NAME

Apache::Session::MariaDB - An implementation of Apache::Session using MariaDB

SYNOPSIS

use Apache::Session::MariaDB;

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

tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::MariaDB', $id, {
   DataSource => 'dbi:MariaDB:sessions',
   UserName   => $db_user,
   Password   => $db_pass,
   LockDataSource => 'dbi:MariaDB:sessions',
   LockUserName   => $db_user,
   LockPassword   => $db_pass
};

#or, if your handles are already opened:

tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::MariaDB', $id, {
   Handle     => $dbh,
   LockHandle => $dbh
};

DESCRIPTION

This module is an implementation of Apache::Session. It uses the MariaDB backing store and the MariaDB locking scheme. See the example, and the documentation for Apache::Session::Store::MariaDB and Apache::Session::Lock::MariaDB for more details.

It's based on Apache::Session::MySQL but uses DBD::MariaDB instead of DBD::mysql. The initial reason to create this new module is that DBD::MariaDB requires to explicitly indicate a_session column as binary in DBI's bind_param calls, which is different from DBD::mysql and thus Apache::Session::MySQL doesn't support it.
