NAME

Rubric::DBI::Setup - db initialization routines

VERSION

version 0.157

SYNOPSIS

 use strict;
 use warnings;

 use Rubric::DBI::Setup;
 Rubric::DBI::Setup->setup_tables;

DESCRIPTION

PERL VERSION

This code is effectively abandonware. Although releases will sometimes be made to update contact info or to fix packaging flaws, bug reports will mostly be ignored. Feature requests are even more likely to be ignored. (If someone takes up maintenance of this code, they will presumably remove this notice.) This means that whatever version of perl is currently required is unlikely to change -- but also that it might change at any new maintainer's whim.

METHODS

dbh

This method returns a connection to the Rubric database.

setup_tables

This method builds the tables in the database, if needed.

specialize_sql

attempts to convert the given sql syntax to the given DBD Driver's

determine_version

This attempts to determine the version of the database schema to which the given database conforms. All recent schemata store their version number; for older versions, some simple table attributes are checked.

determine_db_type

Returns the type of db being used, based on the DSN's DBD driver. SQLite and Pg support only right now.

update_schema

This method will try to upgrade the database to the most recent schema. It's sort of ugly, but it works...
