===========================================================================
                   Release of DDL::Oracle, Version 1.00
===========================================================================

CHANGES

Added support for the following Oracle8i features:
    Indexes using the COMPRESSION attribute
    Indexes using column(s) with the DESCending attribute
    Indexes using column(s) based on FUNCTIONS

Adapted defrag.pl to handle tablespaces having no tables (indexes only)

DESCRIPTION

Designed for Oracle DBA's and users, for Oracle versions 7.3, 8.0 and 8i.  
Reverse engineers database objects (tables, indexes, users, profiles, 
tablespaces, roles, constraints, etc.).  Generates DDL to
*resize* tables and indexes to the provided standard or to a user
defined standard.  Can reorganize/defragment tablespaces.

SYNOPSIS

use DBI;
use DDL::Oracle;

my $dbh = DBI->connect(
                        "dbi:Oracle:dbname",
                        "username",
                        "password",
                        {
                         PrintError => 0,
                         RaiseError => 1
                        }
                      );

# Use default resizing and schema options.
# query default DBA_xxx tables (could use USER_xxx for non-DBA types)
DDL::Oracle->configure(
                        dbh    => $dbh,
                      );

# Create a list of one or more objects
my $sth = $dbh->prepare(
       "SELECT
               owner
             , name
        FROM
               dba_tables
        WHERE
               tablespace_name = 'MY_TBLSP'    -- your millage may vary
       "
    );
$sth->execute;
my $list = $sth->fetchall_arrayref;

my $obj = DDL::Oracle->new(
                            type  => "table",
                            list  => $list,                          );
                          );

my $ddl = $obj->create;      # or $obj->resize;  or $obj->drop;  etc.

print $ddl;    # Use STDOUT so user can redirect
 to desired file.
