Well, that's what deploy() is *for* - deploying to the database you're
connected to.
If you're trying to just generate the .sql file then you want either
create_deployment_statements or the new create_ddl_dir in -current.

Good thought, and yes please.

Nah, you just missed out on a particular subtlety. In any case, while
incomplete/incorrect docs on CPAN might be a bad thing the phrase "you've got
to start somewhere" springs to mind - and we'd be more than happy to help with
editing, tweaking and corrections. Make a start, RFC it to the list and see
what people think - worst case scenario you've learned more about DBIC :)
