32 DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase - Sybase support for DBIx::Class
36 This subclass supports L<DBD::Sybase> for real Sybase databases. If you are
37 using an MSSQL database via L<DBD::Sybase>, your storage will be reblessed to
38 L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::Microsoft_SQL_Server>.
42 If your version of Sybase does not support placeholders, then your storage
43 will be reblessed to L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::NoBindVars>. You can
44 also enable that driver explicitly, see the documentation for more details.
46 With this driver there is unfortunately no way to get the C<last_insert_id>
47 without doing a C<SELECT MAX(col)>. This is done safely in a transaction
48 (locking the table.) See L</INSERTS WITH PLACEHOLDERS>.
50 A recommended L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI/connect_info> setting:
52 on_connect_call => [['datetime_setup'], ['blob_setup', log_on_update => 0]]

943 =head1 Schema::Loader Support
945 There is an experimental branch of L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader> that will
946 allow you to dump a schema from most (if not all) versions of Sybase.
948 It is available via subversion from:
950 http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/branches/DBIx-Class-Schema-Loader/current/
954 This driver supports L<DBD::Sybase> compiled against FreeTDS
955 (L<http://www.freetds.org/>) to the best of our ability, however it is
956 recommended that you recompile L<DBD::Sybase> against the Sybase Open Client
957 libraries. They are a part of the Sybase ASE distribution:
959 The Open Client FAQ is here:
960 L<http://www.isug.com/Sybase_FAQ/ASE/section7.html>.
962 Sybase ASE for Linux (which comes with the Open Client libraries) may be
963 downloaded here: L<http://response.sybase.com/forms/ASE_Linux_Download>.
965 To see if you're using FreeTDS check C<< $schema->storage->using_freetds >>, or run:
967 perl -MDBI -le 'my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $pass); print $dbh->{syb_oc_version}'
969 Some versions of the libraries involved will not support placeholders, in which
970 case the storage will be reblessed to
971 L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::NoBindVars>.
973 In some configurations, placeholders will work but will throw implicit type
974 conversion errors for anything that's not expecting a string. In such a case,
975 the C<auto_cast> option from L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::AutoCast> is
976 automatically set, which you may enable on connection with
977 L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::AutoCast/connect_call_set_auto_cast>. The type info
978 for the C<CAST>s is taken from the L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource/data_type>
979 definitions in your Result classes, and are mapped to a Sybase type (if it isn't
980 already) using a mapping based on L<SQL::Translator>.
982 In other configurations, placeholers will work just as they do with the Sybase
983 Open Client libraries.
985 Inserts or updates of TEXT/IMAGE columns will B<NOT> work with FreeTDS.
987 =head1 INSERTS WITH PLACEHOLDERS
989 With placeholders enabled, inserts are done in a transaction so that there are
990 no concurrency issues with getting the inserted identity value using
991 C<SELECT MAX(col)>, which is the only way to get the C<IDENTITY> value in this
994 In addition, they are done on a separate connection so that it's possible to
995 have active cursors when doing an insert.
997 When using C<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::NoBindVars> transactions are
998 disabled, as there are no concurrency issues with C<SELECT @@IDENTITY> as it's a
1003 Due to limitations of the TDS protocol, L<DBD::Sybase>, or both; you cannot
1004 begin a transaction while there are active cursors; nor can you use multiple
1005 active cursors within a transaction. An active cursor is, for example, a
1006 L<ResultSet|DBIx::Class::ResultSet> that has been executed using C<next> or
1007 C<first> but has not been exhausted or L<reset|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/reset>.
1009 For example, this will not work:
1011 $schema->txn_do(sub {
1012 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Book');
1013 while (my $row = $rs->next) {
1014 $schema->resultset('MetaData')->create({
1015 book_id => $row->id,
1023 my $first_row = $large_rs->first;
1024 $schema->txn_do(sub { ... });
1026 Transactions done for inserts in C<AutoCommit> mode when placeholders are in use
1027 are not affected, as they are done on an extra database handle.
1033 =item * use L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated>
1035 =item * L<connect|DBIx::Class::Schema/connect> another L<Schema|DBIx::Class::Schema>
1037 =item * load the data from your cursor with L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/all>
1041 =head1 MAXIMUM CONNECTIONS
1043 The TDS protocol makes separate connections to the server for active statements
1044 in the background. By default the number of such connections is limited to 25,
1045 on both the client side and the server side.
1047 This is a bit too low for a complex L<DBIx::Class> application, so on connection
1048 the client side setting is set to C<256> (see L<DBD::Sybase/maxConnect>.) You
1049 can override it to whatever setting you like in the DSN.
1052 L<http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.help.ase_15.0.sag1/html/sag1/sag1272.htm>
1053 for information on changing the setting on the server side.
1057 See L</connect_call_datetime_setup> to setup date formats
1058 for L<DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime>.
1060 =head1 TEXT/IMAGE COLUMNS
1062 L<DBD::Sybase> compiled with FreeTDS will B<NOT> allow you to insert or update
1063 C<TEXT/IMAGE> columns.
1065 Setting C<< $dbh->{LongReadLen} >> will also not work with FreeTDS use either:
1067 $schema->storage->dbh->do("SET TEXTSIZE $bytes");
1071 $schema->storage->set_textsize($bytes);
1075 However, the C<LongReadLen> you pass in
1076 L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI/connect_info> is used to execute the equivalent
1077 C<SET TEXTSIZE> command on connection.
1079 See L</connect_call_blob_setup> for a L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI/connect_info>
1080 setting you need to work with C<IMAGE> columns.
1084 The experimental L<DBD::Sybase> Bulk API support is used for
1085 L<populate|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/populate> in B<void> context, in a transaction
1086 on a separate connection.
1088 To use this feature effectively, use a large number of rows for each
1089 L<populate|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/populate> call, eg.:
1091 while (my $rows = $data_source->get_100_rows()) {
1092 $rs->populate($rows);
1095 B<NOTE:> the L<add_columns|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_columns>
1096 calls in your C<Result> classes B<must> list columns in database order for this
1097 to work. Also, you may have to unset the C<LANG> environment variable before
1098 loading your app, if it doesn't match the character set of your database.
1100 When inserting IMAGE columns using this method, you'll need to use
1101 L</connect_call_blob_setup> as well.
1109 Transitions to AutoCommit=0 (starting a transaction) mode by exhausting
1110 any active cursors, using eager cursors.
1114 Real limits and limited counts using stored procedures deployed on startup.
1118 Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA) support, with possible SQLA::Limit support.
1122 Blob update with a LIKE query on a blob, without invalidating the WHERE condition.
1126 bulk_insert using prepare_cached (see comments.)
1132 See L<DBIx::Class/CONTRIBUTORS>.
