NAME

       Class::DBI::Pg - Class::DBI extension for Postgres

SYNOPSIS

         use strict;
         use base qw(Class::DBI::Pg);

         __PACKAGE__->set_db(Main => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=dbname', 'user', 'password');
         __PACKAGE__->set_up_table('film');

DESCRIPTION

       Class::DBI::Pg automate the setup of Class::DBI columns and primary key for Postgres.

       select Postgres system catalog and find out all columns, primary key and SERIAL type
       column.

       create table.

        CREATE TABLE cd (
            id SERIAL NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
            title TEXT,
            artist TEXT,
            release_date DATE
        );

       setup your class.

        package CD;
        use strict;
        use base qw(Class::DBI::Pg);

        __PACKAGE__->set_db(Main => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=db', 'user', 'password');
        __PACKAGE__->set_up_table('cd');

       This is almost the same as the following way.

        package CD;

        use strict;
        use base qw(Class::DBI);

        __PACKAGE__->set_db(Main => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=db', 'user', 'password');
        __PACKAGE__->table('cd');
        __PACKAGE__->columns(Primary => 'id');
        __PACKAGE__->columns(All => qw(id title artist release_date));
        __PACKAGE__->sequence('cd_id_seq');
