NAME

EntityModel::DB - database management

DESCRIPTION

Manages database connections and transactions.

new

Create a new EntityModel::DB object.

Does not attempt to connect any database handles, but prepares the context ready for the first request.

dbh

Returns a database handle.

Can only be called within a transaction.

dsn

Data Source string used for connecting to the database.

Currently hardcodes the dbi:Pg: prefix.

select_iterator

Run a select query against the database and return the results as an orderly hash.

active_db

INTERNAL METHODS

_run_query

Run the given query.

_fork_guard

Internal method used to check whether we've forked recently and if so reset the internal state so that we don't try to reuse existing handles.
