
974 Open Client libraries.
976 Inserts or updates of TEXT/IMAGE columns will B<NOT> work with FreeTDS.
978 =head1 INSERTS WITH PLACEHOLDERS
980 With placeholders enabled, inserts are done in a transaction so that there are
981 no concurrency issues with getting the inserted identity value using
982 C<SELECT MAX(col)>, which is the only way to get the C<IDENTITY> value in this
985 In addition, they are done on a separate connection so that it's possible to
986 have active cursors when doing an insert.
988 When using C<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::ASE::NoBindVars> transactions
989 are disabled, as there are no concurrency issues with C<SELECT @@IDENTITY> as
990 it's a session variable.
994 Due to limitations of the TDS protocol, L<DBD::Sybase>, or both; you cannot
995 begin a transaction while there are active cursors; nor can you use multiple
996 active cursors within a transaction. An active cursor is, for example, a
997 L<ResultSet|DBIx::Class::ResultSet> that has been executed using C<next> or
998 C<first> but has not been exhausted or L<reset|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/reset>.
1000 For example, this will not work:
1002 $schema->txn_do(sub {
1003 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Book');
1004 while (my $row = $rs->next) {
1005 $schema->resultset('MetaData')->create({
1006 book_id => $row->id,
1014 my $first_row = $large_rs->first;
1015 $schema->txn_do(sub { ... });
1017 Transactions done for inserts in C<AutoCommit> mode when placeholders are in use
1018 are not affected, as they are done on an extra database handle.
1024 =item * use L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated>
1026 =item * L<connect|DBIx::Class::Schema/connect> another L<Schema|DBIx::Class::Schema>
1028 =item * load the data from your cursor with L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/all>
1032 =head1 MAXIMUM CONNECTIONS
1034 The TDS protocol makes separate connections to the server for active statements
1035 in the background. By default the number of such connections is limited to 25,
1036 on both the client side and the server side.
1038 This is a bit too low for a complex L<DBIx::Class> application, so on connection
1039 the client side setting is set to C<256> (see L<DBD::Sybase/maxConnect>.) You
1040 can override it to whatever setting you like in the DSN.
1043 L<http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.help.ase_15.0.sag1/html/sag1/sag1272.htm>
1044 for information on changing the setting on the server side.
1048 See L</connect_call_datetime_setup> to setup date formats
1049 for L<DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime>.
1051 =head1 TEXT/IMAGE COLUMNS
1053 L<DBD::Sybase> compiled with FreeTDS will B<NOT> allow you to insert or update
1054 C<TEXT/IMAGE> columns.
1056 Setting C<< $dbh->{LongReadLen} >> will also not work with FreeTDS use either:
1058 $schema->storage->dbh->do("SET TEXTSIZE $bytes");
1062 $schema->storage->set_textsize($bytes);
1066 However, the C<LongReadLen> you pass in
1067 L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI/connect_info> is used to execute the equivalent
1068 C<SET TEXTSIZE> command on connection.
1070 See L</connect_call_blob_setup> for a L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI/connect_info>
1071 setting you need to work with C<IMAGE> columns.
1075 The experimental L<DBD::Sybase> Bulk API support is used for
1076 L<populate|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/populate> in B<void> context, in a transaction
1077 on a separate connection.
1079 To use this feature effectively, use a large number of rows for each
1080 L<populate|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/populate> call, eg.:
1082 while (my $rows = $data_source->get_100_rows()) {
1083 $rs->populate($rows);
1086 B<NOTE:> the L<add_columns|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_columns>
1087 calls in your C<Result> classes B<must> list columns in database order for this
1088 to work. Also, you may have to unset the C<LANG> environment variable before
1089 loading your app, if it doesn't match the character set of your database.
1091 When inserting IMAGE columns using this method, you'll need to use
1092 L</connect_call_blob_setup> as well.
1100 Transitions to AutoCommit=0 (starting a transaction) mode by exhausting
1101 any active cursors, using eager cursors.
1105 Real limits and limited counts using stored procedures deployed on startup.
1109 Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA) support, with possible SQLA::Limit support.
1113 Blob update with a LIKE query on a blob, without invalidating the WHERE condition.
1117 bulk_insert using prepare_cached (see comments.)
