=head1 NAME DbFramework::DataModel - Data Model class =head1 SYNOPSIS use DbFramework::DataModel; $dm = new DbFramework::DataModel($name,$dsn,$user,$password); $dm->init_db_metadata($catalog_dsn,$user,$password); @tables = @{$dm->collects_table_l}; %tables = %{$dm->collects_table_h}; @tables = @{$dm->collects_table_h_byname(@tables)}; $sql = $dm->as_sql; $db = $dm->db; $driver = $dm->driver; =head1 DESCRIPTION A B object represents a database schema. It can be initialised using the metadata provided by a DBI driver and a catalog database (see L). =head1 SUPERCLASSES B =cut package DbFramework::DataModel; use strict; use vars qw( $NAME $_DEBUG @COLLECTS_TABLE_L $DBH $DSN ); use base qw(DbFramework::Util); use DbFramework::Table; use DbFramework::ForeignKey; use DBI; use Alias; ## CLASS DATA my %fields = ( NAME => undef, # DataModel 0:N Collects 0:N DataModelObject COLLECTS_L => undef, # DataModel 0:N Collects 0:N Table COLLECTS_TABLE_L => undef, COLLECTS_TABLE_H => undef, DBH => undef, DSN => undef, DRIVER => undef, DB => undef, TYPE_INFO_L => undef, ); # arbitrary number to add to SQL type numbers as they can be negative # and we want to store them in an array my $_sql_type_adjust = 1000; ############################################################################### # CLASS METHODS ############################################################################### =head1 CLASS METHODS =head2 new($name,$dsn,$user,$password) Create a new B object. I<$name> is the name of the database associated with the data model. I<$dsn> is the DBI data source name associated with the data model. I<$user> and I<$password> are optional arguments specifying the username and password to use when connecting to the database. =cut sub new { my $proto = shift; my $class = ref($proto) || $proto; my $self = bless { _PERMITTED => \%fields, %fields, }, $class; $self->name(shift); $self->dbh(DbFramework::Util::get_dbh(@_)); #$self->init_db_metadata; # hack to record driver/db name until I confirm whether $dbh->{Name} # has been implemented for mSQL and Mysql $self->dsn($_[0]); $self->driver($_[0] =~ /DBI:(.*):/); $self->db($self->name); # cache type_info here as it's an expensive function for ODBC $self->type_info_l([$self->dbh->type_info($DBI::SQL_ALL_TYPES)]); return $self; } ############################################################################### # OBJECT METHODS ############################################################################### =head1 OBJECT METHODS A data model has a number of tables. These tables can be accessed using the methods I and I. See L for the accessor methods for these attributes. =head2 name($name) If I<$name> is supplied sets the name of the database associated with the data model. Returns the database name. =head2 dsn() Returns the DBI DSN of the database associated with the data model. =head2 db() Synonym for name(). =head2 driver() Returns the name of the driver associated with the data model. =head2 as_sql() Returns a SQL string which can be used to create the tables which make up the data model. =cut sub as_sql { my $self = attr shift; my $sql; for ( @COLLECTS_TABLE_L ) { $sql .= $_->as_sql($DBH) . ";\n" } return $sql; } #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ =head2 init_db_metadata($catalog_dsn,$user,$password) Returns a B object configured using metadata from the database handle returned by dbh() and the catalog (see L). I<$catalog_dsn> is the DBI data source name associated with the catalog. I<$user> and I<$password> are used for authorisation against the catalog database. Foreign keys will be automatically configured for tables in the data model but this method will die() unless the number of attributes in each foreign and related primary key match. =cut sub init_db_metadata { my $self = attr shift; my $c = new DbFramework::Catalog(@_); # add tables my($table,@tables,@byname); my $sth = $DBH->table_info; while ( my @table_info = $sth->fetchrow_array ) { my $table_name = $table_info[2]; print STDERR "table: $table_name, table_info = @table_info\n" if $_DEBUG; my $table = DbFramework::Table->new($table_name,undef,undef,$DBH,$self); push(@tables,$table->init_db_metadata($c)); print STDERR "table: ",$table->name," pk: ",join(',',$table->is_identified_by->attribute_names),"\n" if $_DEBUG; } $self->collects_table_l(\@tables); for ( @tables ) { push(@byname,($_->name,$_)) } $self->collects_table_h(\@byname); # add foreign keys $c->set_foreign_keys($self); return $self; } #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ =head1 SEE ALSO L, L and L. =head1 AUTHOR Paul Sharpe Epaul@miraclefish.comE =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 1997,1998 Paul Sharpe.
