DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::AutoCast - Storage component for RDBMS requiring explicit placeholder typing

  $schema->storage->auto_cast(1);

In some combinations of RDBMS and DBD drivers (e.g. FreeTDS and Sybase) statements with values bound to columns or conditions that are not strings will throw implicit type conversion errors.

As long as a column data_type is defined and resolves to a base RDBMS native type via _native_data_type as defined in your Storage driver, the placeholder for this column will be converted to:

  CAST(? as $mapped_type)

This option can also be enabled in connect_info as:

  on_connect_call => ['set_auto_cast']

Executes:

  $schema->storage->auto_cast(1);

on connection.

Used as:

    on_connect_call => ['set_auto_cast']

in connect_info.
