NAME

Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::BigInt - Big integer column metadata.

SYNOPSIS

  use Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::BigInt;

  $col = Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::BigInt->new(...);
  $col->make_methods(...);
  ...

DESCRIPTION

Objects of this class store and manipulate metadata for big integer (sometimes called "int8") columns in a database. Values are stored internally and returned as Math::BigInt objects. If the Math::BigInt::GMP module is installed, it will be used transparently for better performance.

This class inherits from Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Integer. Inherited methods that are not overridden will not be documented a second time here. See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Integer documentation for more information.

METHOD MAP

If perl is compiled to use 64-bit integers, then the method map is:

"get_set": Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, scalar, "interface => 'get_set', ..."
"get": Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, scalar, "interface => 'get', ..."
"get_set": Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, scalar, "interface => 'set', ..."

Otherwise, the method map is:

"get_set": Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, scalar, "interface => 'get_set', ..."
"get": Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, scalar, "interface => 'get', ..."
"get_set": Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, scalar, "interface => 'set', ..."

See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column documentation for an explanation of this method map.

OBJECT METHODS
