DESCRIPTION

22       This module provides methods to apply DDL changes to your database
23       using SQL diff files. Normally these diff files would be created using
24       "create_ddl_dir" in DBIx::Class::Schema.
25
26       A table called dbix_class_schema_versions is created and maintained by
27       the module. This is used to determine which version your database is
28       currently at.  Similarly the $VERSION in your DBIC schema class is used
29       to determine the current DBIC schema version.
30
31       The upgrade is initiated manually by calling "upgrade" on your schema
32       object, this will attempt to upgrade the database from its current
33       version to the current schema version using a diff from your
34       upgrade_directory. If a suitable diff is not found then no upgrade is
35       possible.
36
37       NB: At the moment, only SQLite and MySQL are supported. This is due to
38       spotty behaviour in the SQL::Translator producers, please help us by
39       enhancing them. Ask on the mailing list or IRC channel for details
40       (community details in DBIx::Class).
41

GETTING STARTED

43       Firstly you need to setup your schema class as per the "SYNOPSIS", make
44       sure you have specified an upgrade_directory and an initial $VERSION.
45
46       Then you'll need two scripts, one to create DDL files and diffs and
47       another to perform upgrades. Your creation script might look like a bit
48       like this:
49
50         use strict;
51         use Pod::Usage;
52         use Getopt::Long;
53         use MyApp::Schema;
54
55         my ( $preversion, $help );
56         GetOptions(
57           'p|preversion:s'  => \$preversion,
58         ) or die pod2usage;
59
60         my $schema = MyApp::Schema->connect(
61           $dsn,
62           $user,
63           $password,
64         );
65         my $sql_dir = './sql';
66         my $version = $schema->schema_version();
67         $schema->create_ddl_dir( 'MySQL', $version, $sql_dir, $preversion );
68
69       Then your upgrade script might look like so:
70
71         use strict;
72         use MyApp::Schema;
73
74         my $schema = MyApp::Schema->connect(
75           $dsn,
76           $user,
77           $password,
78         );
79
80         if (!$schema->get_db_version()) {
81           # schema is unversioned
82           $schema->deploy();
83         } else {
84           $schema->upgrade();
85         }
86
87       The script above assumes that if the database is unversioned then it is
88       empty and we can safely deploy the DDL to it. However things are not
89       always so simple.
90
91       if you want to initialise a pre-existing database where the DDL is not
92       the same as the DDL for your current schema version then you will need
93       a diff which converts the database's DDL to the current DDL. The best
94       way to do this is to get a dump of the database schema (without data)
95       and save that in your SQL directory as version 0.000 (the filename must
96       be as with "ddl_filename" in DBIx::Class::Schema) then create a diff
97       using your create DDL script given above from version 0.000 to the
98       current version. Then hand check and if necessary edit the resulting
99       diff to ensure that it will apply. Once you have done all that you can
100       do this:
101
102         if (!$schema->get_db_version()) {
103           # schema is unversioned
104           $schema->install("0.000");
105         }
106
107         # this will now apply the 0.000 to current version diff
108         $schema->upgrade();
109
110       In the case of an unversioned database the above code will create the
111       dbix_class_schema_versions table and write version 0.000 to it, then
112       upgrade will then apply the diff we talked about creating in the
113       previous paragraph and then you're good to go.

