NAME

       DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::SQLAnywhere - Driver for SQL Anywhere

DESCRIPTION

       This class implements autoincrements for SQL Anywhere and provides
       DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime support and support for the "uniqueidentifier" type
       (via DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::SQLAnywhere::Cursor.)

       You need the "DBD::SQLAnywhere" driver that comes with the SQL Anywhere distribution, NOT
       the one on CPAN. It is usually under a path such as:

         /opt/sqlanywhere11/sdk/perl

       Recommended connect_info settings:

         on_connect_call => 'datetime_setup'

METHODS

   connect_call_datetime_setup
       Used as:

           on_connect_call => 'datetime_setup'

       In connect_info to set the date and timestamp formats (as temporary options for the
       session) for use with DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime.

       The "TIMESTAMP" data type supports up to 6 digits after the decimal point for second
       precision. The full precision is used.

       The "DATE" data type supposedly stores hours and minutes too, according to the
       documentation, but I could not get that to work. It seems to only store the date.

       You will need the DateTime::Format::Strptime module for inflation to work.

MAXIMUM CURSORS

       A DBIx::Class application can use a lot of cursors, due to the usage of prepare_cached.

       The default cursor maximum is 50, which can be a bit too low. This limit can be turned off
       (or increased) by the DBA by executing:

         set option max_statement_count = 0
         set option max_cursor_count    = 0

       Highly recommended.
