DBIx::Sequence - A simple SQL92 ID generator
This module is intended to give easier portability to Perl
database application by providing a database independant
unique ID generator. This way, an application developer
is not bound to use his database's SEQUENCE or auto_increment
thus making his application portable on multiple database
environnements.
This module implements a simple Spin Locker mechanism and
is garanteed to return a unique value every time it is
called, even with concurrent processes. It uses your database
for its state storage with ANSI SQL92 compliant SQL. All
SQL queries inside DBIx::Sequence are pre cached and very
efficient especially under mod_perl.
