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

       John C. Siracusa (siracusa@gmail.com)

       Objects of this class store and manipulate metadata for bitfield columns in a database.  Column metadata
       objects store information about columns (data type, size, etc.) and are responsible for parsing,
       formatting, and creating object methods that manipulate column values.

       This class inherits from Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column. Inherited methods that are not overridden
       will not be documented a second time here.  See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column documentation for
       more information.

       Importantnote: if you are using MySQL 5.0.3 or later, you must allow inline column values in any
       Rose::DB::Object-derived class that has one or more bitfield columns.  (That is, columns that use the
       "BIT" data type.)  This requirement may be relaxed in the future.

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

bits[INT]
           Get or set the number of bits in the column.

       parse_valueDB,VALUE
           Convert  VALUE  to  the  equivalent  "Bit::Vector"  object.   The return value of the column object's
           "bits()" method is used to determine the length of the bitfield in bits.  DB  is  a  Rose::DB  object
           that is used as part of the parsing process.  Both arguments are required.

       type
           Returns "bitfield".

         use Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Bitfield;

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