NAME Jifty::DBI - An object-relational mapper DESCRIPTION This module provides an object-oriented mechanism for retrieving and updating data in a DBI-accesible database. This module is the direct descendent of DBIx::SearchBuilder. If you're familiar with SearchBuilder, Jifty::DBI should be quite familiar to you. Jifty::DBI was forked from SearchBuilder to give us the opportunity to seriously clean up the API and internals without breaking existing applications. INSTALLATION $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make test # but see below for how to actually test against a test database # make install TESTING In order to test most of the features of Jifty::DBI, you need to provide "make test" with a test database. For each DBI driver that you would like to test, set the environment variables "JDBI_TEST_FOO", "JDBI_TEST_FOO_USER", and "JDBI_TEST_FOO_PASS" to a database name, database username, and database password, where "FOO" is the driver name in all uppercase. You can test as many drivers as you like. (The appropriate "DBD::" module needs to be installed in order for the test to work.) Note that the "SQLite" driver will automatically be tested if "DBD::Sqlite" is installed, using a temporary file as the database. For example: JDBI_TEST_MYSQL=test JDBI_TEST_MYSQL_USER=root JDBI_TEST_MYSQL_PASS=foo \ JDBI_TEST_PG=test JDBI_TEST_PG_USER=postgres make test AUTHOR Copyright (c) 2001-2005 Jesse Vincent, jesse@fsck.com.
