NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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

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

DESCRIPTION

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

METHOD MAP

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

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

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

       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, or padding with
           spaces to be exactly "length" characters long.  DB is a Rose::DB object that may be as part of the
           parsing process.  Both arguments are required.

       type
           Returns "character".
