NAME

DBIx::ParseError::MySQL - Error parser for MySQL

VERSION

version v1.0.4

SYNOPSIS

eval {
my $result = $dbh->do('SELECT 1');
};
if ($@) {
if (DBIx::ParseError::MySQL->new($@)->is_transient) { $dbh->reconnect }
else { die; }
}

DESCRIPTION

This module is a database error categorizer, specifically for MySQL. This module is also compatible with Galera's WSREP errors.

ATTRIBUTES

orig_error

Returns the original, untouched error object or string.

error_string

Returns the stringified version of the error.

error_type

Returns a string that describes the type of error. These can be one of the following:

lock Lock errors, like a lock wait timeout or deadlock
connection Connection/packet failures, disconnections
shutdown Errors that happen when a server is shutting down
duplicate_value Duplicate entry errors
unknown Any other error

is_transient

Returns a true value if the error is the type that is likely transient. For example, errors that recommend retrying transactions or connection failures. This check can be used to figure out if it's worth retrying a transaction.

This is merely a check for the following error types: lock connection shutdown.

CONSTRUCTORS

new

my $parsed_error = DBIx::ParseError::MySQL->new($@);

Returns a DBIx::ParseError::MySQL object. Since the error is the only parameter, it can be passed by itself.

SEE ALSO
