Name: perl-DBIx-BLOB-Handle
Summary: Read Database Large Object Binaries from file handles
Version: 0.2
Release: 1.2
License: Artistic/GPL
Group: Applications/CPAN
URL: http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBIx-BLOB-Handle/
Description: DBI has a blob_copy_to_file method which takes a file han-
dle argument and copies a database large object binary
(LOB) to this file handle. However, the method is undocu-
mented and faulty. Constructing a similar method yourself
is pretty simple but what if you wished to read the data
and perform operations on it? You could use the DBI's
blob_read method yourself to process chunks of data from
the LOB or even dump its contents into a scalar, but maybe
it would be nice to read the data line by line or piece by
piece from a familiar old filehandle?!
DBIx::BLOB::Handle constructs a tied filehandle that also extends from IO::Handle and IO::Selectable. It wraps DBI's blob_read method. By making LOB's available as a file han- dle to read from we can process the data in a familiar (perly) way.
