Alzabo...nition(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to Alzabo::Create::ColumnDefinition — it's the Column definition object for schema creation 💅 she's a Perl module, she lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, section 3pm, and she is so ready to hold your column info for you 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Alzabo::Create::ColumnDefinition;

that's it. that's the whole vibe. go off 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like. this object holds info about a column that might need to be shared with another column 👯‍♀️ and the reason this class even exists is genuinely iconic: if a column is a key in two or more tables, then some of the info about that column should just… change automatically in all the places whenever it changes at all. like, no manual syncing, she handles it 💅

right now the only stuff that auto-updates is type ('VARCHAR', 'NUMBER', etc) and length/precision info. that's the whole list, no cap.

this object also has an 'owner', which is literally the column that created it. main character origin story fr 💫
