If this is set to 1, then any data that is referenced by the dbh, including whatever structure your driver allocates, MUST be allocated persistently. This is easy to achieve; rather than using the usual emalloc() simply use pemalloc() and pass the value of this flag as the last parameter. Failure to use the appropriate kind of memory can lead to serious memory faults, resulting (in the best case) a hard crash, and in the worst case, an exploitable memory problem. If, for whatever reason, your driver is not suitable to run persistently, you MUST check this flag in your SKEL_handle_factory() and raise an appropriate error. |
***** | You should check this value in your SKEL_handle_doer()
and SKEL_stmt_execute() functions; if it evaluates to true, you must attempt to commit the query now. Most database implementations offer an auto-commit mode that handles this automatically. |

If your database client library API operates by fetching data into a caller-supplied buffer, you should set this flag to 1 during your SKEL_handle_factory(). When set, PDO will call your SKEL_stmt_describer() earlier than it would otherwise. This early call allows you to determine those buffer sizes and issue appropriate calls to the database client library. If your database client library API simply returns pointers to its own internal buffers for you to copy after each fetch call, you should leave this value set to 0. |
******* | If your driver doesn't support native prepared statements

******** | This holds the value of the DSN that was passed into the PDO
constructor. If your driver implementation needed to modify the DSN for
whatever reason, it should update this member during
SKEL_handle_factory(). Modifying this member should
be avoided. If you do change it, you must ensure that
|
********* | Whenever an error occurs during a call to one of your driver methods,
you should set this member to the SQLSTATE code that best describes the error and return an error. In this HOW-TO, the suggested practice is to call SKEL_handle_error() when an error is detected, and have it set the error code. |
********** | Your driver should set this during
SKEL_handle_factory(); the value should reflect how
the database returns the names of the columns in result sets. If the
name matches the case that was used in the query, set it to
