Database vendors supported: MySQL, Oracle, Postgres. Assumptions: =over 4 =item Every table has a primary key =item The primary key is a unique, non-null, integer =item The primary key is a single column =item The primary key column is called 'id' =item If a primary key has a corresponding auto-created index, the index is called 't_pkey' This is true for Postgres, where declaring a column as a primary key automatically results in the creation of an associated index for that column. The index is named after the table, not after the column. =item If a table 't' (with primary key 'id') has an associated sequence, the sequence is called 't_id_seq' This is true for both Oracle and Postgres, which use sequences to populate primary key columns. The sequences are named after both the table and the column. =back =head1 Constructor and initialization new(...) returns an object of type C. This is the class's contructor. Usage: DBIx::Admin::CreateTable -> new(). This method takes a set of parameters. Only the dbh parameter is mandatory. For each parameter you wish to use, call new as new(param_1 => value_1, ...). =over 4 =item dbh This is a database handle, returned from DBI's connect() call. This parameter is mandatory. There is no default. =item verbose This is 0 or 1, to turn off or on printing of progress statements to STDERR. This parameter is optional. The default is 0. =back =head1 Method: create_table($sql, $arg) Returns '' (empty string) if successful and DBI's errstr() if there is an error. $sql is the SQL to create the table. $arg is an optional hash ref of options per table. The keys are table names. The only sub-key at the moment is... =over 4 =item no_sequence $arg = {$table_name_1 => {no_sequence => 1}, $table_name_2 => {no_sequence => 1} }; can be used to tell create_table not to create a sequence for the given table. You would use this on a CGI::Session-type table called 'sessions', for example, when using Oracle or Postgres. With MySQL there would be no sequence anyway. You would also normally use this on a table called 'log'. The reason for this syntax is so you can use the same hash ref in a call to reset_all_sequences. =back Usage with CGI::Session: my($creator) = DBIx::Admin::CreateTable -> new(dbh => $dbh, verbose => 1); my($table_name) = 'sessions'; my($type) = $creator -> db_vendor() eq 'ORACLE' ? 'long' : 'text'; $creator -> drop_table($table_name); $creator -> create_table(< {no_sequence => 1} }); create table $table_name ( id char(32) primary key, a_session $type not null ) SQL Typical usage: my($creator) = DBIx::Admin::CreateTable -> new(dbh => $dbh, verbose => 1); my($table_name) = 'test'; my($primary_key) = $creator -> generate_primary_key_sql($table_name); $creator -> drop_table($table_name); $creator -> create_table(< 0} | {no_sequence => 1} | +----------|------------------------------|--------------------+ | MySQL | Create table | Create table | +----------|------------------------------|--------------------+ | Oracle | Create sequence before table | Create table | +----------|------------------------------|--------------------+ | Postgres | Create sequence before table | Create table | +----------|------------------------------|--------------------+ | SQLite | Create table | Create table | +----------|------------------------------|--------------------+ SQL: Method: create_table($table_name, $arg).
