+This tutorial will guide you through the process of setting up and
testing a very basic CD database using SQLite, with DBIx::Class::Schema
as the database frontend.
The database consists of the following:
- table 'artist' with columns: artistid, name
- table 'cd' with columns: cdid, artist, title
- table 'track' with columns: trackid, cd, title
+ table 'artist' with columns: artistid, name
+ table 'cd' with columns: cdid, artist, title
+ table 'track' with columns: trackid, cd, title
And these rules exists:
- one artist can have many cds
- one cd belongs to one artist
- one cd can have many tracks
- one track belongs to one cd
+ one artist can have many cds
+ one cd belongs to one artist
+ one cd can have many tracks
+ one track belongs to one cd
=head2 Installation
Install DBIx::Class via CPAN should be sufficient.
-=head3 Create the database/tables.
+=head3 Create the database/tables
First make and change the directory:
- mkdir app
- cd app
+ mkdir app
+ cd app
+ mkdir db
+ cd db
This example uses SQLite which is a dependency of DBIx::Class, so you
shouldn't have to install extra software.
-Save the following into a example.sql
+Save the following into a example.sql in the directory db
- CREATE TABLE artist (
- artistid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
- name TEXT NOT NULL
- );
+ CREATE TABLE artist (
+ artistid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+ name TEXT NOT NULL
+ );
- CREATE TABLE cd (
- cdid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
- artist INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES artist(artistid),
- title TEXT NOT NULL);
+ CREATE TABLE cd (
+ cdid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+ artist INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES artist(artistid),
+ title TEXT NOT NULL
+ );
- CREATE TABLE track (
- trackid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
- cd INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES cd(cdid),
- title TEXT NOT NULL) ;
+ CREATE TABLE track (
+ trackid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+ cd INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES cd(cdid),
+ title TEXT NOT NULL
+ );
-and create the sqlite database file:
+and create the SQLite database file:
-sqlite3 example.db < example.sql
+ sqlite3 example.db < example.sql
=head3 Set up DBIx::Class::Schema
-First, create some dirs and change working directory:
+Change directory back from db to the directory app:
- mkdir MyDatabase
- mkdir MyDatabase/Main
+ cd ../
+
+Now create some more directories:
+
+ mkdir MyDatabase
+ mkdir MyDatabase/Main
+ mkdir MyDatabase/Main/Result
+ mkdir MyDatabase/Main/ResultSet
Then, create the following DBIx::Class::Schema classes:
