SQL::Translator::Producer::Oracle - Oracle SQL producer
SYNOPSIS
use SQL::Translator;
my $t = SQL::Translator->new( parser => '...', producer => 'Oracle' );
print $translator->translate( $file );
DESCRIPTION
Creates an SQL DDL suitable for Oracle.
producer_args
delay_constraints
This option remove the primary key and other key constraints from the CREATE TABLE statement and adds ALTER TABLEs at the end with it.
quote_field_names
Controls whether quotes are being used around column names in generated DDL.
quote_table_names
Controls whether quotes are being used around table, sequence and trigger names in generated DDL.
NOTES
Autoincremental primary keys
This producer uses sequences and triggers to autoincrement primary key columns, if necessary. SQLPlus and DBI expect a slightly different
syntax of CREATE TRIGGER statement. You might have noticed that this producer returns a scalar containing all statements concatenated by
newlines or an array of single statements depending on the context (scalar, array) it has been called in.
SQLPlus expects following trigger syntax:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER ai_person_id
BEFORE INSERT ON person
FOR EACH ROW WHEN (
new.id IS NULL OR new.id = 0
)
BEGIN
SELECT sq_person_id.nextval
INTO :new.id
FROM dual;
END;
/
Whereas if you want to create the same trigger using "do" in DBI, you need to omit the last slash:
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Oracle:mysid', 'scott', 'tiger');
$dbh->do("
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER ai_person_id
BEFORE INSERT ON person
FOR EACH ROW WHEN (
new.id IS NULL OR new.id = 0
)
BEGIN
SELECT sq_person_id.nextval
INTO :new.id
FROM dual;
END;
");
If you call this producer in array context, we expect you want to process the returned array of statements using DBI like "deploy" in
DBIx::Class::Schema does.
To get this working we removed the slash in those statements in version 0.09002 of SQL::Translator when called in array context. In scalar
context the slash will be still there to ensure compatibility with SQLPlus.
