Hi maintainers of marvellous tool,
Could the FAQ include some pointers to finding out the valid
$source->add_columns(foo => { data_types => ??? })
please?
I realise it is a complex one because it depends on the Storage, but
it would save time if there were answers for the common backends,
plus how to find out for the others.
Specifically I was looking for how to set up an enum field. I found
this works (for Oracle and PostgreSQL anyway),
stype => { data_type => 'enum', extra => { list => [ @STYPE ] }, ... }
Hoping this helps the next person / me in a few years when I forget
again,
