NAME DBIx::SearchBuilder - Encapsulate SQL queries and rows in simple perl objects DESCRIPTION This module provides an object-oriented mechanism for retrieving and updating data in a DBI-accesible database. INSTALLATION $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make test # but see below for how to actually test against a test database # make install TESTING In order to test most of the features of "DBIx::SearchBuilder", you need to provide "make test" with a test database. For each DBI driver that you would like to test, set the environment variables "SB_TEST_FOO", "SB_TEST_FOO_USER", and "SB_TEST_FOO_PASS" to a database name, database username, and database password, where "FOO" is the driver name in all uppercase. You can test as many drivers as you like. (The appropriate "DBD::" module needs to be installed in order for the test to work.) Note that the "SQLite" driver will automatically be tested if "DBD::Sqlite" is installed, using a temporary file as the database. For example: SB_TEST_MYSQL=test SB_TEST_MYSQL_USER=root SB_TEST_MYSQL_PASS=foo \ SB_TEST_PG=test SB_TEST_PG_USER=postgres make test AUTHOR Copyright (c) 2001-2005 Jesse Vincent, jesse@fsck.com.
