NAME

       DBIx::DataSource - Database-independant create and drop functions

SYNOPSIS

         use DBIx::DataSource qw( create_database drop_database );

         create_database( $data_source, $username, $password )
           or warn $DBIx::DataSource::errstr;

         drop_database( $data_source, $username, $password )
           or warn $DBIx::DataSource::errstr;

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements create_database and drop_database functions for databases.  It aims
       to provide a common interface to database creation and deletion regardless of the actual
       database being used.

       Currently supported databases are MySQL and PostgreSQL.  Assistance adding support for
       other databases is welcomed and relatively simple - see DBIx::DataSource::Driver.

FUNCTIONS

       create_database DATA_SOURCE USERNAME PASSWORD
           Create the database specified by the given DBI data source.

       drop_database DATA_SOURCE
           Drop the database specified by the given DBI data source.

BUGS

       If DBI data sources were objects, these functions would be methods.
