=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.
=head2 connection
-See L<DBIx::Class::Schema>. Our local override here is to
-hook in the main functionality of the loader, which occurs at the time
-the connection is specified for a given schema class/object.
+See L<DBIx::Class::Schema>.
=cut
=head2 clone
-See L<DBIx::Class::Schema>. Our local override here is to
-make sure cloned schemas can still be loaded at runtime by
-copying and altering a few things here.
+See L<DBIx::Class::Schema>.
=cut
manual versions of themselves to the named directory when they are
loaded. In order to be effective, this must be set before defining a
connection on this schema class or any derived object (as the loading
-happens at connection time, and only once per class).
+happens as soon as both a connection and loader_options are set, and
+only once per class).
See L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Base/dump_directory> for more
details on the dumping mechanism.
This deprecated method is now roughly an alias for L</loader_options>.
-In the past it was a common idiom to invoke this method
-after defining a connection on the schema class. That usage is now
-deprecated. The correct way to do things from now forward is to
-always do C<loader_options> on the class before C<connect> or
-C<connection> is invoked on the class or any derived object.

This method *will* dissappear in a future version.
For now, using this method will invoke the legacy behavior for
