Class::DBI::Loader and Postgres schemas

I have a rather large postgres database with multiple schemas in it. I would like to use Class::DBI::Loader to autogenerate the Class::DBI classes, but only for a single schema. Under DBI, I would typically do something like:

$dbh->do("set search_path to $SCHEMA")
[download]

to limit access to a given schema. Is there a way to do this with Class::DBI::Loader?

Thanks,
Sean

Not currently, but it appears you can hack it to work. In Class::DBI::Loader::Pg.pm there is a line: `return $dbh->tables( undef, "public", "", "table", { noprefix => 1, pg_noprefix => 1 } );` [download] Replace the "public" with the name of your schema and it should work as you want. UPDATE: I've sent a patch off to the maintainer for this so hopefully it will be in the next release for you. Frank Wiles <frank@wiles.org> http://www.wiles.org	[reply] [d/l]

Always good to hack. Thanks for sending off the patch. I guess it should also be possible to override db_main using another base class (?), but I haven't tried that yet. Sean	[reply]

I just uploaded Class::DBI::Loader::Kinship to CPAN to support schemas for Pg , plus other fixes.	[reply]
