928f0af8 27DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase - Sybase support for DBIx::Class
98259fe4 28
29=head1 SYNOPSIS
30
31This subclass supports L<DBD::Sybase> for real Sybase databases. If you are
32using an MSSQL database via L<DBD::Sybase>, your storage will be reblessed to
33L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::Microsoft_SQL_Server>.
34
35=head1 DESCRIPTION
36
37If your version of Sybase does not support placeholders, then your storage
38will be reblessed to L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::NoBindVars>. You can
39also enable that driver explicitly, see the documentation for more details.
40
41With this driver there is unfortunately no way to get the C<last_insert_id>
310a0a0a 42without doing a C<SELECT MAX(col)>. This is done safely in a transaction
322b7a6b 43(locking the table.) See L</INSERTS WITH PLACEHOLDERS>.
98259fe4 44
61cfaef7 45A recommended L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI/connect_info> setting:
98259fe4 46
61cfaef7 47 on_connect_call => [['datetime_setup'], ['blob_setup', log_on_update => 0]]

63d46bb3 168
169Does C<< $dbh->{syb_binary_images} = 1; >> to return C<IMAGE> data as raw binary
170instead of as a hex string.
171

efe75aaa 641=head1 Schema::Loader Support
642
643There is an experimental branch of L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader> that will
644allow you to dump a schema from most (if not all) versions of Sybase.
645
646It is available via subversion from:
647
07a5866e 648 http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/branches/DBIx-Class-Schema-Loader/current/
efe75aaa 649
e97a6ee2 650=head1 FreeTDS
651
652This driver supports L<DBD::Sybase> compiled against FreeTDS
653(L<http://www.freetds.org/>) to the best of our ability, however it is
654recommended that you recompile L<DBD::Sybase> against the Sybase Open Client
655libraries. They are a part of the Sybase ASE distribution:
656
657The Open Client FAQ is here:
658L<http://www.isug.com/Sybase_FAQ/ASE/section7.html>.
659
660Sybase ASE for Linux (which comes with the Open Client libraries) may be
661downloaded here: L<http://response.sybase.com/forms/ASE_Linux_Download>.
662
663To see if you're using FreeTDS check C<< $schema->storage->using_freetds >>, or run:
664
665 perl -MDBI -le 'my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $pass); print $dbh->{syb_oc_version}'
666
667Some versions of the libraries involved will not support placeholders, in which
668case the storage will be reblessed to
669L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::NoBindVars>.
670
07a5866e 671In some configurations, placeholders will work but will throw implicit type
e97a6ee2 672conversion errors for anything that's not expecting a string. In such a case,
07a5866e 673the C<auto_cast> option from L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::AutoCast> is
674automatically set, which you may enable on connection with
675L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::AutoCast/connect_call_set_auto_cast>. The type info
676for the C<CAST>s is taken from the L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource/data_type>
677definitions in your Result classes, and are mapped to a Sybase type (if it isn't
678already) using a mapping based on L<SQL::Translator>.
e97a6ee2 679
680In other configurations, placeholers will work just as they do with the Sybase
681Open Client libraries.
682
683Inserts or updates of TEXT/IMAGE columns will B<NOT> work with FreeTDS.
684
322b7a6b 685=head1 INSERTS WITH PLACEHOLDERS
686
687With placeholders enabled, inserts are done in a transaction so that there are
688no concurrency issues with getting the inserted identity value using
689C<SELECT MAX(col)>, which is the only way to get the C<IDENTITY> value in this
690mode.
691
6fcb1409 692In addition, they are done on a separate connection so that it's possible to
693have active cursors when doing an insert.
694
322b7a6b 695When using C<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::NoBindVars> transactions are
696disabled, as there are no concurrency issues with C<SELECT @@IDENTITY> as it's a
697session variable.
698
166c6561 699=head1 TRANSACTIONS
700
701Due to limitations of the TDS protocol, L<DBD::Sybase>, or both; you cannot
702begin a transaction while there are active cursors. An active cursor is, for
703example, a L<ResultSet|DBIx::Class::ResultSet> that has been executed using
704C<next> or C<first> but has not been exhausted or
75227502 705L<reset|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/reset>.
166c6561 706
322b7a6b 707For example, this will not work:
708
709 $schema->txn_do(sub {
710 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Book');
711 while (my $row = $rs->next) {
712 $schema->resultset('MetaData')->create({
713 book_id => $row->id,
714 ...
715 });
716 }
717 });
718
166c6561 719Transactions done for inserts in C<AutoCommit> mode when placeholders are in use
6fcb1409 720are not affected, as they are done on an extra database handle.
75227502 721
722Some workarounds:
723
724=over 4
725
75227502 726=item * use L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated>
727
728=item * L<connect|DBIx::Class::Schema/connect> another L<Schema|DBIx::Class::Schema>
729
730=item * load the data from your cursor with L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/all>
731
75227502 732=back
166c6561 733
41c93b1b 734=head1 MAXIMUM CONNECTIONS
735
e97a6ee2 736The TDS protocol makes separate connections to the server for active statements
737in the background. By default the number of such connections is limited to 25,
738on both the client side and the server side.
41c93b1b 739
e97a6ee2 740This is a bit too low for a complex L<DBIx::Class> application, so on connection
741the client side setting is set to C<256> (see L<DBD::Sybase/maxConnect>.) You
742can override it to whatever setting you like in the DSN.
41c93b1b 743
744See
745L<http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.help.ase_15.0.sag1/html/sag1/sag1272.htm>
746for information on changing the setting on the server side.

e97a6ee2 753=head1 TEXT/IMAGE COLUMNS
63d46bb3 754
a3a526cc 755L<DBD::Sybase> compiled with FreeTDS will B<NOT> allow you to insert or update
756C<TEXT/IMAGE> columns.
757
e97a6ee2 758Setting C<< $dbh->{LongReadLen} >> will also not work with FreeTDS use either:
759
760 $schema->storage->dbh->do("SET TEXTSIZE $bytes");
a3a526cc 761
e97a6ee2 762or
763
764 $schema->storage->set_textsize($bytes);
a3a526cc 765
766instead.
5703eb14 767
e97a6ee2 768However, the C<LongReadLen> you pass in
769L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI/connect_info> is used to execute the equivalent
770C<SET TEXTSIZE> command on connection.
771
63d46bb3 772See L</connect_call_blob_setup> for a L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI/connect_info>
773setting you need to work with C<IMAGE> columns.
