NAME
DBIx::DataSource - Database-independant create and drop functions
SYNOPSIS
use DBIx::DataSource qw( create_database drop_database );
create_database( $data_source, $username, $password )
or warn $DBIx::DataSource::errstr;
drop_database( $data_source, $username, $password )

DESCRIPTION
This module implements create_database and drop_database functions for databases. It aims to provide a common interface to database cre-
ation and deletion regardless of the actual database being used.
Currently supported databases are MySQL and PostgreSQL. Assistance adding support for other databases is welcomed and relatively simple -
see DBIx::DataSource::Driver.
FUNCTIONS
