DBIx::C...AutoCast(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, this page is DBIx::C...AutoCast(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the actual module is DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::AutoCast — it’s the storage component for RDBMS requiring explicit placeholder typing. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

  $schema->storage->auto_cast(1);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here’s the vibe: in some combinations of RDBMS and DBD drivers (e.g. FreeTDS and Sybase), statements with values bound to columns or conditions that are not strings will throw implicit type conversion errors. not iconic of them, but okay.

As long as a column data_type is defined and resolves to a base RDBMS native type via _native_data_type as defined in your Storage driver, the placeholder for this column will be converted to:

  CAST(? as $mapped_type)

This option can also be enabled in connect_info as:

on_connect_call => ['set_auto_cast']

🎀 connect_call_set_auto_cast 🎀

This one executes:

$schema->storage->auto_cast(1);

on connection.

Used as:

    on_connect_call => ['set_auto_cast']

in connect_info.
