DBD::Go...:classic(3)

💖 DBD::Gofer::Policy::classic — the manual page, but make it make sense ✨

okay bestie, this is the page for DBD::Gofer::Policy::classic — the classic policy for DBD::Gofer. It's a Perl module page, part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and honestly? Short. Iconic, but short. Let's go 🫶

🌈 NAME 🌈

DBD::Gofer::Policy::classic — the 'classic' policy for DBD::Gofer. That's it, that's the whole name section, she's compact 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Gofer:transport=...;policy=classic", ...)

okay so here's the tea ☕ — the "classic" policy is the default DBD::Gofer policy. Which means you literally do not need to put it in your DSN at all. It's the default default. The main character who shows up without being summoned 👑 So specifying policy=classic is fully valid, it's just optional, bestie. You do you.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Temporary docs, ngl: for a list of the policies and their defaults, go look at the source code. That's where they live right now, fr fr 📜

And heads up for the future — in a future version, the policies and their defaults are gonna be defined in the pod and parsed out at load-time. So this whole situation is a work in progress. It's giving ✨in development✨ and we love that for it.

⚠️ Don't be out here expecting a big juicy list of policies and defaults on this page. As of right now the page itself says: check the source code. No cap. 🙈
