Apache::Session::Store::Postgres − Store persistent data in a Postgres database

Apache::Session::Store::Postgres fulfills the storage interface of Apache::Session. Session data is stored in a Postgres database.
To use this module, you will need at least these columns in a table called ’sessions’, or another name if you supply the TableName parameter.
id char(32) # or
however long your session IDs are.
a_session text # This has an ˜8 KB limit :(
To create this schema, you can execute this command using the psql program:
CREATE TABLE
sessions (
id char(32) not null primary key,
a_session text
);
If you use some other command, ensure that there is a unique index on the table’s id column.
The module must
know what datasource, username, and password to use when
connecting to the database. These values can be set using
the options hash (see Apache::Session documentation). The
options are:
DataSource
UserName
Password
Handle
TableName
Example:
tie %hash,
'Apache::Session::Postgres', $id, {
DataSource => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=database',
UserName => 'database_user',
Password => 'K00l'
};
Instead, you may pass in an already-opened DBI handle to your database.
tie %hash,
'Apache::Session::Postgres', $id, {
Handle => $dbh
};
