NAME
SQL::Translator::Producer::MySQL - MySQL-specific producer for SQL::Translator
SYNOPSIS
Use via SQL::Translator:
use SQL::Translator;
my $t = SQL::Translator->new( parser => '...', producer => 'MySQL', '...' );
$t->translate;
DESCRIPTION
This module will produce text output of the schema suitable for MySQL. There are still some issues to be worked out with syntax differences between MySQL versions 3 and 4 ("SET foreign_key_checks," character sets for fields, etc.).
Table Types
Normally the tables will be created without any explicit table type given and so will use the MySQL default.
Any tables involved in foreign key constraints automatically get a table type of InnoDB, unless this is overridden by setting the mysql_table_type
extra attribute explicitly on the table.
Extra attributes.
The producer recognises the following extra attributes on the Schema objects.
- field.list
-
Set the list of allowed values for Enum fields.
- field.binary field.unsigned field.zerofill
-
Set the MySQL field options of the same name.
- table.mysql_table_type
-
Set the type of the table e.g. 'InnoDB', 'MyISAM'. This will be automatically set for tables involved in foreign key constraints if it is not already set explicitly. See "Table Types".
- mysql_character_set
-
MySql-4.1+. Set the tables character set. Run SHOW CHARACTER SET to see list.
- mysql_collate
-
MySql-4.1+. Set the tables colation order.
- table.mysql_charset table.mysql_collate
-
Set the tables default charater set and collation order.
- field.mysql_charset field.mysql_collate
-
Set the fields charater set and collation order.
