The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: DBIx::Normalizer
DSLIP: bdpOg
description: 1st to 2nd normal form DB table converter
userid: GMAX (Giuseppe Maxia)
chapterid: 7 (Database_Interfaces)
communities:
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=132513
similar:
rationale:
The Normalizer works with database tables, using the DBI as
interface. Currently, it only works with MySQL tables, even though
the algorithm is general, and it could be applied to other DBDs in
future versions. Therefore I think that DBIx::Normalizer should be
the most appropriate namespace. Moreover, being under DBIx, it will
be easily separated from modules that deal with homonym functions
for Unicode.
The Normalizer is a OO module to help the Database Designer to
convert database tables from 1st to 2nd Normal form. The algorithm
is mostly SQL based, but the Perl interface makes the task much
easier than manual coding. Using this module, fifteen lines of Perl
are enough to accomplish most normalization tasks. Fine tuning of
input/output is also available.
Future versions will also include support for common tasks when
converting from 0th to 1st normal form.
There hasn't been any such utility available so far in the Free
Software community.
