Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::MySQL3pm

Usage

  use Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::MySQL;
  Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::MySQL::setup($dbname, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbhost);

Overview

Set up a MySQL database for use as a Wiki::Toolkit store.

Functions

setup

  use Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::MySQL;
  Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::MySQL::setup($dbname, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbhost);

or

  Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::Mysql::setup( $dbh );

You can either provide an active database handle $dbh or connection parameters.

If you provide connection parameters the following arguments are mandatory -- the database name, the username and the password. The username must be able to create and drop tables in the database.

The $dbhost argument is optional -- omit it if the database is local.

NOTE: If a table that the module wants to create already exists, "setup" will leave it alone. This means that you can safely run this on an existing Wiki::Toolkit database to bring the schema up to date with the current Wiki::Toolkit version. If you wish to completely start again with a fresh database, run "cleardb" first.

cleardb

  use Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::MySQL;
  # Clear out all Wiki::Toolkit tables from the database.
  Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::MySQL::cleardb($dbname, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbhost);

or

  Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::Mysql::cleardb( $dbh );

You can either provide an active database handle $dbh or connection parameters.

If you provide connection parameters the following arguments are mandatory -- the database name, the username and the password. The username must be able to drop tables in the database.

The $dbhost argument is optional -- omit if the database is local.

Clears out all Wiki::Toolkit store tables from the database. NOTE that this will lose all your data; you probably only want to use this for testing purposes or if you really screwed up somewhere. Note also that it doesn't touch any Wiki::Toolkit search backend tables; if you have any of those in the same or a different database see either Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::DBIxFTS or Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::SII, depending on which search backend you're using.

Alternative calling syntax

As requested by Podmaster. Instead of passing arguments to the methods as

  ($dbname, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbhost)

you can pass them as

  ( { dbname => $dbname,
      dbuser => $dbuser,
      dbpass => $dbpass,
      dbhost => $dbhost
    }
  )

or indeed as

  ( { dbh => $dbh } )

Note that's a hashref, not a hash.
