DBIx::Class::Manual::Example - Simple CD database example

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This tutorial will guide you through the proeccess of setting up and testing a very basic CD database using Mysql, with DBIx::Class::Schema as the database frontend.

The database consists of the following:

 table 'artist' with columns:  artistid, name
 table 'cd'     with columns:  cdid, artist, title
 table 'track'  with columns:  trackid, cd, title


And these rules exists:

 one artist can have many cds
 one cd belongs to one artist
 one cd can have many tracks
 one track belongs to one cd


=head2 Installation

=head3 Create the database/tables and populate them with a few records

  CREATE DATABASE cdtestdb ;
  USE cdtestdb;

  CREATE TABLE artist (
   artistid INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
   name CHAR( 40 ) NOT NULL ,
   PRIMARY KEY ( artistid ) 
  );

  CREATE TABLE cd (
   cdid INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
   artist INT NOT NULL ,
   title CHAR( 40 ) NOT NULL ,
   PRIMARY KEY ( cdid ) 
  );

  CREATE TABLE track (
   trackid INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
   cd INT NOT NULL ,
   title CHAR( 40 ) NOT NULL ,
   PRIMARY KEY ( trackid )
  ;


  INSERT INTO artist VALUES
   (NULL,'Michael Jackson'),
   (NULL,'Eminem');
 
  INSERT INTO cd VALUES
   (NULL,'1','Thriller'),
   (NULL,'1','Bad'),
   (NULL,'2','The Marshall Mathers LP');
 
  INSERT INTO track VALUES
   (NULL,'1','Beat it'),
   (NULL,'1','Billie Jean'),
   (NULL,'2','Dirty Diana'),
   (NULL,'2','Smooth Criminal'),
   (NULL,'2','Leave Me Alone'),
   (NULL,'3','Stan'),
   (NULL,'3','The Way I Am');



=head3 Set up DBIx::Class::Schema

First, create some dirs and change working directory:

 mkdir app
 mkdir app/DB
 mkdir app/DB/Main
 cd app

   
Then, create the following DBIx::Class::Schema classes:

DB/Main.pm:
   
 package DB::Main;
 use base qw/DBIx::Class::Schema/;
 __PACKAGE__->load_classes(qw/Artist CD Track/);

 1;


DB/Main/Artist.pm:

 package DB::Main::Artist;
 use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
 __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/);
 __PACKAGE__->table('artist');
 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ artistid name /);
 __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('artistid');
 __PACKAGE__->has_many('cds' => 'DB::Main::CD');

 1;


DB/Main/CD.pm:

 package DB::Main::CD;
 use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
 __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/);
 __PACKAGE__->table('cd');
 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ cdid artist title/);
 __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('cdid');
 __PACKAGE__->belongs_to('artist' => 'DB::Main::Artist');
 __PACKAGE__->has_many('tracks' => 'DB::Main::Track');
   
 1;

   
DB/Main/Track.pm:

 package DB::Main::Track;
 use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
 __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/);
 __PACKAGE__->table('track');
 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ trackid cd title/);
 __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('trackid');
 __PACKAGE__->belongs_to('cd' => 'DB::Main::CD');
  
 1;


=head3 Create and run the test script

testdb.pl:

 #!/usr/bin/perl -w

 my $schema = DB::Main->connect('dbi:mysql:cdtestdb', 'serval', 'TNOownage');

     print $cd->title . "\n\n";

 sub get_cds_by_artist {
     my $artistname = shift;
     print "get_cds_by_artist($artistname):\n";
     my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(

             prefetch => [qw/ artist /]
         }
     );
     while (my $cd = $rs->next) {
         print $cd->title . "\n";
     }
     print "\n";
 }



 sub get_artist_by_track {
     my $tracktitle = shift;
     print "get_artist_by_track($tracktitle):\n";
     my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
         {
             'tracks.title' => $tracktitle
         },
         {
             join => {
             'cds' => 'tracks'
             }
         }
     );
     my $artist = $rs->first;
     print $artist->name . "\n\n";
 }

 sub get_artist_by_cd {
     my $cdtitle = shift;
     print "get_artist_by_cd($cdtitle):\n";
     my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
         {
             'cds.title' => $cdtitle
         },
         {
             join     => [qw/ cds /],
         }
     );
     my $artist = $rs->first;
     print $artist->name . "\n\n";
 }



It should output:

 get_tracks_by_cd(Bad):
 Dirty Diana
 Smooth Criminal
 Leave Me Alone

 get_tracks_by_artist(Michael Jackson):
 Beat it
 Billie Jean
 Dirty Diana
 Smooth Criminal
 Leave Me Alone

 get_cd_by_track(Stan):
 The Marshall Mathers LP

 get_cds_by_artist(Michael Jackson):
 Thriller
 Bad

 get_artist_by_track(Dirty Diana):
 Michael Jackson

 get_artist_by_cd(The Marshall Mathers LP):
 Eminem
