.SH NAME
DBD::Gofer::Transport::null \- DBD::Gofer client transport for testing
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 2
\&  my $original_dsn = "..."
\&  DBI\->connect("dbi:Gofer:transport=null;dsn=$original_dsn",...)
.Ve
.PP
or, enable by setting the DBI_AUTOPROXY environment variable:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  export DBI_AUTOPROXY="dbi:Gofer:transport=null"
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Connect via DBD::Gofer but execute the requests within the same process.
.PP
This is a quick and simple way to test applications for compatibility with the
(few) restrictions that DBD::Gofer imposes.
.PP
It also provides a simple, portable way for the DBI test suite to be used to
test DBD::Gofer on all platforms with no setup.
.PP
Also, by measuring the difference in performance between normal connections and
connections via \f(CW\*(C`dbi:Gofer:transport=null\*(C'\fR the basic cost of using DBD::Gofer
can be measured. Furthermore, the additional cost of more advanced transports can be
isolated by comparing their performance with the null transport.
.PP
The \f(CW\*(C`t/85gofer.t\*(C'\fR script in the DBI distribution includes a comparative benchmark.
