APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new

Title   : new
Usage   : my $obj = Bio::DB::DBI::mysql->new();
Function: Builds a new Bio::DB::DBI::mysql object using the passed named 
          parameters.
Returns : an instance of Bio::DB::DBI::mysql
Args    : named parameters with tags -dbcontext (a Bio::DB::DBContextI
          implementing object) and -sequence_name (the name of the sequence
          for PK generation)

next_id_value

Title   : next_id_value
Usage   : $pk = $obj->next_id_value("bioentry");
Function: This implementation uses standard MySQL only and hence cannot
          implement this method. It will throw an exception if called.
Example :
Returns : a value suitable for use as a primary key
Args    : The database connection handle to use for retrieving the next primary
          key value.
          Optionally, the name of the table. The driver is not required to
          honor the argument if present.

last_id_value

Title   : last_id_value
Usage   :
Function: Returns the last unique primary key value
          allocated. Depending on the argument and the driver, the
          value may be specific to a table, or independent of the
          table.

          This implementation will ignore the table.
Example :
Returns : a value suitable for use as a primary key
Args    : The database connection handle to use for retrieving the primary
          key from the last insert.

ifnull_sqlfunc

Title   : nvl_sqlfunc
Usage   :
Function: Get the name of the SQL function that takes two arguments
          and returns the first if it is not null, and the second
          otherwise.

          Most RDBMSs will have such a function, but unfortunately
          the naming is different between them. E.g., in MySQL the
          name is IFNULL(), whereas in Oracle it is NVL().

Example :
Returns : the name of the function as a string, without parentheses
Args    : none
