NAME

CGI::Session::Driver::sqlite - CGI::Session driver for SQLite

SYNOPSIS

    $s = new CGI::Session("driver:sqlite", $sid, {DataSource=>'/my/folder/sessions.sqlt'});
    $s = new CGI::Session("driver:sqlite", $sid, {Handle=>$dbh});

or

    $s = new CGI::Session('driver:sqlite', undef,
    {
        TableName=>'session',
        IdColName=>'my_id',
        DataColName=>'my_data',
        Handle=>$dbh,
    });

DESCRIPTION

sqlite driver stores session data in SQLite files using DBD::SQLite DBI driver. More details see CGI::Session::Driver::DBI, its parent class.

DRIVER ARGUMENTS

Supported driver arguments are DataSource and Handle. At most only one of these arguments can be set while creating session object.

DataSource should be in the form of "dbi:SQLite:dbname=/path/to/db.sqlt". If "dbi:SQLite:" is missing it will be prepended for you. If Handle is present it should be database handle ($dbh) returned by DBI::connect().

As of version 1.7 of this driver, the third argument is NOT optional. Using a default database in the temporary directory is a security risk since anyone on the machine can create and/or read your session data. If you understand these risks and still want the old behavior, you can set the "DataSource" option to '/tmp/sessions.sqlt'.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

None known.
