22 DBIx::Class is faster than older ORMs like Class::DBI but it still isn't
23 designed primarily for speed. Sometimes you need to quickly retrieve the data
24 from a massive resultset, while skipping the creation of fancy row objects.
25 Specifying this class as a C<result_class> for a resultset will change C<< $rs->next >>
26 to return a plain data hash-ref (or a list of such hash-refs if C<< $rs->all >> is used).
28 There are two ways of applying this class to a resultset:
34 Specify C<< $rs->result_class >> on a specific resultset to affect only that
35 resultset (and any chained off of it); or
39 Specify C<< __PACKAGE__->result_class >> on your source object to force all
40 uses of that result source to be inflated to hash-refs - this approach is not
50 # Generally people use this to gain as much speed as possible. If a new &mk_hash is
51 # implemented, it should be benchmarked using the maint/benchmark_hashrefinflator.pl
52 # script (in addition to passing all tests of course :). Additional instructions are
53 # provided in the script itself.
56 # This coderef is a simple recursive function
57 # Arguments: ($me, $prefetch) from inflate_result() below
60 if (ref $_[0] eq 'ARRAY') { # multi relationship
61 return [ map { $mk_hash->(@$_) || () } (@_) ];
65 # the main hash could be an undef if we are processing a skipped-over join
66 $_[0] ? %{$_[0]} : (),
68 # the second arg is a hash of arrays for each prefetched relation
70 { $_ => $mk_hash->( @{$_[1]->{$_}} ) }
71 ( $_[1] ? (keys %{$_[1]}) : () )
74 # if there is at least one defined column consider the resultset real
75 # (and not an emtpy has_many rel containing one empty hashref)

96 return $mk_hash->($_[2], $_[3]);
106 This will not work for relationships that have been prefetched. Consider the
109 my $artist = $artitsts_rs->search({}, {prefetch => 'cds' })->first;
111 my $cds = $artist->cds;
112 $cds->result_class('DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator');
113 my $first = $cds->first;
115 C<$first> will B<not> be a hashref, it will be a normal CD row since
116 HashRefInflator only affects resultsets at inflation time, and prefetch causes
117 relations to be inflated when the master C<$artist> row is inflated.
121 Column value inflation, e.g., using modules like
122 L<DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime>, is not performed.
123 The returned hash contains the raw database values.
