NAME DBIx::SQLite::Deploy - Easy SQLite deployment VERSION Version 0.011 SYNOPSIS # ::Deploy will create the 'path/to' for you if it does not already exist my $deploy = DBIx::SQLite::Deploy->deploy( path/to/database.sqlite => <<_END_ ) [% PRIMARY_KEY = "INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT" %] [% KEY = "INTEGER" %] [% CLEAR %] --- CREATE TABLE artist ( id [% PRIMARY_KEY %], uuid TEXT NOT NULL, name TEXT, description TEXT, UNIQUE (uuid) ); --- CREATE TABLE cd ( id [% PRIMARY_KEY %], title TEXT, description TEXT ); _END_ To use with DBI $dbh = $deploy->connect # ...or the long way: $dbh = DBI->connect( $deploy->information ) To use with DBIx::Class $schema = My::Schema->connect( $deploy->information ) DESCRIPTION DBIx::SQLite::Deploy is a tool for creating a database and getting back a DBI connection in as little work as possible. Essentially, you pass the path of your database and the schema (as a Template Toolkit template) to "DBIx::SQLite::Deploy->deploy". If the database is not there (file does not exist or is size 0), then ::Deploy will create the database and install the schema Why Template Toolkit? Purely as a convenience. You probably have lots of repetition in your schema, and TT gives a way to combat that redundancy. You don't need to use it if you don't want/need to. USAGE $deploy = DBIx::SQLite::Deploy->deploy( , [ ], ... ) Create a new deployment using as the file for the SQLite database, and as the (optional) schema The schema argument can be in the form of a Template Toolkit document. The database will NOT be created until you ask to "->connect", ask for "->information", or manually "->deploy". To do creation on construction, pass "create => 1" as an argument DBIx::SQLite::Deploy will not deploy over an existing database (the file exists and has non-zero size) $deploy->connect Return a DBI database handle ($dbh) $deploy->information $deploy->info Return a list of connection information, suitable for passing to "DBI->connect" $deploy->deploy Deploy the database unless it already exists SYNOPSIS AUTHOR Robert Krimen, "" BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-dbix-sqlite-deploy at", or through the web interface at .