METHODS

116   upgrade_directory
117       Use this to set the directory your upgrade files are stored in.
118
119   backup_directory
120       Use this to set the directory you want your backups stored in (note
121       that backups are disabled by default).
122
123   install
124       Arguments: $db_version
125
126       Call this to initialise a previously unversioned database. The table
127       'dbix_class_schema_versions' will be created which will be used to
128       store the database version.
129
130       Takes one argument which should be the version that the database is
131       currently at. Defaults to the return value of "schema_version".
132
133       See "getting_started" for more details.
134
135   deploy
136       Same as "deploy" in DBIx::Class::Schema but also calls "install".
137
138   create_upgrade_path
139       Arguments: { upgrade_file => $file }
140
141       Virtual method that should be overridden to create an upgrade file.
142       This is useful in the case of upgrading across multiple versions to
143       concatenate several files to create one upgrade file.
144
145       You'll probably want the db_version retrieved via $self->get_db_version
146       and the schema_version which is retrieved via $self->schema_version
147
148   ordered_schema_versions
149       Returns: a list of version numbers, ordered from lowest to highest
150
151       Virtual method that should be overridden to return an ordered list of
152       schema versions. This is then used to produce a set of steps to upgrade
153       through to achieve the required schema version.
154
155       You may want the db_version retrieved via $self->get_db_version and the
156       schema_version which is retrieved via $self->schema_version
157
158   upgrade
159       Call this to attempt to upgrade your database from the version it is at
160       to the version this DBIC schema is at. If they are the same it does
161       nothing.
162
163       It will call "ordered_schema_versions" to retrieve an ordered list of
164       schema versions (if ordered_schema_versions returns nothing then it is
165       assumed you can do the upgrade as a single step). It then iterates
166       through the list of versions between the current db version and the
167       schema version applying one update at a time until all relevant updates
168       are applied.
169
170       The individual update steps are performed by using
171       "upgrade_single_step", which will apply the update and also update the
172       dbix_class_schema_versions table.
173
174   upgrade_single_step
175       Arguments: db_version - the version currently within the db
176       Arguments: target_version - the version to upgrade to
177
178       Call this to attempt to upgrade your database from the db_version to
179       the target_version. If they are the same it does nothing.
180
181       It requires an SQL diff file to exist in your upgrade_directory,
182       normally you will have created this using "create_ddl_dir" in
183       DBIx::Class::Schema.
184
185       If successful the dbix_class_schema_versions table is updated with the
186       target_version.
187
188       This method may be called repeatedly by the upgrade method to upgrade
189       through a series of updates.
190
191   do_upgrade
192       This is an overwritable method used to run your upgrade. The freeform
193       method allows you to run your upgrade any way you please, you can call
194       "run_upgrade" any number of times to run the actual SQL commands, and
195       in between you can sandwich your data upgrading. For example, first run
196       all the CREATE commands, then migrate your data from old to new
197       tables/formats, then issue the DROP commands when you are finished.
198       Will run the whole file as it is by default.
199
200   run_upgrade
201        $self->run_upgrade(qr/create/i);
202
203       Runs a set of SQL statements matching a passed in regular expression.
204       The idea is that this method can be called any number of times from
205       your "do_upgrade" method, running whichever commands you specify via
206       the regex in the parameter. Probably won't work unless called from the
207       overridable do_upgrade method.
208
209   apply_statement
210       Takes an SQL statement and runs it. Override this if you want to handle
211       errors differently.
212
213   get_db_version
214       Returns the version that your database is currently at. This is
215       determined by the values in the dbix_class_schema_versions table that
216       "upgrade" and "install" write to.
217
218   schema_version
219       Returns the current schema class' $VERSION
220
221   backup
222       This is an overwritable method which is called just before the upgrade,
223       to allow you to make a backup of the database. Per default this method
224       attempts to call "$self->storage->backup", to run the standard backup
225       on each database type.
226
227       This method should return the name of the backup file, if appropriate..
228
229       This method is disabled by default. Set $schema->do_backup(1) to enable
230       it.
231
232   connection
233       Overloaded method. This checks the DBIC schema version against the DB
234       version and warns if they are not the same or if the DB is unversioned.
235       It also provides compatibility between the old versions table
236       (SchemaVersions) and the new one (dbix_class_schema_versions).
237
238       To avoid the checks on connect, set the environment var
239       DBIC_NO_VERSION_CHECK or alternatively you can set the ignore_version
240       attr in the forth argument like so:
241
242         my $schema = MyApp::Schema->connect(
243           $dsn,
244           $user,
245           $password,
246           { ignore_version => 1 },
247         );
