c-dbi-classgenerator - a script to generate Class::DBI table classes
This script interrogates a database to figure out its structure and spits out a bunch of classes for use with Class::DBI.
c-dbi-classgenerator -D dbi:mysql:... username password \ -d MyApp/lib \ -b MyApp::DB
Compulsory, the directory in which to put generated classes
Compulsory, he three parameters to pass to DBI->connect(), eg
to DBI->connect()
-D dbi:mysql:dbname=WillowIsBest btvsfan p4sSw0rd
if the username or password are blank, pass an empty parameter:
-D dbi:SQLite:dbfile=WillowIsBest '' ''
The classname to use for the superclass which holds the database connection and which loads all the various table classes for you.
Optional, a list of table / class pairs. If not specified, all tables will be extracted from the db.
This should be considered to be pre-production code. It's probably chock full of exciting bugs.
