Re: DBIx::Class connection

You could pass a sub instead of plain connection variable and do whatever you want there.

$schema= My::Schema->connect(sub{
   # Prep/config load.
   my $dbh = DBI->connect...
   # Do your logging.
   return $dbh;
}

I'm not sure it's the easiest/sanest way. It feels like the wrong place to do it to me. Perhaps you want some permutation of DBI->trace instead.

yes, as far as I remember it's not recommended to do the DBI connect yourself since DBIC cares about reconnecting itself when the connection has gone away, so tracing in DBI is probably the best way.	[reply]

As always many thanks for sharing your knowledge, mother. And to log the SQL that is generated I could simply subclass DBIx::Class::Storage::Statistics and set it as debugobj I guess? And while I am at it (and don't want to experiment when I can simply ask mother): I don't quite understand what happens when the database-connection is lost (I am using mysql). I understand DBIx::Class will try to reconnect automatically - does that mean it will try once and give up if it fails to reconnect or what exactly happens? How could I trace (assumed I cared) when a connection is lost and re-established? Many thanks.	[reply]

Look at DBIx::Class::QueryLog and Log::Log4perl::Appender::DBIx::Class and the trace section of DBI. I think you can do pretty deep logging but I've never tried and when I've needed a log I've generally used `DBI->trace` to a tmp file. I also am not sure how the reconnection stuff is is handled. I've been lucky enough that it's always "just worked" for everything I've done. You could dive the guts of the relevant Storage/Engine modules though I suspect the reconnect stuff is (at least partly) handled in the relevant DBD modules.	[reply] [d/l]

It feels like the wrong place to do it to me. This is very much the case yes. See my answer to the OP. Cheers	[reply]
