NAME
DBD::Gofer::Transport::stream - DBD::Gofer transport for stdio streaming
SYNOPSIS
DBI->connect('dbi:Gofer:transport=stream;url=ssh:username AT host.com;dsn=dbi:...',...)
or, enable by setting the DBI_AUTOPROXY environment variable:
export DBI_AUTOPROXY='dbi:Gofer:transport=stream;url=ssh:username AT host.com'
DESCRIPTION
Without the "url=" parameter it launches a subprocess as
perl -MDBI::Gofer::Transport::stream -e run_stdio_hex
and feeds requests into it and reads responses from it. But that's not very useful.
With a "url=ssh:username AT host.com" parameter it uses ssh to launch the subprocess
on a remote system. That's much more useful!
It gives you secure remote access to DBI databases on any system you can login to. Using
ssh also gives you optional compression and many other features (see the ssh manual for
how to configure that and many other options via ~/.ssh/config file).
The actual command invoked is something like:
ssh -xq ssh:username AT host.com bash -c $setup $run
where $run is the command shown above, and $command is
. .bash_profile 2>/dev/null || . .bash_login 2>/dev/null || . .profile 2>/dev/null; exec "$@"
which is trying (in a limited and fairly unportable way) to setup the environment (PATH,
PERL5LIB etc) as it would be if you had logged in to that system.
The ""perl"" used in the command will default to the value of $^X when not using ssh. On
most systems that's the full path to the perl that's currently executing.
PERSISTENCE
Currently gofer stream connections persist (remain connected) after all database handles
have been disconnected. This makes later connections in the same process very fast.
Currently up to 5 different gofer stream connections (based on url) can persist. If more
than 5 are in the cache when a new connection is made then the cache is cleared before
adding the new connection. Simple but effective.
TO DO
Document go_perl attribute
Automatically reconnect (within reason) if there's a transport error.
Decide on default for persistent connection - on or off? limits? ttl?
