37 DBIx::Class::ResultSet - Represents a query used for fetching a set of results.
41 my $users_rs = $schema->resultset('User');
42 while( $user = $users_rs->next) {
43 print $user->username;
46 my $registered_users_rs = $schema->resultset('User')->search({ registered => 1 });
47 my @cds_in_2005 = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({ year => 2005 })->all();
51 A ResultSet is an object which stores a set of conditions representing
52 a query. It is the backbone of DBIx::Class (i.e. the really
53 important/useful bit).
55 No SQL is executed on the database when a ResultSet is created, it
56 just stores all the conditions needed to create the query.
58 A basic ResultSet representing the data of an entire table is returned
59 by calling C<resultset> on a L<DBIx::Class::Schema> and passing in a
60 L<Source|DBIx::Class::Manual::Glossary/Source> name.
62 my $users_rs = $schema->resultset('User');
64 A new ResultSet is returned from calling L</search> on an existing
65 ResultSet. The new one will contain all the conditions of the
66 original, plus any new conditions added in the C<search> call.
68 A ResultSet also incorporates an implicit iterator. L</next> and L</reset>
69 can be used to walk through all the L<DBIx::Class::Row>s the ResultSet
72 The query that the ResultSet represents is B<only> executed against
73 the database when these methods are called:
74 L</find>, L</next>, L</all>, L</first>, L</single>, L</count>.
76 If a resultset is used in a numeric context it returns the L</count>.
77 However, if it is used in a boolean context it is B<always> true. So if
78 you want to check if a resultset has any results, you must use C<if $rs
81 =head1 CUSTOM ResultSet CLASSES THAT USE Moose
83 If you want to make your custom ResultSet classes with L<Moose>, use a template
86 package MyApp::Schema::ResultSet::User;
89 use namespace::autoclean;
91 extends 'DBIx::Class::ResultSet';
93 sub BUILDARGS { $_[2] }
97 __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;
101 The L<MooseX::NonMoose> is necessary so that the L<Moose> constructor does not
102 clash with the regular ResultSet constructor. Alternatively, you can use:
104 __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable(inline_constructor => 0);
106 The L<BUILDARGS|Moose::Manual::Construction/BUILDARGS> is necessary because the
107 signature of the ResultSet C<new> is C<< ->new($source, \%args) >>.
111 =head2 Chaining resultsets
113 Let's say you've got a query that needs to be run to return some data
114 to the user. But, you have an authorization system in place that
115 prevents certain users from seeing certain information. So, you want
116 to construct the basic query in one method, but add constraints to it in
121 my $request = $self->get_request; # Get a request object somehow.
122 my $schema = $self->result_source->schema;
124 my $cd_rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({
125 title => $request->param('title'),
126 year => $request->param('year'),
129 $cd_rs = $self->apply_security_policy( $cd_rs );
131 return $cd_rs->all();
134 sub apply_security_policy {
143 =head3 Resolving conditions and attributes
145 When a resultset is chained from another resultset (e.g.:
146 C<< my $new_rs = $old_rs->search(\%extra_cond, \%attrs) >>), conditions
147 and attributes with the same keys need resolving.
149 If any of L</columns>, L</select>, L</as> are present, they reset the
150 original selection, and start the selection "clean".
152 The L</join>, L</prefetch>, L</+columns>, L</+select>, L</+as> attributes
153 are merged into the existing ones from the original resultset.
155 The L</where> and L</having> attributes, and any search conditions, are
156 merged with an SQL C<AND> to the existing condition from the original
159 All other attributes are overridden by any new ones supplied in the
162 =head2 Multiple queries
164 Since a resultset just defines a query, you can do all sorts of
165 things with it with the same object.
167 # Don't hit the DB yet.
168 my $cd_rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({
169 title => 'something',
173 # Each of these hits the DB individually.
174 my $count = $cd_rs->count;
175 my $most_recent = $cd_rs->get_column('date_released')->max();
176 my @records = $cd_rs->all;
178 And it's not just limited to SELECT statements.
184 $cd_rs->create({ artist => 'Fred' });
186 Which is the same as:
188 $schema->resultset('CD')->create({
189 title => 'something',
194 See: L</search>, L</count>, L</get_column>, L</all>, L</create>.
202 =item Arguments: L<$source|DBIx::Class::ResultSource>, L<\%attrs?|/ATTRIBUTES>
204 =item Return Value: L<$resultset|/search>
208 The resultset constructor. Takes a source object (usually a
209 L<DBIx::Class::ResultSourceProxy::Table>) and an attribute hash (see
210 L</ATTRIBUTES> below). Does not perform any queries -- these are
211 executed as needed by the other methods.
213 Generally you never construct a resultset manually. Instead you get one
215 C<< $schema->L<resultset|DBIx::Class::Schema/resultset>('$source_name') >>
216 or C<< $another_resultset->L<search|/search>(...) >> (the later called in
219 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({ title => '100th Window' });
225 If called on an object, proxies to L</new_result> instead, so
227 my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->new({ title => 'Spoon' });
229 will return a CD object, not a ResultSet, and is equivalent to:
231 my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->new_result({ title => 'Spoon' });
233 Please also keep in mind that many internals call L</new_result> directly,
234 so overloading this method with the idea of intercepting new result object
235 creation B<will not work>. See also warning pertaining to L</create>.

294 In list context, C<< ->all() >> is called implicitly on the resultset, thus
295 returning a list of L<result|DBIx::Class::Manual::ResultClass> objects instead.
296 To avoid that, use L</search_rs>.

