 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-This module is a component designed to extend L<DBIx::Class::Schema>
-classes, to enable them to upgrade to newer schema layouts. To use this
-module, you need to have called C<create_ddl_dir> on your Schema to
-create your upgrade files to include with your delivery.
+This module provides methods to apply DDL changes to your database using SQL
+diff files. Normally these diff files would be created using
+L<DBIx::Class::Schema/create_ddl_dir>.
 
 A table called I<dbix_class_schema_versions> is created and maintained by the
-module. This contains two fields, 'Version' and 'Installed', which
-contain each VERSION of your Schema, and the date+time it was installed.
+module. This is used to determine which version your database is currently at.
+Similarly the $VERSION in your DBIC schema class is used to determine the
+current DBIC schema version.
 
-The actual upgrade is called manually by calling C<upgrade> on your
-schema object. Code is run at connect time to determine whether an
-upgrade is needed, if so, a warning "Versions out of sync" is
-produced.
+The upgrade is initiated manually by calling C<upgrade> on your schema object,
+this will attempt to upgrade the database from its current version to the current
+schema version using a diff from your I<upgrade_directory>. If a suitable diff is
+not found then no upgrade is possible.
 
-So you'll probably want to write a script which generates your DDLs and diffs
-and another which executes the upgrade.
-
 NB: At the moment, only SQLite and MySQL are supported. This is due to
 spotty behaviour in the SQL::Translator producers, please help us by
-them.

 =head1 GETTING STARTED
 
+Firstly you need to setup your schema class as per the L</SYNOPSIS>, make sure
+you have specified an upgrade_directory and an initial $VERSION.
 
-=cut
+Then you'll need two scripts, one to create DDL files and diffs and another to perform
+upgrades. Your creation script might look like a bit like this:
 
-=head1 METHODS
+  use strict;
+  use Pod::Usage;
+  use Getopt::Long;
+  use MyApp::Schema;
 
-=head2 upgrade_directory
+  my ( $preversion, $help ); 
+  GetOptions(
+    'p|preversion:s'  => \$preversion,
+  ) or die pod2usage;
 
-Use this to set the directory your upgrade files are stored in.
+  my $schema = MyApp::Schema->connect(
+    $dsn,
+    $user,
+    $password,
+  );
+  my $sql_dir = './sql';
+  my $version = $schema->schema_version();
+  $schema->create_ddl_dir( 'MySQL', $version, $sql_dir, $preversion );
 
-=head2 backup_directory
+Then your upgrade script might look like so:
 
-Use this to set the directory you want your backups stored in.
+  use strict;
+  use MyApp::Schema;
 
+  my $schema = MyApp::Schema->connect(
+    $dsn,
+    $user,
+    $password,
+  );
+
+  if (!$schema->get_db_version()) {
+    # schema is unversioned
+    $schema->deploy();
+  } else {
+    $schema->upgrade();
+  }
+
+The script above assumes that if the database is unversioned then it is empty
+and we can safely deploy the DDL to it. However things are not always so simple.
+
+if you want to initialise a pre-existing database where the DDL is not the same
+as the DDL for your current schema version then you will need a diff which 
+converts the database's DDL to the current DDL. The best way to do this is
+to get a dump of the database schema (without data) and save that in your
+SQL directory as version 0.000 (the filename must be as with
+L<DBIx::Class::Schema/ddl_filename>) then create a diff using your create DDL 
+script given above from version 0.000 to the current version. Then hand check
+and if necessary edit the resulting diff to ensure that it will apply. Once you have 
+done all that you can do this:
+
+  if (!$schema->get_db_version()) {
+    # schema is unversioned
+    $schema->install("0.000");
+  }
+
+  # this will now apply the 0.000 to current version diff
+  $schema->upgrade();
+
+In the case of an unversioned database the above code will create the
+dbix_class_schema_versions table and write version 0.000 to it, then 
+upgrade will then apply the diff we talked about creating in the previous paragraph
+and then you're good to go.
