NAME

       DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::ADO::Microsoft_SQL_Server - Support for Microsoft SQL Server via DBD::ADO

SYNOPSIS

       This subclass supports MSSQL server connections via DBD::ADO.

DESCRIPTION

       The MSSQL specific functionality is provided by DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::MSSQL.

EXAMPLE DSN

         dbi:ADO:provider=sqlncli10;server=EEEBOX\SQLEXPRESS

CAVEATS

   identities
       "_identity_method" is set to @@identity, as "SCOPE_IDENTITY()" doesn't work with DBD::ADO. See
       "IMPLEMENTATION NOTES" in DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::MSSQL for caveats regarding this.

   truncation bug
       There is a bug with MSSQL ADO providers where data gets truncated based on the size of the bind sizes in
       the first prepare call:

       <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=52048>

       The "ado_size" workaround is used (see "ADO providers" in DBD::ADO) with the approximate maximum size of
       the data_type of the bound column, or 8000 (maximum VARCHAR size) if the data_type is not available.

       Please report problems with this driver and send patches.

   LongReadLen
       "LongReadLen" is set to "LongReadLen * 2 + 1" on connection as it is necessary for some LOB types. Be
       aware of this if you localize this value on the $dbh directly.

   binary data
       Due perhaps to the ado_size workaround we use, and/or other reasons, binary data such as "varbinary"
       column data comes back padded with trailing "NULL" chars.  The Cursor class for this driver
       (DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::ADO::Microsoft_SQL_Server::Cursor) removes them, of course if your binary
       data is actually "NULL" padded that may be an issue to keep in mind when using this driver.

   uniqueidentifier columns
       uniqueidentifier columns come back from ADO wrapped in braces and must be submitted to the MSSQL ADO
       driver wrapped in braces. We take care of this transparently in this driver and the associated Cursor
       class (DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::ADO::Microsoft_SQL_Server::Cursor) so that you don't have to use braces
       in most cases (except in literal SQL, in those cases you will have to add the braces yourself.)

   fractional seconds
       Fractional seconds with DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime are not currently supported, datetimes are
       truncated at the second.
