From 8c186bb5272e731f89e7639f462bf4d7c1789e34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wiz Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2005 18:45:43 +0000 Subject: Fix DESCR, it really should say: This module implements an OO-interface to database schemas. Using this module, you can create a database schema with an OO Perl interface. You can read the schema from an existing database. You can save the schema to disk and restore it from different process. Most importantly, DBIx::DBSchema can write SQL CREATE statements for different databases from a single source. Currently supported databases are MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and Sybase. DBIx::DBSchema will attempt to use generic SQL syntax for other databases. Assistance adding support for other databases is welcomed. --- databases/p5-DBIx-DBSchema/DESCR | 20 +++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) (limited to 'databases') diff --git a/databases/p5-DBIx-DBSchema/DESCR b/databases/p5-DBIx-DBSchema/DESCR index d53f23c1d66..6150aa4de7c 100644 --- a/databases/p5-DBIx-DBSchema/DESCR +++ b/databases/p5-DBIx-DBSchema/DESCR @@ -1,9 +1,11 @@ -This module helps abstract the process of working with complex -schemas of relational SQL database tables.
