The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: DBSchema::Normalizer
DSLIP: bdpOg
description: 1st to 2nd normal form DB table converter
userid: GMAX (Giuseppe Maxia)
chapterid: 7 (Database_Interfaces)
communities:
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=132513
similar:
rationale:
The Normalizer works with database tables, using the DBI as
interface. Currently, it only works with MySQL tables, even though
the algorithm is general, and it could be applied to other DBDs in
future versions. After previous discussions in [EMAIL PROTECTED], it
has been suggested that DBSchema::Normalizer should be the most
appropriate namespace and I agreee. The Normalizer is a OO module to
help the Database Designer to convert database tables from 1st to
2nd Normal form. The algorithm is mostly SQL based, but the Perl
interface makes the task much easier than manual coding. Using this
module, fifteen lines of Perl are enough to accomplish most
normalization tasks. Fine tuning of input/output is also available.
Future versions will also include support for common tasks when
converting from 0th to 1st normal form.
There hasn't been any such utility available so far in the Free
Software community.
