DBIx::Class::ResultSource - Result source object

=head1 SYNOPSIS

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A ResultSource is a component of a schema from which results can be directly
retrieved, most usually a table (see L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource::Table>)

=head1 METHODS

sub new {
  my ($class, $attrs) = @_;
  $class = ref $class if ref $class;
  my $new = bless({ %{$attrs || {}} }, $class);
  $new->{resultset_class} ||= 'DBIx::Class::ResultSet';

  }

*add_column = \&add_columns;

=head2 add_columns

  $table->add_columns(qw/col1 col2 col3/);

  $table->add_columns('col1' => \%col1_info, 'col2' => \%col2_info, ...);

Adds columns to the result source. If supplied key => hashref pairs uses
the hashref as the column_info for that column.

=head2 add_column

  $table->add_column('col' => \%info?);

Convenience alias to add_columns
