NAME

       Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Scalar - Scalar column metadata.

SYNOPSIS

         use Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Scalar;

         $col = Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Scalar->new(...);
         $col->make_methods(...);
         ...

DESCRIPTION

       Objects of this class store and manipulate metadata for scalar columns in a database.
       Column metadata objects store information about columns (data type, size, etc.) and are
       responsible for creating object methods that manipulate column values.

       This class inherits from Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column. Inherited methods that are
       not overridden will not be documented a second time here.  See the
       Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column documentation for more information.

METHOD MAP

       "get_set"
           Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, scalar, "interface => 'get_set', ..."

       "get"
           Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, scalar, "interface => 'get', ..."

       "get_set"
           Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, scalar, "interface => 'set', ..."

       See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column documentation for an explanation of this method
       map.

OBJECT METHODS

       check_in [ARRAYREF]
           Get or set a reference to an array of valid column values.

       default VALUE
           Get or set the default value for the column.

       init_method [NAME]
           Get or set the name of the "init" method.  See the documentation for the "scalar"
           method type in Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic for more information.

       length [INT]
           Get or set the length of the column in characters.

       overflow [BEHAVIOR]
           Get or set the setting that determines the behavior when the column value is greater
           than length characters.  Valid values for BEHAVIOR are:

           fatal
               Throw an exception.

           truncate
               Truncate the column value to the correct length.

           warn
               Print a warning message.

           The default value is "fatal".

       type
           Returns "scalar".

       with_init [BOOL]
           Get or set the flag that determines whether or not the method created by
           "make_method()" will include an "init" method as well.  See the documentation for the
           scalar method type in Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic for more information.
