__PACKAGE__->add_columns( all! ) in DBIx::Class ?

[tomgracey]

Dear fountains of perl knowledge

I have been making DBIx::Class packages and writing

__PACKAGE__->table('mytable');
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/column1 column2 column3... /);

I am wondering... what if I simply want to include all of the table columns? Is there not a shorthand?

I couldnt find any reference to this anywhere - which usually means I have the basic concepts wrong...?

Hi

If you already have the schema created in your database you can use DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader.

You can run this from the command line by using the dbicdump script

If you run something like dbicdump -o dump_directory=lib MyApp::Schema $dns $user $pass

then your classes will be created under the lib/MyApp/Schema/Result directory

For more info you can use perldoc dbicdump.

hope this helps.

Arnaud.
