Publisher review:DBD::Solid module is the low level driver to access the Solid database using the DBI interface. This module is the low level driver to access the Solid database using the DBI interface.
The tests kinda work with the 'new style' environment variables DBI_DSN, DBI_USER, DBI_PASS introduced with DBI 0.86. See the DBI documentation for details.
'new style' examples:setenv SOLID_HOME /usr/local/soliddb setenv SOLID_DSN "tcp localhost 1313" setenv DBI_USER dbasetenv DBI_PASS dba
The supplied test will connect to the database using the value of the DBI_USER environment variable so you should set that to the correct value before starting the test. Don't forget to CREATE the user (see SOLID Server documentation) when you aren't using an existing database user.
When you want to use a remote SOLID server or have more than one SOLID Server running then you must set the SOLID_DSN environment variable to connect to the database.
UNIX (bourne shell) example: prompt> SOLID_USER="perltest perltest" prompt> SOLID_DSN="TCP/IP myhost.mydomain 1313" prompt> export SOLID_USER SOLID_DSNTest your settings by connecting to the database using the solsql tool supplied with SOLID:
prompt> solsql $SOLID_DSN $DBI_USER $DBI_PASS
This should connect you to the SOLID server. Once you can do that then you can test DBD::Solid knowing that it should work. make test make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 (if any of the t/* tests fail) make install (if the tests look okay)TEST NOTES: - Most of the test scripts use a common subroutine (in t/testenv.pm) to obtain information about the database connection. To start the tests _without_ running 'make', you may either imitate the way a 'make test' calls t/*.t (e.g. perl t/02base.t) or modify the scripts so that testenv() is not longer used or within the scripts.
- The tests aren't self contained; instead, they rely on the existance of tables created while running t/02base.t. Because these test tables are removed by t/99drop.t, they must be recreated by running t/02base.t before trying one of the later test scripts.
