=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader automates the definition of a
L<DBIx::Class::Schema> by scanning database table definitions and
-setting up the columns and primary keys.
+setting up the columns, primary keys, and relationships.
-DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader currently supports DBI for MySQL,
-Postgres, SQLite and DB2.
+DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader currently supports only the DBI storage type.
+It has explicit support for L<DBD::Pg>, L<DBD::mysql>, L<DBD::DB2>, and
+L<DBD::SQLite>. Other DBI drivers may function to a greater or lesser
+degree with this loader, depending on how much of the DBI spec they
+implement, and how standard their implementation is. Patches to make
+other DBDs work correctly welcome.
See L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::DBI::Writing> for notes on writing
your own vendor-specific subclass for an unsupported DBD driver.
only useful in fairly complex scenarios, see the
L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Base> documentation.

+This method is *required* at this time, for backwards compatibility
+reasons. If you do not wish to change any options, just call it

+
+You should either specify this method before setting the connection
+information for your schema, or specify these options as a part of

+warn if the ordering is wrong, but in the future this will cause problems.

+If the final argument is a hashref, and it contains a key C<loader_options>,
+that key will be deleted, and its value will be used for the loader options,
+just as if set via the L</loader_options> method above.
+
+The actual auto-loading operation (the heart of this module) will be invoked
+as soon as the connection information is defined.

This simple function allows one to create a Loader-based schema

kind. When used with the C<dump_directory> option, you can
