NAME

update_dbic_dump.pl - developer-only maintenance script to sync this DBIx::Class object layer with the latest upstream version of Chado

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: this script is intended for use only by the Bio::Chado::Schema maintainers.

This script basically:

  - checks out a clean chado schema copy (unless you pass --chado-checkout=)
  - drops all tables from the target database
  - parses the chado module metadata
  - uses DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::make_schema_at() to update the
    dumped modules in lib/ with any schema changes
