NAME

Tangram::Deploy - prepare a database for use with a Schema

SYNOPSIS

	use Tangram::Core;
	use Tangram::Deploy;

	$schema = Tangram::Schema->new( $hashref );

	# deploy to opened DBI handle
	$dbh = DBI->connect(...);
	$schema->deploy($dbh, $schema);

	# write SQL to FILE
	$schema->deploy( \*FILE );

	# write SQL to STDOUT
	$schema->deploy();
   

DESCRIPTION

This module adds two functions to Tangram::Schema, deploy() and retreat().

INSTANCE METHODS

deploy( HANDLE )

Writes SQL statements to HANDLE. The SQL code prepares a database for use with this Schema, and consists mostly in a series of CREATE TABLE instructions.

HANDLE may be a DBI connection handle, a file handle or undef (in which case the SQL code is sent to STDOUT).

The SQL code is only guaranteed to work against an empty database.

retreat( HANDLE )

Writes SQL statements to HANDLE. The SQL code removes whatever was set up by deploy().

HANDLE may be a DBI connection handle, a file handle or undef (in which case the SQL code is sent to STDOUT).

The SQL code is only guaranteed to work against a database that was deployed using exactly the same schema.
