52 DBIx::DBSchema objects are collections of DBIx::DBSchema::Table objects and
53 represent a database schema.
55 This module implements an OO-interface to database schemas. Using this module,
56 you can create a database schema with an OO Perl interface. You can read the
57 schema from an existing database. You can save the schema to disk and restore
58 it a different process. Most importantly, DBIx::DBSchema can write SQL
59 CREATE statements statements for different databases from a single source.
61 Currently supported databases are MySQL and PostgreSQL. Sybase support is
62 partially implemented. DBIx::DBSchema will attempt to use generic SQL syntax
63 for other databases. Assistance adding support for other databases is
64 welcomed. See L<DBIx::DBSchema::DBD>, "Driver Writer's Guide and Base Class".
70 =item new TABLE_OBJECT, TABLE_OBJECT, ...
72 Creates a new DBIx::DBSchema object.
77 my($proto, @tables) = @_;
78 my %tables = map { $_->name, $_ } @tables; #check for duplicates?
80 my $class = ref($proto) || $proto;
85 bless ($self, $class);
89 =item new_odbc DATABASE_HANDLE | DATA_SOURCE USERNAME PASSWORD [ ATTR ]
91 Creates a new DBIx::DBSchema object from an existing data source, which can be
92 specified by passing an open DBI database handle, or by passing the DBI data
93 source name, username, and password. This uses the experimental DBI type_info
94 method to create a schema with standard (ODBC) SQL column types that most
95 closely correspond to any non-portable column types. Use this to import a
96 schema that you wish to use with many different database engines. Although
97 primary key and (unique) index information will only be read from databases
98 with DBIx::DBSchema::DBD drivers (currently MySQL and PostgreSQL), import of
99 column names and attributes *should* work for any database. Note that this
100 method only uses "ODBC" column types; it does not require or use an ODBC
106 my($proto, $dbh) = (shift, shift);
107 $dbh = DBI->connect( $dbh, @_ ) or die $DBI::errstr unless ref($dbh);
109 map { new_odbc DBIx::DBSchema::Table $dbh, $_ } _tables_from_dbh($dbh)
113 =item new_native DATABASE_HANDLE | DATA_SOURCE USERNAME PASSWORD [ ATTR ]
115 Creates a new DBIx::DBSchema object from an existing data source, which can be
116 specified by passing an open DBI database handle, or by passing the DBI data
117 source name, username and password. This uses database-native methods to read
118 the schema, and will preserve any non-portable column types. The method is
119 only available if there is a DBIx::DBSchema::DBD for the corresponding database engine (currently, MySQL and PostgreSQL).
124 my($proto, $dbh) = (shift, shift);
125 $dbh = DBI->connect( $dbh, @_ ) or die $DBI::errstr unless ref($dbh);
127 map { new_native DBIx::DBSchema::Table ( $dbh, $_ ) } _tables_from_dbh($dbh)
133 Loads a DBIx::DBSchema object from a file.
138 my($proto,$file)=@_; #use $proto ?
143 eval { $self = Storable::retrieve($file); };
145 if ( $@ && $@ =~ /not.*storable/i ) { #then try FreezeThaw
146 eval "use FreezeThaw;";
148 open(FILE,"<$file") or die "Can't open $file: $!";
149 my $string = join('',<FILE>);
150 close FILE or die "Can't close $file: $!";
151 ($self) = FreezeThaw::thaw($string);
160 Saves a DBIx::DBSchema object to a file.
165 #my($self, $file) = @_;
166 Storable::nstore(@_);
169 =item addtable TABLE_OBJECT
171 Adds the given DBIx::DBSchema::Table object to this DBIx::DBSchema.
177 $self->{'tables'}->{$table->name} = $table; #check for dupliates?
182 Returns a list of the names of all tables.
188 keys %{$self->{'tables'}};
191 =item table TABLENAME
193 Returns the specified DBIx::DBSchema::Table object.
199 $self->{'tables'}->{$table};
202 =item sql [ DATABASE_HANDLE | DATA_SOURCE [ USERNAME PASSWORD [ ATTR ] ] ]
204 Returns a list of SQL `CREATE' statements for this schema.
206 The data source can be specified by passing an open DBI database handle, or by
207 passing the DBI data source name, username and password.
209 Although the username and password are optional, it is best to call this method
210 with a database handle or data source including a valid username and password -
211 a DBI connection will be opened and the quoting and type mapping will be more
214 If passed a DBI data source (or handle) such as `DBI:mysql:database' or
215 `DBI:Pg:dbname=database', will use syntax specific to that database engine.
216 Currently supported databases are MySQL and PostgreSQL.
218 If not passed a data source (or handle), or if there is no driver for the
219 specified database, will attempt to use generic SQL syntax.
224 my($self, $dbh) = (shift, shift);
226 unless ( ref($dbh) || ! @_ ) {
227 $dbh = DBI->connect( $dbh, @_ ) or die $DBI::errstr;
230 my @r = map { $self->table($_)->sql_create_table($dbh); } $self->tables;
231 $dbh->disconnect if $created_dbh;
237 Returns the data in this schema as Perl source, suitable for assigning to a

283 Creates a schema as specified by a data structure such as that created by

343 Each DBIx::DBSchema object should have a name which corresponds to its name
344 within the SQL database engine (DBI data source).
346 pretty_print is actually pretty ugly.
348 Perhaps pretty_read should eval column types so that we can use DBI
349 qw(:sql_types) here instead of externally.
