NAME

Data::HandyGen::mysql::TableDef - Manages table definition in mysql

VERSION

This documentation refers to Data::HandyGen::mysql::TableDef version 0.0.5

SYNOPSIS

use Data::HandyGen::mysql::TableDef;
use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:dbname=testdb', 'username', 'password');
my $table_def = Data::HandyGen::mysql::TableDef->new( dbh => $dbh, table_name => 'table1');

CAUTION

This module is not intended for use outside Data::HandyGen. Its interface may be changed in the future.

DESCRIPTION

This module manages a table definition in one table in Mysql.

METHODS

new(%params)

Constructor.

dbh($dbh)

Setter/getter for database handle generated by DBI.

table_name($name)

Setter/getter for table name.

colnames()

Returns all columns in this table. If you have a table such as

mysql> desc table1;
+-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field       | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id          | int(11)     | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| category_id | int(11)     | YES  | MUL | NULL    |                |
| name        | varchar(20) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| price       | int(11)     | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
+-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

colnames() returns an arrayref containing 'id', 'category_id', 'name' and 'price'. Order won't be guaranteed.

def()

Returns a table definition. It is a hashref which information is originally retrieved from information_schema.columns, which contains fields such as:

+--------------------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field                    | Type                | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--------------------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| TABLE_CATALOG            | varchar(512)        | NO   |     |         |       |
| TABLE_SCHEMA             | varchar(64)         | NO   |     |         |       |
| TABLE_NAME               | varchar(64)         | NO   |     |         |       |
| COLUMN_NAME              | varchar(64)         | NO   |     |         |       |
| ORDINAL_POSITION         | bigint(21) unsigned | NO   |     | 0       |       |
| COLUMN_DEFAULT           | longtext            | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| IS_NULLABLE              | varchar(3)          | NO   |     |         |       |
| DATA_TYPE                | varchar(64)         | NO   |     |         |       |
| CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH | bigint(21) unsigned | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| CHARACTER_OCTET_LENGTH   | bigint(21) unsigned | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| NUMERIC_PRECISION        | bigint(21) unsigned | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| NUMERIC_SCALE            | bigint(21) unsigned | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| CHARACTER_SET_NAME       | varchar(32)         | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| COLLATION_NAME           | varchar(32)         | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| COLUMN_TYPE              | longtext            | NO   |     | NULL    |       |
| COLUMN_KEY               | varchar(3)          | NO   |     |         |       |
| EXTRA                    | varchar(27)         | NO   |     |         |       |
| PRIVILEGES               | varchar(80)         | NO   |     |         |       |
| COLUMN_COMMENT           | varchar(1024)       | NO   |     |         |       |
+--------------------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

Table definition returned by def() is like the following:

$ret = {
    'column_1'  => {
        TABLE_CATALOG   => 'def',
        TABLE_SCHEMA    => 'test',
        ...
    },
    'column_2'  => {
        TABLE_CATALOG   => 'def',
        TABLE_SCHEMA    => 'test',
        ...
    },
    ....
}

Field names in the hashref are all converted to uppercase.

is_pk($colname)

Returns 1 if $colname is one of primary key columns. Otherwise returns 0.

is_fk($colname)

If $colname is a foreign key, returns referenced table/column name like this:

#  In case only one foreign key found
$ret = {
    table   => 'table name',
    column  => 'column name'
}

#  In case multiple foreign keys found
$ret = [
    { table => 'table1', column => 'column1' },
    { table => 'table2', column => 'column2' },
    { table => 'table3', column => 'column3' },
]

Otherwise, returns undef.

pk_columns()

Returns arrayref of column names of primary keys.

column_def($column_name)

Returns column definition (ColumnDef object)

get_auto_increment_value()

Returns a value which auto_increment will generate next time.
