NAME

       DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Manual::UpgradingFromV4 - Important Information Related to
       Upgrading from Version 0.04006

What Changed

       •   add_column

           The new Loader detects much more information about columns and sets flags like
           "is_auto_increment" that it didn't set before.

       •   RelBuilder

           The new RelBuilder will give you nicer accessor names for relationships, so you will
           no longer have conflicts between a foreign key column and the relationship accessor
           itself (if the FK is named "_id".)

           It will also more correctly infer the relationship type, e.g. some relationships that
           were previously detected as a "has_many" will now be a "might_have" (when it detects a
           unique constraint on the foreign key column.)

           Also "cascade_delete" and "cascade_copy" are turned off for by default for "has_many"
           and "might_have" relationships, while "belongs_to" relationships are created with
           "on_delete => 'CASCADE'" and "on_update => 'CASCADE'" by default. This is overridable
           via relationship_attrs.

       •   moniker_map

           Table names are now singularized when determining the "Result" class names. So the
           table "user_roles" would have become "UserRoles" in 0.04006 but now becomes "UserRole"
           instead.

       •   use_namespaces

           Now defaults to on. See "use_namespaces" in DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Base and
           "load_namespaces" in DBIx::Class::Schema.

       •   Support for more databases

           We now support Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase, and there are also many improvements
           to the other backends.

Backward Compatibility

       In backward compatibility mode, the Loader will use the old relationship names and types,
       will not singularize monikers for tables, and "use_namespaces" will be off.

       To control this behavior see "naming" in DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Base and
       "use_namespaces" in DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Base.

   Static Schemas
       When reading a "Schema.pm" from a static schema generated with an 0.04 version of Loader,
       backward compatibility mode will default to on, unless overridden with the "naming" and/or
       "use_namespaces" attributes.

   Dynamic Schemas
       Dynamic schemas will always by default use 0.04006 mode and have "use_namespaces" off.

       To upgrade a dynamic schema, set the "naming" and "use_namespaces" attributes (which is
       proxied to the loader) in your "Schema.pm":

           __PACKAGE__->naming('current');
           __PACKAGE__->use_namespaces(1);
