This software provides a means for storing and retrieving complex data structures by mapping them onto SQL databases. It allows developers to use object-oriented programming paradigms while seamlessly integrating with existing SQL databases.
With Persistence::Database::SQL, you can create a new database handle and initialize it with relevant information like the database engine, the name of the database, table name, and a template hashref. This module also allows for searching for objects through keys and regular expressions.
Additionally, Persistence::Database::SQL also lets you iterate through returned objects, move them to an expired object table, and expire them. The module then generates DBMS fields out of the object data through the template mapping object properties to PostgreSQL class fields. This allows you to use SQL indexing and querying facilities on your database of persistent objects.
The module also provides access to the database handle and allows for the execution of arbitrary SQL queries. This feature makes it easier to perform more complex data manipulations on the database.
Overall, Persistence::Database::SQL is an excellent module for anyone looking to create a persistent object store in SQL databases with Perl.
