[Dbix-class] Do we need value bind parameter attributes for deletes and select?

[John Napiorkowski]

Hi,

I've been working on this patch to allow bind
parameter attributes so that we can properly support
column types like Oracles B/CLOB type or Postgres'
BYTEA type and wondering if there is a need to set the
attributes for selects and deletes.  I have this
working (for me :) ) for inserts and updates, which I
think is the primary use case to allow people to
insert and update these troublesome column types, but
I can't think of a use case for deletes or selects.

If nobody needs this I'd rather leave it be for now,
since this patch already makes changes to important
functions like ...DBI->_execute and
...Row->update|insert (in other words methods that
everyone uses all the time) and I'm trying to minimize
the invasiveness of my change in order to improve the
chances of it being accepted :)

Also if there are other people out there that are
interested in this, please let me know since I'd like
someone who needs it for Oracle to help test and see
if it works.

Thanks!
John
