Hi Folks
OK. I ran a series of tests:
o If I want to set the schema I can do that in the call to
Rose::DB->register_db, just as I can with driver, database, etc, although I have
not yet found a Rose doc indicating this was possible
o list_tables doesn't need a schema. All of:
- undef
- '%'
- uc $self -> username
produce the same ouput - correct - in the call to $dbh -> table_info. This
surprised me. I thought it had to be the last form (explanation below). For
consistency with the DBI docs, I'll use $self -> schema in the call to
list_tables and at the same time will delete sub schema from Oracle.pm, so it
Just Works. Using an empty string does not work
o I have another program which calls:
- table_info
- column_info
- primary_key_info
- foreign_key_info
(don't we all?) and it turns out the culprit to all this is primary_key_info. In
/its/ schema parameter, I have to have uc $user to get any output. That's why I
set schema to uc $user throughout this program, and hence why I transferred the
info to Oracle.pm. Keep that in mind...
o So why don't I use '%'? My assumption is that under (currently unknown)
circumstances it can return too much information. That is, by using $self ->
schema and by letting you set the schema in the call to register_db, you'll be
getting back info on precisely the schema you specified (i.e. wanted). If you
want table info for another schema (i.e. user), just create another entry in the
registry via register_db, and use that
Time passes...
Yes, I've now run another test for 2 users as just described, and it does what I
expect, by listing tables per schema (after fixing my attempt at sub build_dsn).
