new¶

Object constructor.

  my $schema = SQL::Translator::Schema::Index->new;

fields¶

Gets and set the fields the index is on. Accepts a string, list or arrayref; returns an array or array reference. Will unique the field names and keep them in order by the first occurrence of a field name.

  $index->fields('id');
  $index->fields('id', 'name');
  $index->fields( 'id, name' );
  $index->fields( [ 'id', 'name' ] );
  $index->fields( qw[ id name ] );
  my @fields = $index->fields;

is_valid¶

Determine whether the index is valid or not.

  my $ok = $index->is_valid;

name¶

Get or set the index's name.

  my $name = $index->name('foo');

options¶

Get or set the index's options (e.g., "using" or "where" for PG). Returns an array or array reference.

  my @options = $index->options;

table¶

Get or set the index's table object.

  my $table = $index->table;

type¶

Get or set the index's type.

  my $type = $index->type('unique');

Get or set the index's type.

Currently there are only four acceptable types: UNIQUE, NORMAL, FULL_TEXT, and SPATIAL. The latter two might be MySQL-specific. While both lowercase and uppercase types are acceptable input, this method returns the type in uppercase.

equals¶

Determines if this index is the same as another

  my $isIdentical = $index1->equals( $index2 );
