DESCRIPTION

This class provides a wrapper for the pg_restore utility.

METHODS

This class provides the following methods:

Pg::CLI::pg_restore->new( ... )

The constructor accepts a number of parameters:

  • executable

    The path to pg_restore. By default, this will look for pg_restore in your path and throw an error if it cannot be found.

  • username

    The username to use when connecting to the database. Optional.

  • password

    The password to use when connecting to the database. Optional.

  • host

    The host to use when connecting to the database. Optional.

  • port

    The port to use when connecting to the database. Optional.

  • require_ssl

    If this is true, then the PGSSLMODE environment variable will be set to "require" when connecting to the database.

$pg_restore->run( database => ..., options => [ ... ] )

This method restores the specified database. Any values passed in options will be passed on to pg_restore.

This method also accepts optional stdin, stdout, and stderr parameters. These parameters can be any defined value that could be passed as the relevant parameter to IPC::Run3's run3 subroutine.

Notably, you can capture the restore output in a scalar reference for the stdout output.

$pg_restore->version()

Returns a the three part version as a string.

$pg_restore->two_part_version()

Returns the first two decimal numbers in the version.
