NAME

Modwheel::DB - Abstract factory class for Modwheel database drivers.

VERSION

v0.2.1

SYNOPSIS

    my $db = Modwheel::DB->new({ modwheel => $modwheel });
    $db->connect or die "Couldn't connect to database: " . $db->errstr;

    # [ ...do something with the database here...  ]

    $db->disconnect if $db->connected;

DESCRIPTION

This class is just a wrapper for database driver classes.

MORE INFORMATION

See Modwheel::DB::Base instead.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

CONSTRUCTOR

Modwheel::DB->new({modwheel => $modwheel})

This function creates a DB class based on the current database type. The database type is selected from the configuration entry

    Site:
        $MySiteName:
            database:
                type: $MyDatabaseType

So if $MyDatabaseType is MySQL, the object returned by ->new( ) is actually a Modwheel::DB::MySQL object.

This way we can support different database systems for each instance.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

See the database directive in Modwheel::Manual::Config

DEPENDENCIES

It requires the module you have specified as database type in the configuration.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None known at this moment.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

If you have a module that doesn't include '::' in the name, it will add Modwheel::Template:: to the name.

DIAGNOSTICS

Be sure that the module specified in the database:type: section of the coniguration file is installed and is loadable.

If the module name includes the characters '::', it will use the full module name, if it doesn't it will add Modwheel::DB:: to the front of the name. So if the module name is:

MyCompany::OurDB::ModwheelSupport

it will load that module. If the name is PostgreSQL however, it will load:

Modwheel::DB::PostgreSQL
