NAME

DBIO::Oracle::Type - Oracle type mapping utilities

VERSION

version 0.900001

DESCRIPTION

Consolidated Oracle type mapping logic used by DBIO::Oracle::Storage, DBIO::Oracle::DDL, DBIO::Oracle::Introspect::Columns, and DBIO::Oracle::Diff::Column.

$self->is_lob_type($data_type)

Returns true if the given data-type string names a LOB type. Operates on the plain data_type string carried by a bind's sqlt_datatype (e.g. 'clob', 'blob', 'text'), matching the semantics of the upstream "_is_lob_type" in DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI. The leading $self is ignored; it exists so the function can be called as a method via the storage wrapper.

$self->is_text_lob_type($data_type)

Returns true if the data-type string names a text LOB (CLOB/NCLOB), false for a binary LOB. Mirrors "_is_text_lob_type" in DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI.

DBIO::Oracle::Type::oracle_lob_bind_attrs($is_text)

Returns the bind attributes for a LOB bind (ora_type => ORA_BLOB or ORA_CLOB).

DBIO::Oracle::Type::normalize_type($type)

Normalizes an Oracle data type string for comparison (uppercase, collapse whitespace).

DBIO::Oracle::Type::map_dbd_type_to_dbio($data_type, %args)

Maps an Oracle data type string (from ALL_TAB_COLUMNS) to a DBIO canonical type name. %args may include nchar_size_factor for UTF-16 correction.

Returns a hashref with keys: data_type, size, not_null, etc.

DBIO::Oracle::Type::map_dbio_type_to_oracle($dbio_type, %args)

Maps a DBIO canonical type name to an Oracle DDL type string. %args may include size for VARCHAR2(n) etc.
