NAME

       Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Varchar - Variable-length character column metadata.

SYNOPSIS

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

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

DESCRIPTION

       Objects of this class store and manipulate metadata for variable-length character 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::Character. Inherited methods that are not
       overridden will not be documented a second time here.  See the
       Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Character documentation for more information.

METHOD MAP

       "get_set"
           Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, varchar, ...

       "get"
           Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, varchar, ...

       "get_set"
           Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, varchar, ...

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

OBJECT METHODS

       parse_value DB, VALUE
           If "length" is defined, returns VALUE truncated to a maximum of "length" characters.  DB is a
           Rose::DB object that may be used as part of the parsing process.  Both arguments are required.
