NAME

DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::AutoCast - Storage component for RDBMS requiring explicit placeholder typing

SYNOPSIS

$schema->storage->auto_cast(1);

DESCRIPTION

In some combinations of RDBMS and DBD drivers (e.g. FreeTDS and Sybase) statements with values bound to columns or conditions that are not strings will throw implicit type conversion errors.

As long as a column data_type is defined, and it resolves to a base RDBMS native type via "_native_data_type" as defined in your Storage driver, the placeholder for this column will be converted to:

CAST(? as $mapped_type)

This option can also be enabled in "connect_info" in DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI as:

on_connect_call => ['set_auto_cast']

connect_call_set_auto_cast

Executes:

$schema->storage->auto_cast(1);

on connection.

Used as:

on_connect_call => ['set_auto_cast']

in "connect_info" in DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI.
