| Summary : Read Database Large Object Binaries from file handles
|
Description :
DBI has a blob_copy_to_file method which takes a file han-
dle argument and copies a database large object binary
(LOB) to this file handle. However, the method is undocu-
mented and faulty. Constructing a similar method yourself
is pretty simple but what if you wished to read the data
and perform operations on it? You could use the DBI\'s
blob_read method yourself to process chunks of data from
the LOB or even dump its contents into a scalar, but maybe
it would be nice to read the data line by line or piece by
piece from a familiar old filehandle?!
DBIx::BLOB::Handle constructs a tied filehandle that also
extends from IO::Handle and IO::Selectable. It wraps DBI\'s
blob_read method. By making LOB\'s available as a file han-
dle to read from we can process the data in a familiar
(perly) way.
