NAME

Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::Pg - Set up tables for a Wiki::Toolkit store in a Postgres database.

SYNOPSIS

use Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::Pg;
Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::Pg::setup($dbname, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbhost);

Omit $dbhost if the database is local.

DESCRIPTION

Set up a Postgres database for use as a Wiki::Toolkit store.

FUNCIONS

setup

use Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::Pg;
Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::Pg::setup($dbname, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbhost);

or

Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::Pg::setup( $dbh );

You can either provide an active database handle $dbh or connection parameters.

If you provide connection parameters the following arguments are mandatory -- the database name, the username and the password. The username must be able to create and drop tables in the database.

The $dbhost argument is optional -- omit it if the database is local.

NOTE: If a table that the module wants to create already exists, setup will leave it alone. This means that you can safely run this on an existing Wiki::Toolkit database to bring the schema up to date with the current Wiki::Toolkit version. If you wish to completely start again with a fresh database, run cleardb first.

cleardb

use Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::Pg;

# Clear out all Wiki::Toolkit tables from the database.
Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::Pg::cleardb($dbname, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbhost);

or

Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::Pg::cleardb( $dbh );

You can either provide an active database handle $dbh or connection parameters.

If you provide connection parameters the following arguments are mandatory -- the database name, the username and the password. The username must be able to drop tables in the database.

The $dbhost argument is optional -- omit it if the database is local.

Clears out all Wiki::Toolkit store tables from the database. NOTE that this will lose all your data; you probably only want to use this for testing purposes or if you really screwed up somewhere. Note also that it doesn't touch any Wiki::Toolkit search backend tables; if you have any of those in the same or a different database see Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::DBIxFTS or Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::SII, depending on which search backend you're using.

ALTERNATIVE CALLING SYNTAX

As requested by Podmaster. Instead of passing arguments to the methods as

($dbname, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbhost)

you can pass them as

( { dbname => $dbname,
    dbuser => $dbuser,
    dbpass => $dbpass,
    dbhost => $dbhost
  }
)

or indeed as

( { dbh => $dbh } )

Note that's a hashref, not a hash.
