DESCRIPTION

Test::Database::Handle is a very simple class for encapsulating the information about a test database handle.

Test::Database::Handle objects are used within a test script to obtain the necessary information about a test database handle. Handles are obtained through the Test::Database->handles() or Test::Database->handle() methods.

METHODS

Test::Database::Handle provides the following methods:

new( %args )

Return a new Test::Database::Handle with the given parameters (dsn, username, password).

The only mandatory argument is dsn.

The following accessors are available.

dsn()

Return the Data Source Name.

username()

Return the connection username.

password()

Return the connection password.

connection_info()

Return the connection information triplet (dsn, username, password).

dbh( [ $attr ] )

Return the DBI database handle obtained when connecting with the connection triplet returned by connection_info().

The optional parameter $attr is a reference to a hash of connection attributes, passed directly to DBI's connect() method.

dbd()

Return the DBI driver name, as computed from the dsn.
