NAME

Bio::Chado::Schema - standard DBIx::Class layer for the Chado database schema

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Chado::Schema;

my $chado = Bio::Chado::Schema->connect( $dsn, $user, $password );

print "number of rows in feature table: ",
      $chado->resultset('Sequence::Feature')->count,
      "\n";

DESCRIPTION

This is a standard object-relational mapping layer for use with the GMOD Chado database schema. This layer is implemented with DBIx::Class, generated with the help of the very fine DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader module.

Chado is an open-source modular database schema for biological data. It is divided into several notional "modules", which are reflected in the namespace organization of this package. Note that modules in the Chado context refers to sets of tables, they are not modules in the Perl sense.

To learn how to use this DBIx::Class ORM layer, a good starting point is the DBIx::Class::Manual.
