Connecting to a database can be expensive; you don't want your application to re-connect every time you need to run a query. The efficient thing to do is to hang on to a database handle to maintain a connection to the database in order to minimize that overhead. DBIx::Connector lets you do that without having to worry about dropped or corrupted connections. You might be familiar with Apache::DBI and with the DBI's 'connect_cached()' constructor. DBIx::Connector serves a similar need, but does a much better job. How is it different? I'm glad you asked! * * Fork Safety Like Apache::DBI, but unlike 'connect_cached()', DBIx::Connector create a new database connection if a new process has been 'fork'ed. This happens all the time under mod_perl, in POE applications, and elsewhere. Works best with DBI 1.614 and higher. * * Thread Safety Unlike Apache::DBI or 'connect_cached()', DBIx::Connector will create a new database connection if a new thread has been spawned. As with 'fork'ing, spawning a new thread can break database connections. * * Works Anywhere Unlike Apache::DBI, DBIx::Connector runs anywhere -- inside of mod_perl or not. Why limit yourself? * * Explicit Interface DBIx::Connector has an explicit interface. There is none of the magical action-at-a-distance crap that Apache::DBI is guilty of, and no global caching. I've personally diagnosed a few issues with Apache::DBI's magic, and killed it off in two different projects in favor of 'connect_cached()', only to be tripped up by other gotchas. No more. * * Optimistic Execution If you use 'run()' and 'txn()', the database handle will be passed without first pinging the server. For the 99% or more of the time when the database is just there, you'll save a ton of overhead without the ping. DBIx::Connector's other feature is transaction management. Borrowing an interface from DBIx::Class, DBIx::Connector offers an API that efficiently handles the scoping of database transactions so that you needn't worry about managing the transaction yourself. Even better, it offers an API for savepoints if your database supports them. Within a transaction, you can scope savepoints to behave like subtransactions, so that you can save some of your work in a transaction even if part of it fails. See 'txn()' and 'svp()' for the goods. %prep %autosetup -n %{cpan_name}-%{version} %build perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor %make_build %check make test %install %perl_make_install %perl_process_packlist %perl_gen_filelist %files -f %{name}.files %doc Changes README %license LICENSE %changelog
