NAME 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) # AUTHOR Al Newkirk, awncorp@cpan.org LICENSE Copyright (C) 2011-2019, Al Newkirk, et al.
