OpenPlugin::Datasource - Datasource connection manager plugin

 my $dbh  = $OP->datasource->connect( 'MyDataSourceName' );
 my $ldap = $OP->datasource->connect( 'LDAP_DataSourceName' );

 ...

 $OP->datasource->disconnect( 'MyDataSourceName' );

This plugin provides a simple means of connecting to datasources such as DBI, LDAP or any other type of connections needed. It caches the connections for reuse throughout the lifetime of the application, although it contains no behavior (yet) for keeping the connections alive.

connect( $datasource_name, [ \%datasource_info ] )

Returns a datasource mapping to $datasource_name. Datasources are defined in the config file.

disconnect( $datasource_name )

Disconnects datasource $datasource_name.

shutdown()

Disconnects all datasources.

None known.

Nothing known.

See the individual datasource drivers for details on configuration and usage.
