    ORLite::Migrate - Extremely light weight SQLite-specific schema
    migration

SYNOPSIS
      # Build your ORM class using a patch timeline
      # stored in the shared files directory.
      use ORLite::Migrate {
          create       =&gt; 1,
          file         =&gt; 'sqlite.db',
          timeline     =&gt; File::Spec-&gt;catdir(
              File::ShareDir::module_dir('My::Module'), 'patches',
          ),
          user_version =&gt; 8,
      };

      # Locate the SQLite database
      my $file = &lt;STDIN&gt;;
      chomp($file);
      unless ( -f $file and -w $file ) {
          die "SQLite file $file does not exist";
      }
  
      # Connect to the SQLite database
      my $dbh = DBI-&gt;connect("dbi:SQLite(RaiseError=&gt;1):$file");
      unless ( $dbh ) {
        die "Failed to connect to $file";
      }

DESCRIPTION
    THIS CODE IS EXPERIMENTAL AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE

    YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

    SQLite is a light weight single file SQL database that provides an
    excellent platform for embedded storage of structured data.

    ORLite is a light weight single class Object-Relational Mapper (ORM)
    system specifically designed for (and limited to only) work with SQLite.

    ORLite::Migrate is a light weight single class Database Schema Migration
    enhancement for ORLite.

    It provides a simple implementation of schema versioning within the
    SQLite database using the built-in "user_version" pragma (which is set
    to zero by default).

    When setting up the ORM class, an additional "timeline" parameter is
    provided, which should point to a directory containing standalone
    migration scripts.

    These patch scripts are named in the form migrate-$version.pl, where
    $version is the schema version to migrate to. A typical timeline
    directory will look something like the following.

      migrate-01.pl
      migrate-02.pl
      migrate-03.pl
      migrate-04.pl
      migrate-05.pl
      migrate-06.pl
      migrate-07.pl
      migrate-08.pl
      migrate-09.pl
      migrate-10.pl

    ORLite::Migrate formulates a migration plan, it will start with the
    current database "user_version", and then step forwards looking for a
    migration script that has the version "user_version + 1".

    It will continue stepping forwards until it runs out of patches to
    execute.

    If ORLite::Migrate is also invoked with a "user_version" param (to
    ensure the schema matches the code correctly) the plan will be checked
    in advance to ensure that the migration will end at the value specified
    by the "user_version" param.

    Because the migration plan can be calculated from any arbitrary starting
    version, it is possible for any user of an older application version to
    install the most current version of an application and be ugraded
    safely.

    The recommended location to store the migration timeline is a shared
    files directory, locatable using one of the functions from
    File::ShareDir.
