73 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
74 | |
fbd83464 |
75 | DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader automates the definition of a |
18fca96a |
76 | DBIx::Class::Schema by scanning table schemas and setting up |
77 | columns and primary keys. |
a78e3fed |
78 | |
18fca96a |
79 | DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader supports MySQL, Postgres, SQLite and DB2. See |
80 | L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Generic> for more, and |
81 | L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Writing> for notes on writing your own |
82 | db-specific subclass for an unsupported db. |
a78e3fed |
83 | |
457eb8a6 |
84 | This module requires L<DBIx::Class> 0.05 or later, and obsoletes |
85 | L<DBIx::Class::Loader> for L<DBIx::Class> version 0.05 and later. |
a78e3fed |
86 | |
89ecd854 |
87 | While on the whole, the bare table definitions are fairly straightforward, |
88 | relationship creation is somewhat heuristic, especially in the choosing |
89 | of relationship types, join types, and relationship names. The relationships |
90 | generated by this module will probably never be as well-defined as |
91 | hand-generated ones. Because of this, over time a complex project will |
92 | probably wish to migrate off of L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader>. |
93 | |
94 | It is designed more to get you up and running quickly against an existing |
95 | database, or to be effective for simple situations, rather than to be what |
96 | you use in the long term for a complex database/project. |
97 | |
98 | That being said, transitioning your code from a Schema generated by this |
99 | module to one that doesn't use this module should be straightforward and |
100 | painless, so don't shy away from it just for fears of the transition down |
101 | the road. |

133 | |
134 | This is an accessor in the generated Schema class for accessing |
135 | the L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Generic> -based loader object |
136 | that was used during construction. See the |
137 | L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Generic> docs for more information |
138 | on the available loader methods there. |

140 | =head1 KNOWN BUGS |
141 | |
142 | Aside from relationship definitions being less than ideal in general, |
143 | this version is known not to handle the case of multiple relationships |
144 | between the same pair of tables. All of the relationship code will |
145 | be overhauled on the way to 0.03, at which time that bug will be |
146 | addressed. |
