APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new

Title   : new
Usage   : my $obj = new Bio::DB::SimpleDBContext();
Function: Builds a new Bio::DB::SimpleDBContext object 
Returns : an instance of Bio::DB::SimpleDBContext
Args    : Named parameters. Currently recognized are
            -dbname    the name of the schema
            -host      the database host (to which to connect)
            -port      the port on the host to which to connect (optional)
            -driver    the DBI driver name for the RDBMS (e.g., mysql,
                       oracle, or Pg)
            -user      the username for connecting
            -pass      the password for the user
            -dsn       the DSN string to use verbatim for connecting;
                       if supplied, other parameters will not change
                       or add to the value (see method dsn())

dsn

Title   : dsn
Usage   : $obj->dsn($newval)
Function: Get/set the DSN for the database connection. 

          The DSN typically contains all non-credential information
          necessary to connect to the database, like driver, database
          or instance name, host, etc. Therefore, setting the DSN
          overrides any other individual properties set before. We
          make an attempt to parse those properties out of the DSN
          string, but, in accordance with the interface contract,
          advise any client to use the dsn verbatim for connecting if
          set and not try to rebuild it from the parsed out
          properties.

          I.e., if you set this property, setting any other
          individual properties will not alter the DSN used for
          connecting to the database. If you query the property, a
          value will not be automatically constructed if only
          individual properties have been set.

Example : 
Returns : value of dsn (a scalar)
Args    : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)

Usage   : $obj->driver($newval)
Function: 
Example : 
Returns : value of driver (a scalar)
Args    : new value (a scalar, optional)

username

Usage   : $obj->password($newval)
Function:

          factory).

          be used as the object adaptor factory for the respective database)
