Errata

Tangram::Type::Dump::Storable objects are first encoded with MIME::Base64, because Tangram does not currently have an easy mechanism for calling "DBI->bind_param()" at the appropriate time to flag the column as binary.

Tangram::Type::Dump::Perl objects are stored as "BYTEA" columns, which as of DBD::Pg 1.31, also do not get correctly escaped by the DBD driver. This also affects the (as-yet not fully functional) Tangram::Type::Dump::YAML back-end, which might put "\" characters into a YAML document.

It is recommended to use the "storable" type with Tangram::Type::Dump::Any for this reason.
