DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::DBI::MSSQL3pm

Overview

Base driver for Microsoft SQL Server, used by DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::DBI::Sybase::Microsoft_SQL_Server for support via DBD::Sybase and DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::DBI::ODBC::Microsoft_SQL_Server for support via DBD::ODBC.

See DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader and DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Base for usage information.

Case sensitivity

Most MSSQL databases use "CI" (case-insensitive) collation, for this reason generated column names are lower-cased as this makes them easier to work with in DBIx::Class.

We attempt to detect the database collation at startup for any database included in db_schema, and set the column lowercasing behavior accordingly, as lower-cased column names do not work on case-sensitive databases.

To manually control case-sensitive mode, put:

    preserve_case => 1|0

in your Loader options.

See preserve_case.

NOTE: this option used to be called "case_sensitive_collation", but has been renamed to a more generic option.
