.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBmysql\fR stores session records in a MySQL table. For details see CGI::Session::Driver::DBI, its parent class.
.PP
It's especially important for the MySQL driver that the session \s-1ID\s0 column be
defined as a primary key, or at least \*(L"unique\*(R", like this:
.PP
.Vb 4
\& CREATE TABLE sessions (
\& id CHAR(32) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
\& a_session TEXT NOT NULL
\& );
.Ve
.PP
To use different column names, change the 'create table' statement, and then simply do this:
.PP
.Vb 7
\& $s = CGI::Session\->new(\*(Aqdriver:mysql\*(Aq, undef,
\& {
\& TableName=>\*(Aqsession\*(Aq,
\& IdColName=>\*(Aqmy_id\*(Aq,
\& DataColName=>\*(Aqmy_data\*(Aq,
\& DataSource=>\*(Aqdbi:mysql:project\*(Aq,
\& });
.Ve
.PP
or
.PP
.Vb 7
\& $s = CGI::Session\->new(\*(Aqdriver:mysql\*(Aq, undef,
\& {
\& TableName=>\*(Aqsession\*(Aq,
\& IdColName=>\*(Aqmy_id\*(Aq,
\& DataColName=>\*(Aqmy_data\*(Aq,
\& Handle=>$dbh,
\& });
.Ve
.SS "\s-1DRIVER ARGUMENTS\s0"
.IX Subsection "DRIVER ARGUMENTS"
\&\fBmysql\fR driver supports all the arguments documented in CGI::Session::Driver::DBI. In addition, \fIDataSource\fR argument can optionally leave leading \*(L"dbi:mysql:\*(R" string out:
.PP
.Vb 3
\& $s = CGI::Session\->new( \*(Aqdriver:mysql\*(Aq, $sid, {DataSource=>\*(Aqshopping_cart\*(Aq});
\& # is the same as:
\& $s = CGI::Session\->new( \*(Aqdriver:mysql\*(Aq, $sid, {DataSource=>\*(Aqdbi:mysql:shopping_cart\*(Aq});
.Ve
.SS "\s-1BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY\s0"
.IX Subsection "BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY"
As of V 4.30, the global variable \f(CW$CGI::Session::MySQL::TABLE_NAME\fR cannot be used to set the session
table's name.
.PP
This is due to changes in CGI::Session::Driver's \fBnew()\fR method, which now allows the table's name to be
changed (as well as allowing both the 'id' column name and the 'a_session' column name to be changed).
.PP
See the documentation for CGI::Session::Driver::DBI for details.
.PP
In particular, the new syntax for \f(CW\*(C`new()\*(C'\fR applies to all database drivers, whereas the old \- and bad \-
global variable method only applied to MySQL.
.PP
Alternately, call \f(CW$session\fR \-> table_name('new_name') just after creating the session object if you wish to
change the session table's name.
