SYNOPSIS
use SQL::Translator;
use SQL::Translator::Parser::MySQL;
my $translator = SQL::Translator->new;
$translator->parser("SQL::Translator::Parser::MySQL");
DESCRIPTION
The grammar is influenced heavily by Tim Bunce's ``mysql2ora'' grammar.Here's the word from the MySQL site (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/CREATE_TABLE.html):
CREATE [TEMPORARY] TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] tbl_name [(create_definition,...)] [table_options] [select_statement] or CREATE [TEMPORARY] TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] tbl_name LIKE old_table_name; create_definition: col_name type [NOT NULL | NULL] [DEFAULT default_value] [AUTO_INCREMENT] [PRIMARY KEY] [reference_definition] or PRIMARY KEY (index_col_name,...) or KEY [index_name] (index_col_name,...) or INDEX [index_name] (index_col_name,...) or UNIQUE [INDEX] [index_name] (index_col_name,...) or FULLTEXT [INDEX] [index_name] (index_col_name,...) or [CONSTRAINT symbol] FOREIGN KEY [index_name] (index_col_name,...) [reference_definition] or CHECK (expr) type: TINYINT[(length)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL] or SMALLINT[(length)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL] or MEDIUMINT[(length)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL] or INT[(length)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL] or INTEGER[(length)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL] or BIGINT[(length)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL] or REAL[(length,decimals)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL] or DOUBLE[(length,decimals)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL] or FLOAT[(length,decimals)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL] or DECIMAL(length,decimals) [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL] or NUMERIC(length,decimals) [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL] or CHAR(length) [BINARY] or VARCHAR(length) [BINARY] or DATE or TIME or TIMESTAMP or DATETIME or TINYBLOB or BLOB or MEDIUMBLOB or LONGBLOB or TINYTEXT or TEXT or MEDIUMTEXT or LONGTEXT or ENUM(value1,value2,value3,...) or SET(value1,value2,value3,...) index_col_name: col_name [(length)] reference_definition: REFERENCES tbl_name [(index_col_name,...)] [MATCH FULL | MATCH PARTIAL] [ON DELETE reference_option] [ON UPDATE reference_option] reference_option: RESTRICT | CASCADE | SET NULL | NO ACTION | SET DEFAULT table_options: TYPE = {BDB | HEAP | ISAM | InnoDB | MERGE | MRG_MYISAM | MYISAM } or ENGINE = {BDB | HEAP | ISAM | InnoDB | MERGE | MRG_MYISAM | MYISAM } or AUTO_INCREMENT = # or AVG_ROW_LENGTH = # or [ DEFAULT ] CHARACTER SET charset_name or CHECKSUM = {0 | 1} or COLLATE collation_name or COMMENT = "string" or MAX_ROWS = # or MIN_ROWS = # or PACK_KEYS = {0 | 1 | DEFAULT} or PASSWORD = "string" or DELAY_KEY_WRITE = {0 | 1} or ROW_FORMAT= { default | dynamic | fixed | compressed } or RAID_TYPE= {1 | STRIPED | RAID0 } RAID_CHUNKS=# RAID_CHUNKSIZE=# or UNION = (table_name,[table_name...]) or INSERT_METHOD= {NO | FIRST | LAST } or DATA DIRECTORY="absolute path to directory" or INDEX DIRECTORY="absolute path to directory"
A subset of the ALTER TABLE syntax that allows addition of foreign keys:
ALTER [IGNORE] TABLE tbl_name alter_specification [, alter_specification] ... alter_specification: ADD [CONSTRAINT [symbol]] FOREIGN KEY [index_name] (index_col_name,...) [reference_definition]
A subset of INSERT that we ignore:
INSERT anything
ARGUMENTS
This parser takes a single optional parser_arg "mysql_parser_version", which provides the desired version for the target database. Any statement in the processed dump file, that is commented with a version higher than the one supplied, will be stripped.The default "mysql_parser_version" is set to the conservative value of 40000 (MySQL 4.0)
Valid version specifiers for "mysql_parser_version" are listed here
