NAME

SPOPS::Import::DBI::TableTransform::Pg - Table transformations for PostgreSQL

SYNOPSIS

my $table = qq/
  CREATE TABLE blah ( id %%INCREMENT%% primary key,
                      name varchar(50) )
/;
my $transformer = SPOPS::Import::DBI::TableTransform->new( 'pg' );
$transformer->increment( \$table );
print $table;

# Output:
# CREATE TABLE blah ( id SERIAL primary key,
#                     name varchar(50) )

DESCRIPTION

PostgreSQL-specific type conversions for the auto-increment and other field types.

METHODS

increment

Returns 'SERIAL'

increment_type

Returns 'INT'

datetime

Returns 'TIMESTAMP'

BUGS

None known.

TO DO

Add hook for extra statement

Since PostgreSQL supports a sequence-based increment type, think about adding a hook for an extra statement to be registered and modifying '%%INCREMENT%%' to be 'INT NOT NULL' and the extra statement to create a sequence of a given name.
