49    Let's suppose that your database have table C<files> with following structure:
50    
51     id:            int
52     filename:      text
53     size:          int
54     content:       text
55     writable:      boolean
56    
57    Following is example how to mount table like that to C</mnt>:
58    
59    my $mnt = Fuse::DBI->mount({    my $mnt = Fuse::DBI->mount({
60          filenames => 'select name from files_table as filenames',          'filenames' => 'select id,filename,size,writable from files',
61          read => 'sql read',          'read' => 'select content from files where id = ?',
62          update => 'sql update',          'update' => 'update files set content = ? where id = ?',
63          dsn => 'DBI:Pg:dbname=webgui',          'dsn' => 'DBI:Pg:dbname=test_db',
64          user => 'database_user',          'user' => 'database_user',
65          password => 'database_password'          'password' => 'database_password',
66            'invalidate' => sub { ... },
67    });    });
68    
69    Options:
70    
71    =over 5
72    
73    =item filenames
74    
75    SQL query which returns C<id> (unique id for that row), C<filename>,
76    C<size> and C<writable> boolean flag.
77    
78    =item read
79    
80    SQL query which returns only one column with content of file and has
81    placeholder C<?> for C<id>.
82    
83    =item update
84    
85    SQL query with two pace-holders, one for new content and one for C<id>.
86    
87    =item dsn
88    
89    C<DBI> dsn to connect to (contains database driver and name of database).
90    
91    =item user
92    
93    User with which to connect to database
94    
95    =item password
96    
97    Password for connecting to database
98    
99    =item invalidate
100    
101    Optional anonymous code reference which will be executed when data is updated in
102    database. It can be used as hook to delete cache (for example on-disk-cache)
103    which is created from data edited through C<Fuse::DBI>.
104    
105    =item fork
106    
107    Optional flag which forks after mount so that executing script will continue
108    running. Implementation is experimental.
