💖 DataSo...::mysql(3pm) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for DataSo...::mysql — it's the DataSo...::mysql(3pm) situation, it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the world, and it's genuinely so much simpler than it sounds. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

DBIx::DataSource::mysql — the MySQL driver for DBIx::DataSource. that's it. that's the whole name. short, sweet, iconic 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe, copy-paste ready, no notes:

  use DBIx::DataSource;

  use DBIx::DataSource qw( create_database drop_database );

  create_database( "dbi:mysql:$database", $username, $password )
    or warn $DBIx::DataSource::errstr;

  create_database( "dbi:mysql:database=$database;host=$hostname;port=$port",
                   $username, $password )
    or warn $DBIx::DataSource::errstr;

  drop_database( "dbi:mysql:$database", $username, $password )
    or warn $DBIx::DataSource::errstr;

  drop_database( "dbi:mysql:database=$database;host=$hostname;port=$port",
                  $username, $password )
    or warn $DBIx::DataSource::errstr;

see how there's two flavours? either you just hand over "dbi:mysql:$database" and let it do its thing, or you go full main character and spell out "dbi:mysql:database=$database;host=$hostname;port=$port" so you control exactly where it's connecting. both are valid, both are giving 🦋

and the or warn $DBIx::DataSource::errstr; at the end of every single one? that's your little safety net. if the call fails, you get told why instead of just sitting there confused. protect that line with your life 💅
