NAME

SYNOPSIS

  use Rose::DB;

  Rose::DB->register_db(
    dsn      => 'dbi:SomeDB:...', # unknown driver
    username => 'devuser',
    password => 'mysecret',
  );

  Rose::DB->default_domain('development');
  Rose::DB->default_type('main');
  ...

  $db = Rose::DB->new; # $db is really a Rose::DB::Generic object
  ...

DESCRIPTION

To maximize the chance that this class will work with an unsupported database, do the following.

• Use a driver name that exactly matches the DBI "DBD::..." driver name. Even though Rose::DB drivers are case-insensitive, using the exact spelling and letter case will allow this generic Rose::DB driver to connect successfully.
• Specify the DSN explicitly rather than providing the pieces separately (host, database, port, etc.) and then relying upon this class to assemble them into DBI DSN. This class will assemble a DSN, but it may not be in the format that an unsupported driver expects.

This class inherits from Rose::DB. See the Rose::DB documentation for information on the inherited methods.
