Types::SQL - a library of SQL types
version v0.7.0
use Types::SQL -types; my $type = Varchar[16];
This module provides a type library of SQL types. These are Type::Tiny objects that are augmented with a dbic_column_info method that returns column information for use with DBIx::Class.
dbic_column_info
The following types are provided:
Blob
my $type = Blob;
Returns a blob data type.
blob
Text
my $type = Text;
Returns a text data type.
text
Varchar
my $type = Varchar[ $size ];
Returns a varchar data type, with an optional size parameter.
varchar
Char
my $type = Char[ $size ];
Returns a char data type, with an optional size parameter.
char
If $size is omitted, then it will default to 1.
$size
Integer
my $type = Integer[ $precision ];
Returns a integer data type, with an optional precision parameter.
integer
SmallInt
This is shorthand for Integer[5].
Integer[5]
BigInt
This is shorthand for Integer[19].
Integer[19]
Serial
my $type = Serial[ $precision ];
Returns a serial data type, with an optional precision parameter.
serial
Numeric
my $type = Numeric[ $precision, $scale ];
Returns a integer data type, with optional precision and scale parameters.
If $scale is omitted, then it is assumed to be 0.
$scale
0
Any type that has these types as a parent can have column information extracted using Types::SQL::Util.
Alternatively, you can specify a custom dbic_column_info method in a type, e.g.:
my $type = Type::Tiny->new( name => 'MyType', my_methods => { dbic_column_info => sub { my ($self) = @_; return ( data_type => 'custom', parameter => 1234, ); }, }, ... );
The method should return a hash of values that are passed to the add_column method of DBIx::Class::ResultSource.
add_column
Since v0.7.0, the this module requires Perl v5.14 or later.
Future releases may only support Perl versions released in the last ten years.
If you need this module on Perl v5.10, please use one of the v0.6.x versions of this module. Significant bug or security fixes may be backported to those versions.
Type::Tiny.
Types::SQL::Util, which provides a utility function for translating these types and other types from Types::Standard into column information for DBIx::Class::ResultSource.
