=head1 NAME
DBD::Gofer::Policy::Base - Base class for DBD::Gofer policies
=head1 SYNOPSIS
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Gofer:transport=...;policy=...", ...)
=head1 DESCRIPTION
DBD::Gofer can be configured via a 'policy' mechanism that allows you to
fine-tune the number of round-trips to the Gofer server. The policies are
grouped into classes (which may be subclassed) and referenced by the name of
the class.
The L<DBD::Gofer::Policy::Base> class is the base class for all the policy
classes and describes all the individual policy items.
The Base policy is not used directly. You should use a policy class derived from it.
=head1 POLICY CLASSES
Three policy classes are supplied with DBD::Gofer:
L<DBD::Gofer::Policy::pedantic> is most 'transparent' but slowest because it
makes more round-trips to the Gofer server.
L<DBD::Gofer::Policy::classic> is a reasonable compromise - it's the default policy.
L<DBD::Gofer::Policy::rush> is fastest, but may require code changes in your applications.
Generally the default C<classic> policy is fine. When first testing an existing
application with Gofer it is a good idea to start with the C<pedantic> policy
first and then switch to C<classic> or a custom policy, for final testing.
=head1 POLICY ITEMS
These are temporary docs: See the source code for list of policies and their defaults.
In a future version the policies and their defaults will be defined in the pod and parsed out at load-time.
See the source code to this module for more details.
=head1 POLICY CUSTOMIZATION
XXX This area of DBD::Gofer is subject to change.
There are three ways to customize policies:
Policy classes are designed to influence the overall behaviour of DBD::Gofer
with existing, unaltered programs, so they work in a reasonably optimal way
without requiring code changes. You can implement new policy classes as
subclasses of existing policies.
In many cases individual policy items can be overridden on a case-by-case basis
within your application code. You do this by passing a corresponding
C<<go_<policy_name>>> attribute into DBI methods by your application code.
This let's you fine-tune the behaviour for special cases.
The policy items are implemented as methods. In many cases the methods are
passed parameters relating to the DBD::Gofer code being executed. This means
the policy can implement dynamic behaviour that varies depending on the
particular circumstances, such as the particular statement being executed.
