I have a package that returns a DBI handle when called, using connect_cached,
without Apache::DBI (see package Marica::db_handle below)
For each request I do :
In the PerlHeaderParserHandler
my $dbh = Marica::db_handle::get_dbh_data( $database,
$r->pnotes('session')->{preferred_datestyle} ) ;
$r->pnotes( 'dbh' => $dbh ) ;
Then in the PerlResponseHandler
my $dbh = $r->pnotes('dbh') ;
my $data_set = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( $sql ) ;
It's very convenient, all my modules use this, and I only have one place to
edit the database connection if needed.
If I understand correctly, I could also use Apache::DBI and a persistent
connection for a similar result, modulo what you wrote in an earlier message
regarding the connection being more explicit (which I don't quite grasp, I'll
have to study on that)?
package Marica::db_handle ;
use strict ;
use warnings ;
sub get_dbh_data {
my $db_name = shift ;
#paramètre d'affichage des dates; les caches de connection en tiennent
compte
my $preferred_datestyle = shift || 'iso' ;
my $dbh = DBI->connect_cached( "DBI:Pg:dbname=$db_name", 'www-data', undef,
{
PrintError => 1,
RaiseError => 1,
AutoCommit => 1,
pg_bool_tf => 1,
private_preferred_datestyle => $preferred_datestyle } )
or die "Cannot connect to db: $DBI::errstr" ;
return $dbh ;
}
