DESCRIPTION

Rose::DB::Registry objects manage information about Rose::DB data sources. Each data source has a corresponding Rose::DB::Registry::Entry object that contains its information. The registry entries are organized in a two-level namespace based on a "domain" and a "type." See the Rose::DB documentation for more information on data source domains and types.

Rose::DB::Registry inherits from, and follows the conventions of, Rose::Object. See the Rose::Object documentation for more information.

CONSTRUCTOR

new PARAMS

Constructs a Rose::DB::Registry object based on PARAMS, where PARAMS are name/value pairs. Any object method is a valid parameter name.

OBJECT METHODS

add_entries ENTRY1 [, ENTRY2, ...]

Add registry entries. Each ENTRY must be either a Rose::DB::Registry::Entry-derived object or reference to a hash of name/value pairs. The name/value pairs must be valid arguments for Rose::DB::Registry::Entry's constructor.

Each ENTRY must have a defined domain and type, either in the Rose::DB::Registry::Entry-derived object or in the name/value pairs. A fatal error will occur if these values are not defined.

If a registry entry for the specified domain and type already exists, then the new entry will overwrite it. If you want to know beforehand whether or not an entry exists under a specific domain and type, use the entry_exists() method.

add_entry ENTRY

Add a registry entry. ENTRY must be either a Rose::DB::Registry::Entry-derived object or a list of name/value pairs. The name/value pairs must be valid arguments for Rose::DB::Registry::Entry's constructor.

The ENTRY must have a defined domain and type, either in the Rose::DB::Registry::Entry-derived object or in the name/value pairs. A fatal error will occur if these values are not defined.

If a registry entry for the specified domain and type already exists, then the new entry will overwrite it. If you want to know beforehand whether or not an entry exists under a specific domain and type, use the entry_exists() method.

delete_domain DOMAIN

Delete an entire domain, including all the registry entries under that domain.

delete_entry PARAMS

Delete the registry entry specified by PARAMS, where PARAMS must be name/value pairs with defined values for domain and type. A fatal error will occur if either one is missing or undefined.

If the specified entry does not exist, undef is returned. Otherwise, the deleted entry is returned.

entry PARAMS

Get the registry entry specified by PARAMS, where PARAMS must be name/value pairs with defined values for domain and type. A fatal error will occur if either one is missing or undefined. If the specified entry does not exist, undef is returned.

entry_exists PARAMS

Returns true if the registry entry specified by PARAMS exists, false otherwise. PARAMS must be name/value pairs with defined values for domain and type. A fatal error will occur if either one is missing or undefined.
