Apache...:Sybase(3pm)

💖 Apache::Session::Sybase — the manual, but make it make sense

ok bestie, welcome to Apache::Session::Sybase ✨ it's a Perl module (that's what the (3pm) is giving — a perl manpage, iykyk) and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section. Here's the whole vibe.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Apache::Session::Sybase — An implementation of Apache::Session 💅

That's it. That's the name section. Short, sweet, iconic.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so this is literally how you use it:

use Apache::Session::Sybase;

# if you want Apache::Session to open new DB handles:

tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Sybase', $id, {
   DataSource => 'dbi:Sybase:database=sessions;server=SYBASE',
   UserName   => $db_user,
   Password   => $db_pass,
   Commit     => 1,
};

# or, if your handle is already opened:

tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Sybase', $id, {
   Handle     => $dbh,
   Commit     => 0,
};

two paths, bestie 🫶 — either you let Apache::Session open brand new DB handles for you, or you already have your handle opened and you just hand it over. Pick your fighter.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. This module is an implementation of Apache::Session. It uses the Sybase backing store and the Null locking scheme. 💀

That's the whole deal. For the actual details, go read:

• the example up there in the SYNOPSIS 👆
• the documentation for Apache::Session::Store::Sybase — that's where the parameters that get passed to the backing store live, plus the schema you need to save the sessions 📝
• the documentation for Apache::Session::Lock::Null for the rest of the tea ☕

no cap, those two are where the real info is. this page is just the ✨vibe✨.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

💀 heads up bestie: if you need the actual parameters and the database schema, this page does not list them. It says, straight up, to go read Apache::Session::Store::Sybase and Apache::Session::Lock::Null. Don't @ me, @ the docs.
