To implement a driver for your database:
1) If you can create a database with an SQL command through DBI/DBD, simply provide a parse_dsn class method which returns a list consisting of the *actual* data source to use in DBI->connect and the SQL.
package DBIx::DataSource::NewDatabase;
use DBIx::DataSource::Driver;
@ISA = qw( DBIx::DataSource::Driver );
sub parse_dsn {
my( $class, $action, $dsn ) = @_;
# $action is `create' or `drop'
# for example, if you parse parse $dsn for $database,
# $sql = "$action $database";
# you can die on errors - it'll be caught
( $new_dsn, $sql );
}
2) Otherwise, you'll need to write create_database and drop_database class methods.
package DBIx::DataSource::NewDatabase;
sub create_database {
my( $class, $dsn, $user, $pass ) = @_;
# for success, return true
# for failure, die (it'll be caught)
}
sub drop_database {
my( $class, $dsn, $user, $pass ) = @_;
# for success, return true
# for failure, die (it'll be caught)
}
