SQL::Tr...::DiaUml(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so the top of this page literally says SQL::Tr...::DiaUml(3), and it's filed under User Contributed Perl Documentation. The manual name is SQL::Tr...::DiaUml(3) (yes, with the little ... in the middle, iykyk). The name line is: Produces dia UML diagrams from schema. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie, here's the whole vibe in code, exactly how the page shows it:

         use SQL::Translator;
         my $translator     = SQL::Translator->new(
             from           => 'MySQL',
             filename       => 'foo_schema.sql',
             to             => 'DiaUml',
         );
         print $translator->translate;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Currently you get one class per table in the schema, and each class gets a table stereotype (the original literally says “with the a table stereotype” — iconic little typo moment, but the meaning is clear). The fields are added as attributes of the classes and their datatypes set.

🚨 heads up: it does not currently set any of the relationships. Not one. 😭

⚠️ and no layout either — it doesn't do any layout, so all the classes are in one big stack.

But it's still useful, fr fr: you can use the layout tools in Dia to automatically arrange them horizontally or vertically. slay. ✨

🎀 Producer Args 🎀

This section is in the original and it is empty — literally zero producer args listed, so no cap, I'm not inventing any. 💅

🌈 TODO 🌈

The future-era list, directly from the page:

• Add the foreign keys from the schema as UML relations.
• Layout the classes.
