NAME

       Alzabo::Driver::PostgreSQL - PostgreSQL specific Alzabo driver subclass

SYNOPSIS

	 use Alzabo::Driver::PostgreSQL;

DESCRIPTION

       This provides some PostgreSQL specific implementations for the virtual methods in Alzabo::Driver.

METHODS

       connect, create_database, drop_database

       Besides the parameters listed in the Alzabo::Driver docs, the following parameters are accepted:

       * options
       * tty

       schemas

       This method accepts the same parameters as the "connect()" method.

       get_last_id

       Returns the last id created for a sequenced column.

       identifier_length

       Returns the maximum identifier length allowed by the database.  This is really a guess based on the server version, since the actual value
       is set when the server is compiled.

BUGS

       In testing, I found that there were some problems using Postgres in a situation where you start the app, connect to the database, get some
       data, fork, reconnect, and and then get more data.  I suspect that this has more to do with the DBD::Pg driver and/or Postgres itself than
       Alzabo.	I don't believe this would be a problem with an app which forks before ever connecting to the database (such as mod_perl).

NAME

       Alzabo::Create::ColumnDefinition - Column definition object for schema creation

SYNOPSIS

	 use Alzabo::Create::ColumnDefinition;

DESCRIPTION

       This object holds information on a column that might need to be shared with another column.  The reason this class exists is that if a col-
       umn is a key in two or more tables, then some of the information related to that column should change automatically in multiple places
       whenever it changes at all.  Right now this is only type ('VARCHAR', 'NUMBER', etc) and length/precision information.  This object also has
       an 'owner', which is the column which created it.

INHERITS FROM

       "Alzabo::ColumnDefinition"

       Note: all relevant documentation from the superclass has been merged into this document.

METHODS

       new

       This method takes the following parameters:

       * owner => "Alzabo::Create::ColumnDefinition" object
       * type => $type

       It returns a new "Alzabo::Create::ColumnDefinition" object.

       alter

       See the "Alzabo::Column->alter()" method for details.

       type

       Returns the object's type as a string.

       set_type ($string)

       Sets the object's type.

       Throws: "Alzabo::Exception::Params", "Alzabo::Exception::RDBMSRules"

       length

       Returns the length attribute of the column, or undef if there is none.

       precision

       Returns the precision attribute of the column, or undef if there is none.

       set_length

       This method takes the following parameters:

       * length => $length
       * precision => $precision (optional)

       Sets the column's length and precision.	The precision parameter is optional (though some column types may require it if the length is
       set).

       Throws: "Alzabo::Exception::Params", "Alzabo::Exception::RDBMSRules"

       owner

       Returns the "Alzabo::Create::Column" object that owns this definitions (the column that created it).
