 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
+This class requires L<SQL::Translator> installed to work.
+
 C<SQL::Translator::Parser::DBIx::Class> reads a DBIx::Class schema,
 interrogates the columns, and stuffs it all in an $sqlt_schema object.
 
+It's primary use is in deploying database layouts described as a set
+of L<DBIx::Class> classes, to a database. To do this, see the
+L<DBIx::Class::Schema/deploy> method.
+
+This can also be achieved by having DBIx::Class export the schema as a
+set of SQL files ready for import into your database, or passed to
+other machines that need to have your application installed but don't
+have SQL::Translator installed. To do this see the
+L<DBIx::Class::Schema/create_ddl_dir> method.
