===========================================================================
                   Release of DDL::Oracle, Version 1.01
===========================================================================

CHANGES

Impemented Jan Pazdziora's (adelton@fi.muni.cz) support for Domain Indexes. 
Thanks, Jan!
Jan also sent in a patch which fixed a null PCTINCREASE for some oddball CREATE 
INDEX
statements.

Reported bugs in the following areas were fixed:

 Connections from Oracle7x
 Missing ON DELETE CASCADE in Referential Integrity constraints
 Table and column COMMENTs containing quotes

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.
