The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: DB::Introspector DSLIP: adpOp description: Extract and analyze database metadata. userid: MASAHJI (masahji) chapterid: 7 (Database_Interfaces) communities:
similar: rationale: DB::Introspector looks into database metadata and derives detailed table level and foreign key information in a way that conforms to a collection of common interfaces across all dbs. The DB::Introspector::Utils::* classes provide a collection of algorithms, which carry out relationship traversal and SQL generation algorithms (like finding the column level and table level mappings between two indirectly related tables and generating DDL code). Because the DB::Introspector::Utils algorithms take advantage of the DB::Introspector's database independent metadata classes, these traversal algorithms can be performed on any database for which there exists an introspector (eg DB::Introspector::Oracle and DB::Introspector::PostgresSQL). enteredby: MASAHJI (masahji) enteredon: Sun Nov 2 21:14:43 2003 GMT The resulting entry would be: DB:: ::Introspector adpOp Extract and analyze database metadata.
