While or after constructing the object, pass an open database handle, then call C to determine database metadata and construct a GraphViz graph from the table and field information. =head1 METHODS The following methods are defined by this class; all other method calls are passed to the underlying GraphViz object: =over 4 =item new( [$dbh] ) Constructs the object; also creates a GraphViz object. The constructor accepts an optional open database handle. =item set_dbh($dbh) Sets the database handle. =item get_dbh() Returns the database handle. =item is_table($table) Checks the database metadata whether the argument is a valid table name. =item is_foreign_key($table, $field) Determines whether the field belonging to the table is a foreign key into some other table. If so, it is expected to return the name of that table. If not, it is expected to return a false value. For example, if there is a table called "product" and another table contains a field called "product_id", then to indicate that this field is a foreign key into the product table, the method returns "product". This is the logic implemented in this class. You can override this method in a subclass to suit your needs. =item graph_tables() This method goes through all tables and fields and calls appropriate methods to determine which tables and which dependencies exist, then hand the results over to GraphViz. It returns the GraphViz object. =back =head1 TODO =over 4 =item * Test with various database drivers to see whether they support the metadata interface. =item * Make each table a vertical port with dependencies using those ports. =item * Provide the possibility to name edges to specify the type of relationship ('has-a', 'is-a', etc.). =back =head1 BUGS None known so far.
