NAME
DBIx::Util::Schema - Utility routines related to database schema
VERSION
This document describes version 0.002 of DBIx::Util::Schema (from Perl
distribution DBIx-Util-Schema), released on 2020-05-06.
SYNOPSIS
use DBIx::Util::Schema qw(
table_exists
column_exists
list_tables
list_columns
list_indexes
);
say "Database has table named 'foo'" if table_exists($dbh, "foo");
DESCRIPTION
DBI already provides methods to query schema information, e.g.
"table_info()", "column_info()", "statistics_info()", but simple things
like checking whether a table or a column exists is not straightforward
or easy enough. This module provides convenience routines for those
tasks.
Currently only tested on SQLite, MySQL, and Postgres.
FUNCTIONS
column_exists
Usage:
column_exists($dbh, $table, $column) -> any
Alias for has_column().
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* $column* => *str*
Table column name.
* $dbh* => *obj*
DBI database handle.
* $table* => *str*
Table name.
Return value: (any)
has_all_columns
Usage:
has_all_columns($dbh, $table, $columns, ...) -> any
Check whether a table has all specified columns.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* $columns* => *array[str]*
Table column names.
* $dbh* => *obj*
DBI database handle.
* $table* => *str*
Table name.
Return value: (any)
has_all_tables
Usage:
has_all_tables($dbh, $tables, ...) -> any
Check whether database has all specified tables.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* $dbh* => *obj*
DBI database handle.
* $tables* => *array[str]*
Table names.
Return value: (any)
has_any_column
Usage:
has_any_column($dbh, $table, $columns, ...) -> any
Check whether a table has at least one of specified columns.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* $columns* => *array[str]*
Table column names.
* $dbh* => *obj*
DBI database handle.
* $table* => *str*
Table name.
Return value: (any)
has_any_table
Usage:
has_any_table($dbh, $tables, ...) -> any
Check whether database has at least one of specified tables.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* $dbh* => *obj*
DBI database handle.
* $tables* => *array[str]*
Table names.
Return value: (any)
has_column
Usage:
has_column($dbh, $table, $column) -> any
Check whether a table has a specified column.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* $column* => *str*
Table column name.
* $dbh* => *obj*
DBI database handle.
* $table* => *str*
Table name.
Return value: (any)
has_table
Usage:
has_table($dbh, $table) -> any
Check whether database has a certain table.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* $dbh* => *obj*
DBI database handle.
* $table* => *str*
Table name.
Return value: (any)
list_columns
Usage:
list_columns($dbh, $table) -> any
List columns of a table.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* $dbh* => *obj*
DBI database handle.
* $table* => *str*
Table name.
Return value: (any)
list_indexes
Usage:
list_indexes($dbh, $table) -> any
List indexes for a table in a database.
SQLite notes: information is retrieved from DBI's table_info().
Autoindex for primary key is not listed using table_info(), but this
function adds it by looking at "sqlite_master" table.
MySQL notes: information is retrieved from statistics_info(). Note that
a multi-column index is reported as separate rows by statistics_info(),
one for each indexed column. But this function merges them and returns
the list of columns in "columns".
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* $dbh* => *obj*
DBI database handle.
* $table* => *str*
Table name.
Return value: (any)
list_tables
Usage:
list_tables($dbh) -> any
List table names in a database.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* $dbh* => *obj*
DBI database handle.
Return value: (any)
table_exists
Usage:
table_exists($dbh, $table) -> any
Alias for has_table().
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* $dbh* => *obj*
DBI database handle.
* $table* => *str*
Table name.
Return value: (any)
