=head1 NAME

DBD::Gofer::Policy::Base - Base class for DBD::Gofer policies

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Gofer:transport=...;policy=...", ...)

=head1 DESCRIPTION

DBD::Gofer can be configured via a 'policy' mechanism that allows you to
fine-tune the number of round-trips to the Gofer server.  The policies are
grouped into classes (which may be subclassed) and referenced by the name of
the class.

The L<DBD::Gofer::Policy::Base> class is the base class for all the policy
classes and describes all the individual policy items.

The Base policy is not used directly. You should use a policy class derived from it.

=head1 POLICY CLASSES

Three policy classes are supplied with DBD::Gofer:
    
L<DBD::Gofer::Policy::pedantic> is most 'transparent' but slowest because it
makes more  round-trips to the Gofer server.

L<DBD::Gofer::Policy::classic> is a reasonable compromise - it's the default policy.
    
L<DBD::Gofer::Policy::rush> is fastest, but may require code changes in your applications.

Generally the default C<classic> policy is fine. When first testing an existing
application with Gofer it is a good idea to start with the C<pedantic> policy
first and then switch to C<classic> or a custom policy, for final testing.

=head1 POLICY ITEMS

These are temporary docs: See the source code for list of policies and their defaults.

In a future version the policies and their defaults will be defined in the pod and parsed out at load-time.

See the source code to this module for more details.

=head1 POLICY CUSTOMIZATION

XXX This area of DBD::Gofer is subject to change.

There are three ways to customize policies:

Policy classes are designed to influence the overall behaviour of DBD::Gofer
with existing, unaltered programs, so they work in a reasonably optimal way
without requiring code changes. You can implement new policy classes as
subclasses of existing policies.

In many cases individual policy items can be overridden on a case-by-case basis
within your application code. You do this by passing a corresponding
C<<go_<policy_name>>> attribute into DBI methods by your application code.
This let's you fine-tune the behaviour for special cases.

The policy items are implemented as methods. In many cases the methods are
passed parameters relating to the DBD::Gofer code being executed. This means
the policy can implement dynamic behaviour that varies depending on the
particular circumstances, such as the particular statement being executed.
