NAME

Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Character - Character column metadata.

SYNOPSIS

  use Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Character;
  $col = Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Character->new(...);
  $col->make_methods(...);

DESCRIPTION

Objects of this class store and manipulate metadata for character columns in a database. Column metadata objects store information about columns (data type, size, etc.) and are responsible for creating object methods that manipulate column values.
This class inherits from Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Scalar. Inherited methods that are not overridden will not be documented a second time here. See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Scalar documentation for more information.
