NAME

DBIx::Diff::Schema - Compare schema of two DBI databases

VERSION

This document describes version 0.097 of DBIx::Diff::Schema (from Perl distribution DBIx-Diff-Schema), released on 2020-05-06.

SYNOPSIS

 use DBIx::Diff::Schema qw(diff_db_schema diff_table_schema
                           db_schema_eq table_schema_eq);

To compare schemas of whole databases:

 my $res = diff_db_schema($dbh1, $dbh2);
 say "the two dbs are equal" if db_schema_eq($dbh1, $dbh2);

To compare schemas of a single table from two databases:

 my $res = diff_table_schema($dbh1, $dbh2, 'tablename');
 say "the two tables are equal" if table_schema_eq($dbh1, $dbh2, 'tablename');

DESCRIPTION

Currently only tested on Postgres and SQLite.

FUNCTIONS

db_schema_eq

Usage:

 db_schema_eq($dbh1, $dbh2) -> any

Return true if two DBI databases have the same schema.

This is basically just a shortcut for:

 my $res = diff_db_schema(...);
 !%$res;

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• $dbh1* => obj

  DBI database handle for the first database.

• $dbh2* => obj

  DBI database handle for the second database.

Return value: (any)

diff_db_schema

Usage:

 diff_db_schema($dbh1, $dbh2) -> any

Compare schemas of two DBI databases.

This function compares schemas of two DBI databases. You supply two DBI database handles and this function will return a hash:

 {
     # list of tables found in first db but missing in second
     deleted_tables => ['table1', ...],
 
     # list of tables found only in the second db
     added_tables => ['table2', ...],
 
     # list of modified tables, with details for each
     modified_tables => {
         table3 => {
             deleted_columns => [...],
             added_columns => [...],
             modified_columns => {
                 column1 => {
                     old_type => '...',
                     new_type => '...',
                     ...
                 },
             },
         },
     },
 }

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• $dbh1* => obj

  DBI database handle for the first database.

• $dbh2* => obj

  DBI database handle for the second database.

Return value: (any)

diff_table_schema

Usage:

 diff_table_schema($dbh1, $dbh2, $table1, $table2) -> any

Compare schema of two DBI tables.

This function compares schemas of two DBI tables. You supply two DBI database handles along with table name and this function will return a hash:

 {
     deleted_columns => [...],
     added_columns => [...],
     modified_columns => {
         column1 => {
             old_type => '...',
             new_type => '...',
             ...
         },
     },
 }

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• $dbh1* => obj

  DBI database handle for the first database.

• $dbh2* => obj

  DBI database handle for the second database.

• $table1* => str

  Table name.

• $table2 => str

  Second table name (assumed to be the same as first table name if unspecified).

Return value: (any)

table_schema_eq

Usage:

 table_schema_eq($dbh1, $dbh2, $table1, $table2) -> any

Return true if two DBI tables have the same schema.

This is basically just a shortcut for:

 my $res = diff_table_schema(...);
 !%res;

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• $dbh1* => obj

  DBI database handle for the first database.

• $dbh2* => obj

  DBI database handle for the second database.

• $table1* => str

  Table name.

• $table2 => str

  Second table name (assumed to be the same as first table name if unspecified).

Return value: (any)
