NAME
       Apache::Session::Store::Informix - Store persistent data in a Informix
       database

SYNOPSIS
        use Apache::Session::Store::Informix;

        my $store = new Apache::Session::Store::Informix;

        $store->insert($ref);
        $store->update($ref);
        $store->materialize($ref);
        $store->remove($ref);

DESCRIPTION
       Apache::Session::Store::Informix fulfills the storage interface of
       Apache::Session. Session data is stored in a Informix database.

SCHEMA
       To use this module, you will need at least these columns in a table
       called 'sessions':

        id char(32)     # or however long your session IDs are.
        a_session lvarchar

       To create this schema, you can execute this command using the sqlplus
       program:

        CREATE TABLE sessions (
           id char(32) not null primary key,
           a_session lvarchar
        );

       If you use some other command, ensure that there is a unique index on
       the table's id column.

CONFIGURATION
       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, and Password.

       Example:

        tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Informix', $id, {
            DataSource => 'dbi:Informix:database',
            UserName   => 'database_user',
            Password   => 'K00l'
        };

       Instead, you may pass in an already-opened DBI handle to your database.

        tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Informix', $id, {
            Handle => $dbh
        };

       The last option is LongReadLen, which specifies the maximum size of the
       session object.  If not supplied, the default maximum size is 8 KB.
