SYNOPSIS
use strict;
use base qw(Class::DBI::Pg);
__PACKAGE__->set_db(Main => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=dbname', 'user', 'password');
__PACKAGE__->set_up_table('film');
DESCRIPTION
Class::DBI::Pg automate the setup of Class::DBI columns and primary key for Postgres.select Postgres system catalog and find out all columns, primary key and SERIAL type column.
create table.
CREATE TABLE cd (
id SERIAL NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
title TEXT,
artist TEXT,
release_date DATE
);
setup your class.
package CD;
use strict;
use base qw(Class::DBI::Pg);
__PACKAGE__->set_db(Main => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=db', 'user', 'password');
__PACKAGE__->set_up_table('cd');
This is almost the same as the following way.
package CD;
use strict;
use base qw(Class::DBI);
__PACKAGE__->set_db(Main => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=db', 'user', 'password');
__PACKAGE__->table('cd');
__PACKAGE__->columns(Primary => 'id');
__PACKAGE__->columns(All => qw(id title artist release_date));
__PACKAGE__->sequence('cd_id_seq');
