    Test::DB

ABSTRACT

    Temporary Databases for Testing

SYNOPSIS

      package main;
    
      use Test::DB;
    
      my $tdb = Test::DB->new;

DESCRIPTION

    This package provides a framework for setting up and tearing down
    temporary databases for testing purposes. This framework requires a
    user (optionally with password) which has the ability to create new
    databases and works by creating test-specific databases owned by the
    user specified using the naming convention:
    test_db_{time}_{proc}_{rand}.

LIBRARIES

    This package uses type constraints from:

    Types::Standard

METHODS

    This package implements the following methods:

 create

      create(Str :$database, Str %options) : Maybe[InstanceOf["Test::DB::Object"]]

    The create method generates a database based on the type specified and
    returns a Test::DB::Object with an active connection, dbh and dsn. If
    the database specified doesn't have a corresponding database drive this
    method will returned the undefined value. The type of database can be
    omitted if the TESTDB_DATABASE environment variable is set, if not the
    type of database must be either sqlite, mysql, or postgres. Any options
    provided are passed along to the test database object class
    constructor.

    create example #1

        # given: synopsis
      
        $tdb->create; # or $tdb->create(%options)
      
        # <Test::DB::Object>
