Getting Started

Instantiation

Instantiate a driver-specific schema object with a matching PDO instance:

<?php
use Aura\SqlSchema\ColumnFactory;
use Aura\SqlSchema\MysqlSchema; // for MySQL
use Aura\SqlSchema\PgsqlSchema; // for PostgreSQL
use Aura\SqlSchema\SqliteSchema; // for Sqlite
use Aura\SqlSchema\SqlsrvSchema; // for Microsoft SQL Server
use PDO;

// a PDO connection
$pdo = new PDO(...);

// a column definition factory
$column_factory = new ColumnFactory();

// the schema discovery object
$schema = new MysqlSchema($pdo, $column_factory);
?>

Fetching Table Lists

To get a list of tables in the database, issue fetchTableList():

<?php
$tables = $schema->fetchTableList();
foreach ($tables as $table) {
    echo $table . PHP_EOL;
}
?>

Fetching Column Information

To get information about the columns in a table, issue fetchTableCols():

<?php
$cols = $schema->fetchTableCols('table_name');
foreach ($cols as $name => $col) {
    echo "Column $name is of type "
       . $col->type
       . " with a size of "
       . $col->size
       . PHP_EOL;
}
?>

Each column description is a Column object with the following properties:

  • name: (string) The column name

  • type: (string) The column data type. Data types are as reported by the database.

  • size: (int) The column size.

  • scale: (int) The number of decimal places for the column, if any.

  • notnull: (bool) Is the column marked as NOT NULL?

  • default: (mixed) The default value for the column. Note that sometimes this will be null if the underlying database is going to set a timestamp automatically.

  • autoinc: (bool) Is the column auto-incremented?

  • primary: (bool) Is the column part of the primary key?
