SYNOPSIS

See the SYNOPSIS of Rosetta::Engine::Generic, which this module sub-classes; substitute "Generic" for "GenericAC" as appropriate.

DESCRIPTION

This module is a reference implementation of fundamental Rosetta features.

The Rosetta::Engine::GenericAC Perl 5 module is a sub-class of Rosetta::Engine::Generic and implements a few behaviour changes, mainly to support database products that lack native transaction support. For all intents and purposes, this module is an optional drop-in replacement for the parent. While the parent will always use transactions and require explicit commits for database actions to be saved, GenericAC will auto-commit every database action (explicitly on transaction-supporting databases, and that just happens anyway on non-supporting ones), so separate commits are not necessary.

See Rosetta::Engine::Generic for more information.

SUPPORTED ROSETTA FEATURES

Rosetta::Engine::GenericAC declares support for all of the same Rosetta Native Interface features that its parent supports, but with the explicit exception of the following, which are *not* supported:
