SQL::Tr...::MySQL(3)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this is SQL::Tr...::MySQL(3), from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's the MySQL-specific producer for SQL::Translator. Iconic behavior, no cap. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Use it via SQL::Translator, bestie:

use SQL::Translator;

my $t = SQL::Translator->new( parser => '...', producer => 'MySQL', '...' );
$t->translate;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This module will literally produce text output of the schema suitable for MySQL. Periodt. But there are still some issues to be worked out with syntax differences between MySQL versions 3 and 4 (SET foreign_key_checks, character sets for fields, etc.) — so yeah, it's giving “works but watch out” energy. 😭

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

This producer takes a single optional producer_arg "mysql_version", which provides the desired version for the target database. By default MySQL v3 is assumed, and statements pertaining to any features introduced in later versions (e.g. CREATE VIEW) are not produced.

Valid version specifiers for "mysql_version" are listed here. That's the line, bestie — I'm not hiding them, the page just says “listed here.” 👀

🎀 Table Types 🎀

Normally the tables will be created without any explicit table type given and so will use the MySQL default.

Any tables involved in foreign key constraints automatically get a table type of InnoDB, unless this is overridden by setting the "mysql_table_type" extra attribute explicitly on the table. Slay. 💅

🍓 Extra attributes. 🍓

The producer has main character energy and recognises the following extra attributes on the Schema objects.

• field.list — Set the list of allowed values for Enum fields.
• field.binary, field.unsigned, field.zerofill — Set the MySQL field options of the same name.
• field.renamed_from, table.renamed_from — Use when producing diffs to indicate that the current table/field has been renamed from the old name as given in the attribute value.
• table.mysql_table_type — Set the type of the table e.g. 'InnoDB', 'MyISAM'. This will be automatically set for tables involved in foreign key constraints if it is not already set explicitly. See "Table Types".

Please note that the "ENGINE" option is the preferred method of specifying the MySQL storage engine to use, but this method still works for backwards compatibility.

• table.mysql_charset, table.mysql_collate — Set the table's default character set and collation order.
• field.mysql_charset, field.mysql_collate — Set the field's character set and collation order.
