=head1 NAME

SQL::Translator - convert schema from one database to another

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use SQL::Translator;

  my $translator     = SQL::Translator->new(
      xlate          => $xlate || {},    # Overrides for field translation
      debug          => $debug,          # Print debug info
      trace          => $trace,          # Print Parse::RecDescent trace
      no_comments    => $no_comments,    # Don't include comments in output
      show_warnings  => $show_warnings,  # Print name mutations, conflicts
      add_drop_table => $add_drop_table, # Add "drop table" statements
  );

  my $output     = $translator->translate(
      from       => "MySQL",
      to         => "Oracle",
      filename   => $file,
  ) or die $translator->error;

  print $output;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module attempts to simplify the task of converting one database
create syntax to another through the use of Parsers (which understand
the source format) and Producers (which understand the destination
format).  The idea is that any Parser can be used with any Producer in
the conversion process.  So, if you wanted Postgres-to-Oracle, you
would use the Postgres parser and the Oracle producer.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

The constructor is called B<new>, and accepts a optional hash of options.
Valid options are:

=over 4

=item parser (aka from)

=item parser_args

=item producer (aka to)

=item producer_args

=item filename (aka file)

=item data

=item debug

=back

All options are, well, optional; these attributes can be set via
instance methods.  Internally, they are; no (non-syntactical)
advantage is gained by passing options to the constructor.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 B<add_drop_table>

Toggles whether or not to add "DROP TABLE" statements just before the 
create definitions.

=head2 B<custom_translate>

Allows the user to override default translation of fields.  For example,
if a MySQL "text" field would normally be converted to a "long" for Oracle,
the user could specify to change it to a "CLOB."  Accepts a hashref where
keys are the "from" value and values are the "to," returns the current
value of the field.

=head2 B<no_comments>

Toggles whether to print comments in the output.  Accepts a true or false
value, returns the current value.

=head2 B<producer>

The B<producer> method is an accessor/mutator, used to retrieve or
define what subroutine is called to produce the output.  A subroutine
defined as a producer will be invoked as a function (I<not a method>)
and passed 2 parameters: its container SQL::Translator instance and a
data structure.  It is expected that the function transform the data
structure to a string.  The SQL::Transformer instance is provided for
informational purposes; for example, the type of the parser can be
retrieved using the B<parser_type> method, and the B<error> and
B<debug> methods can be called when needed.

When defining a producer, one of several things can be passed
in:  A module name (e.g., My::Groovy::Producer), a module name
relative to the SQL::Translator::Producer namespace (e.g., MySQL), a
module name and function combination (My::Groovy::Producer::transmogrify),
or a reference to an anonymous subroutine.  If a full module name is
passed in (for the purposes of this method, a string containing "::"
is considered to be a module name), it is treated as a package, and a
function called "produce" will be invoked: $modulename::produce.  If
$modulename cannot be loaded, the final portion is stripped off and
treated as a function.  In other words, if there is no file named
My/Groovy/Producer/transmogrify.pm, SQL::Translator will attempt to load
My/Groovy/Producer.pm and use transmogrify as the name of the function,
instead of the default "produce".

  my $tr = SQL::Translator->new;

  # This will invoke My::Groovy::Producer::produce($tr, $data)
  $tr->producer("My::Groovy::Producer");

  # This will invoke SQL::Translator::Producer::Sybase::produce($tr, $data)
  $tr->producer("Sybase");

  # This will invoke My::Groovy::Producer::transmogrify($tr, $data),
  # assuming that My::Groovy::Producer::transmogrify is not a module
  # on disk.
  $tr->producer("My::Groovy::Producer::transmogrify");

  # This will invoke the referenced subroutine directly, as
  # $subref->($tr, $data);
  $tr->producer(\&my_producer);

There is also a method named B<producer_type>, which is a string
containing the classname to which the above B<produce> function
belongs.  In the case of anonymous subroutines, this method returns
the string "CODE".

Finally, there is a method named B<producer_args>, which is both an
accessor and a mutator.  Arbitrary data may be stored in name => value
pairs for the producer subroutine to access:

  sub My::Random::producer {
      my ($tr, $data) = @_;
      my $pr_args = $tr->producer_args();

      # $pr_args is a hashref.

Extra data passed to the B<producer> method is passed to
B<producer_args>:

  $tr->producer("xSV", delimiter => ',\s*');

  # In SQL::Translator::Producer::xSV:
  my $args = $tr->producer_args;
  my $delimiter = $args->{'delimiter'}; # value is ,\s*

=head2 B<parser>

The B<parser> method defines or retrieves a subroutine that will be
called to perform the parsing.  The basic idea is the same as that of
B<producer> (see above), except the default subroutine name is
"parse", and will be invoked as $module_name::parse($tr, $data).
Also, the parser subroutine will be passed a string containing the
entirety of the data to be parsed.

  # Invokes SQL::Translator::Parser::MySQL::parse()
  $tr->parser("MySQL");

  # Invokes My::Groovy::Parser::parse()
  $tr->parser("My::Groovy::Parser");

  # Invoke an anonymous subroutine directly
  $tr->parser(sub {
    my $dumper = Data::Dumper->new([ $_[1] ], [ "SQL" ]);
    $dumper->Purity(1)->Terse(1)->Deepcopy(1);
    return $dumper->Dump;
  });

There is also B<parser_type> and B<parser_args>, which perform
analogously to B<producer_type> and B<producer_args>

=head2 B<show_warnings>

Toggles whether to print warnings of name conflicts, identifier
mutations, etc.  Probably only generated by producers to let the user
know when something won't translate very smoothly (e.g., MySQL "enum"
fields into Oracle).  Accepts a true or false value, returns the
current value.

=head2 B<translate>

The B<translate> method calls the subroutines referenced by the
B<parser> and B<producer> data members (described above).  It accepts
as arguments a number of things, in key => value format, including
(potentially) a parser and a producer (they are passed directly to the
B<parser> and B<producer> methods).

Here is how the parameter list to B<translate> is parsed:

=over

=item *

1 argument means it's the data to be parsed; which could be a string
(filename) or a refernce to a scalar (a string stored in memory), or a
reference to a hash, which is parsed as being more than one argument
(see next section).

  # Parse the file /path/to/datafile
  my $output = $tr->translate("/path/to/datafile");

  # Parse the data contained in the string $data
  my $output = $tr->translate(\$data);

=item *

More than 1 argument means its a hash of things, and it might be
setting a parser, producer, or datasource (this key is named
"filename" or "file" if it's a file, or "data" for a SCALAR reference.

  # As above, parse /path/to/datafile, but with different producers
  for my $prod ("MySQL", "XML", "Sybase") {
      print $tr->translate(
                producer => $prod,
                filename => "/path/to/datafile",
            );
  }

  # The filename hash key could also be:
      datasource => \$data,

You get the idea.

=back

=head2 B<filename>, B<data>

Using the B<filename> method, the filename of the data to be parsed
can be set. This method can be used in conjunction with the B<data>
method, below.  If both the B<filename> and B<data> methods are
invoked as mutators, the data set in the B<data> method is used.

    $tr->filename("/my/data/files/create.sql");

or:

    my $create_script = do {
        local $/;
        open CREATE, "/my/data/files/create.sql" or die $!;
        <CREATE>;
    };
    $tr->data(\$create_script);

B<filename> takes a string, which is interpreted as a filename.
B<data> takes a reference to a string, which is used as the data to be
parsed.  If a filename is set, then that file is opened and read when
the B<translate> method is called, as long as the data instance
variable is not set.

=pod

=head2 B<trace>

Turns on/off the tracing option of Parse::RecDescent.
