DESCRIPTION

This module extends DBIx::Class::Schema::Versioned using simple 'since' and 'until' tokens within result classes to specify the schema version at which classes and columns were introduced or removed. Column since/until definitions are included as part of 'versioned' info in add_column(s).

since

When a class is added to a schema at a specific schema version version then a 'since' attribute must be added to the class which returns the version at which the class was added. For example:

 __PACKAGE__->resultset_attributes({ versioned => { since => '0.002' }});

It is not necessary to add this to the initial version of a class since any class without this atribute is assumed to have existed for ever.

Using 'since' in a column or relationship definition denotes the version at which the column/relation was added. For example:

 __PACKAGE__->add_column(
    "age" => {
        data_type => "integer", is_nullable => 1,
        versioned => { since => '0.002' }
    }
 );

For changes to column_info such as a change of data_type see "changes".

Note: if the Result containing the column includes a class-level since then there is no need to add since markers for columns created at the same version.

Relationships are handled in the same way as columns:

 __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(
    'bar',
    'MyApp::Schema::Result::Bar',
    'bars_id',
    { versioned => { since => '0.002' } },
 );

until

When used as a class attribute this should be the schema version at which the class is to be removed. The underlying database table will be removed when the schema is upgraded to this version. Example definitions:

 __PACKAGE__->resultset_attributes({ versioned => { until => '0.7' }});

 __PACKAGE__->add_column(
    "age" => {
        data_type => "integer", is_nullable => 1,
        versioned => { until => '0.5' }
    }
 );

Using 'until' in a column or relationship definition will cause removal of the column/relation from the table when the schema is upgraded to this version.

renamed_from

This is always used alongside 'since' in the renamed class/column and there must also be a corresponding 'until' on the old class/column.

NOTE: when renaming a class the 'renamed_from' value is the table name of the old class and NOT the class name.

For example when renaming a class:

 package MyApp::Schema::Result::Foo;

 __PACKAGE__->table('foos');
 __PACKAGE__->resultset_attributes({ versioned => { until => '0.5 }});

 package MyApp::Schema::Result::Fooey;

 __PACKAGE__->table('fooeys');
 __PACKAGE__->resultset_attributes({
    versioned => { since => '0.5, renamed_from => 'foos' }
 });

And when renaming a column:

 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
    "height" => {
        data_type => "integer",
        versioned => { until => '0.002' }
    },
    "width" => {
        data_type => "integer", is_nullable => 0,
        versioned => { since => '0.002', renamed_from => 'height' }
    },
 );

As can been seen in the example it is possible to modify column definitions at the same time as a rename but care should be taken to ensure that any data modification (such as ensuring there are no longer null values when is_nullable => 0 is introduced) must be handled via "Upgrade.pm".

NOTE: if columns are renamed at the same version that a class/table is renamed (for example a renamed PK) then you MUST also add renamed_from to the column as otherwise data from that column will be lost. In this special situation adding since to the column is not required.

changes

Column definition changes are handled using the changes token. A hashref is created for each version where the column definition changes which details the new column definition in effect from that change revision. For example:

 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
    "item_weight",
    {
        data_type => "integer", is_nullable => 1, default_value => 4,
        versioned => { until => '0.001 },
    },
    "weight",
    {
        data_type => "integer", is_nullable => 1,
        versioned => {
            since        => '0.002',
            renamed_from => 'item_weight',
            changes => {
                '0.4' => {
                    data_type   => "numeric",
                    size        => [10,2],
                    is_nullable => 1,
                }
                '0.401' => {
                    data_type   => "numeric",
                    size        => [10,2],
                    is_nullable => 0,
                    default_value => "0.0",
                }
            }
        }
    }
 );

Note: the initial column definition should never be changed since that is the definition to be used from when the column is first created until the first change is effected.

Upgrade.pm

For details on how to apply data modifications that might be required during an upgrade see DBIx::Class::Schema::Versioned::Inline::Upgrade.

VERSION NUMBERS

Under the hood all version numbers are handled using Perl::Version which can lead to confusion if you do not understand how Perl versions are manipulated. For example:

  $a = Perl::Version->new(0.4)
  $b = Perl::Version->new(0.3)
  $a > $b                           # TRUE

But things can start to look very odd as soon as we use different numbers of decimal places:

  $a = Perl::Version->new(0.12)
  $b = Perl::Version->new(0.30)
  $a > $b                           # TRUE

And just to add to potential confusion:

  $a = Perl::Version->new(0.12)
  $b = Perl::Version->new("0.30")
  $a > $b                           # FALSE

The motto of this story is that you must be careful how you manage your versions. Please read Perl::Version pod carefully and make sure you understand how it operates. To avoid unexpected behaviour it is recommended that you always quote the version and if possible use a dotted-decimal with at least three components or use simple cardinal numbers which can never be confused.

ATTRIBUTES

schema_versions

A Set::Equivalence set of PerVersion objects containing all of the available schema versions.

Versions should be added using "add_version".

METHODS

Many methods are inherited or overloaded from DBIx::Class::Schema::Versioned.

add_version( $version [, $v2, ... ] )

Adds one or more versions to "schema_versions" set. Arguments can either be PerlVersion objects or simple scalars which will be coerced into such.

connection

Overloaded method. This checks the DBIC schema version against the DB version and uses the DB version if it exists or the schema version if the database is currently unversioned.

deploy

Inherited method. Same as "deploy" in DBIx::Class::Schema but also calls install.

downgrade

Call this to attempt to downgrade your database from the version it is at to the version this DBIC schema is at. If they are the same it does nothing.

downgrade_single_step

install

Inherited method. Call this to initialise a previously unversioned database.

get_db_version

Override "get_db_version" in DBIx::Class::Schema::Versioned to return the version as a PerlVersion object.

ordered_schema_versions

  $self->ordered_schema_version('desc');

Optional argument defines the order (ascending or descending). With no arg (or an arg we cannot determine direction from) results in ascending.

schema_first_version

Returns the current schema class' $FIRST_VERSION in a normalised way.

If the schema does not define $FIRST_VERSION then all resultsets must specify the version at which they were added using "since".

schema_version

Override "schema_version" in DBIx::Class::Schema to return the version as a PerlVersion object.

stringified_ordered_schema_versions

Calls "ordered_schema_versions" with the same args and converts the returned list elements to stringified versions.

upgrade

Inherited method. Call this to attempt to upgrade your database from the version it is at to the version this DBIC schema is at. If they are the same it does nothing.

upgrade_single_step

Arguments: db_version - the version currently within the db
Arguments: target_version - the version to upgrade to

Overloaded method. Call this to attempt to upgrade your database from the db_version to the target_version. If they are the same it does nothing.

All upgrade operations within this step are performed inside a single transaction so either all succeed or all fail. If successful the dbix_class_schema_versions table is updated with the target_version.

This method may be called repeatedly by the "upgrade" method to upgrade through a series of updates.

versioned_schema

Arguments: version - the schema version we want to deploy

Parse schema and remove classes, columns and relationships that are not valid for the requested version.

CANDY

See DBIx::Class::Schema::Versioned::Inline::Candy.

CAVEATS

Please anticipate API changes in this early state of development.

TODO

  • Sequence renaming in Pg, MySQL (maybe?). Not required for SQLite.

  • Index renaming for auto-created indexes for UCs, etc - Pg + others?

  • Downgrades

  • Schema validation
