SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The directive allows regexp specification of an "ignore list" that prevents DatabaseAuto from automatically configuring all tables found. (For example, you will want to exclude tables in non-default schemas.)

Note that instead of using this directive, you may prefer to directly specify schema argument to the DatabaseAuto directive. (DatabaseAutoIgnore easily ignores more tables than you intend).

DIRECTIVE TYPE AND DEFAULT VALUE

Catalog directive

EXAMPLES

DatabaseAutoIgnore  ^sql_
DatabaseAuto   dbi:Pg:dbname=DBNAME;host=PGHOST

NOTES

This directive must be set before DatabaseAuto to have meaningful effect.

For more about Interchange and databases, and supported formats, see database glossary entry.

AVAILABILITY

DatabaseAutoIgnore is available in Interchange versions:

5.4.0-5.7.0 (cvs-head)

SOURCE

Interchange 5.7.0:

['DatabaseAutoIgnore',   'regex',          ''],

my($var, $value) = @_;

eval {  
  my $never = 'NeVAirBE';
  $never =~ m{$value};
};

if($@) {
  config_error("Bad regular expression in $var.");
}
return $value;
}