695 Finds and returns a single row based on supplied criteria. Takes either a
696 hashref with the same format as L</create> (including inference of foreign
697 keys from related objects), or a list of primary key values in the same
698 order as the L<primary columns|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/primary_columns>
699 declaration on the L</result_source>.
701 In either case an attempt is made to combine conditions already existing on
702 the resultset with the condition passed to this method.
704 To aid with preparing the correct query for the storage you may supply the
705 C<key> attribute, which is the name of a
706 L<unique constraint|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_unique_constraint> (the
707 unique constraint corresponding to the
708 L<primary columns|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/primary_columns> is always named
709 C<primary>). If the C<key> attribute has been supplied, and DBIC is unable
710 to construct a query that satisfies the named unique constraint fully (
711 non-NULL values for each column member of the constraint) an exception is
714 If no C<key> is specified, the search is carried over all unique constraints
715 which are fully defined by the available condition.
717 If no such constraint is found, C<find> currently defaults to a simple
718 C<< search->(\%column_values) >> which may or may not do what you expect.
719 Note that this fallback behavior may be deprecated in further versions. If
720 you need to search with arbitrary conditions - use L</search>. If the query
721 resulting from this fallback produces more than one row, a warning to the
722 effect is issued, though only the first row is constructed and returned as
725 In addition to C<key>, L</find> recognizes and applies standard
726 L<resultset attributes|/ATTRIBUTES> in the same way as L</search> does.
728 Note that if you have extra concerns about the correctness of the resulting
729 query you need to specify the C<key> attribute and supply the entire condition
730 as an argument to find (since it is not always possible to perform the
731 combination of the resultset condition with the supplied one, especially if
732 the resultset condition contains literal sql).
734 For example, to find a row by its primary key:

2727 Attempt to create a single new row or a row with multiple related rows
2728 in the table represented by the resultset (and related tables). This
2729 will not check for duplicate rows before inserting, use
2730 L</find_or_create> to do that.
2732 To create one row for this resultset, pass a hashref of key/value
2733 pairs representing the columns of the table and the values you wish to
2734 store. If the appropriate relationships are set up, foreign key fields
2735 can also be passed an object representing the foreign row, and the
2736 value will be set to its primary key.
2738 To create related objects, pass a hashref of related-object column values
2739 B<keyed on the relationship name>. If the relationship is of type C<multi>
2740 (L<DBIx::Class::Relationship/has_many>) - pass an arrayref of hashrefs.
2741 The process will correctly identify columns holding foreign keys, and will
2742 transparently populate them from the keys of the corresponding relation.
2743 This can be applied recursively, and will work correctly for a structure
2744 with an arbitrary depth and width, as long as the relationships actually
2745 exists and the correct column data has been supplied.
2747 Instead of hashrefs of plain related data (key/value pairs), you may
2748 also pass new or inserted objects. New objects (not inserted yet, see
2749 L</new_result>), will be inserted into their appropriate tables.

3208 =item Return Value: $source_alias
3212 Returns the current table alias for the result source this resultset is built
3213 on, that will be used in the SQL query. Usually it is C<me>.
3215 Currently the source alias that refers to the result set returned by a
3216 L</search>/L</find> family method depends on how you got to the resultset: it's
3217 C<me> by default, but eg. L</search_related> aliases it to the related result
3218 source name (and keeps C<me> referring to the original result set). The long
3219 term goal is to make L<DBIx::Class> always alias the current resultset as C<me>
3220 (and make this method unnecessary).
3222 Thus it's currently necessary to use this method in predefined queries (see
3223 L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook/Predefined searches>) when referring to the
3224 source alias of the current result set:
3226 # in a result set class

3249 =item Return Value: L<$resultset|/search>
3253 Act as a barrier to SQL symbols. The resultset provided will be made into a
3254 "virtual view" by including it as a subquery within the from clause. From this
3255 point on, any joined tables are inaccessible to ->search on the resultset (as if
3256 it were simply where-filtered without joins). For example:
3258 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Bar')->search({'x.name' => 'abc'},{ join => 'x' });
3260 # 'x' now pollutes the query namespace
3262 # So the following works as expected
3263 my $ok_rs = $rs->search({'x.other' => 1});
3265 # But this doesn't: instead of finding a 'Bar' related to two x rows (abc and
3266 # def) we look for one row with contradictory terms and join in another table
3267 # (aliased 'x_2') which we never use
3268 my $broken_rs = $rs->search({'x.name' => 'def'});
3270 my $rs2 = $rs->as_subselect_rs;
3272 # doesn't work - 'x' is no longer accessible in $rs2, having been sealed away
3273 my $not_joined_rs = $rs2->search({'x.other' => 1});
3275 # works as expected: finds a 'table' row related to two x rows (abc and def)
3276 my $correctly_joined_rs = $rs2->search({'x.name' => 'def'});
3278 Another example of when one might use this would be to select a subset of
3279 columns in a group by clause:

3926 # XXX: FIXME: Attributes docs need clearing up
3930 Attributes are used to refine a ResultSet in various ways when
3931 searching for data. They can be passed to any method which takes an
3932 C<\%attrs> argument. See L</search>, L</search_rs>, L</find>,
3935 Default attributes can be set on the result class using
3936 L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource/resultset_attributes>. (Please read
3937 the CAVEATS on that feature before using it!)
3939 These are in no particular order:
3945 =item Value: ( $order_by | \@order_by | \%order_by )
3949 Which column(s) to order the results by.
3951 [The full list of suitable values is documented in
3952 L<SQL::Abstract/"ORDER BY CLAUSES">; the following is a summary of
3955 If a single column name, or an arrayref of names is supplied, the
3956 argument is passed through directly to SQL. The hashref syntax allows
3957 for connection-agnostic specification of ordering direction:
3959 For descending order:
3961 order_by => { -desc => [qw/col1 col2 col3/] }
3963 For explicit ascending order:
3965 order_by => { -asc => 'col' }
3967 The old scalarref syntax (i.e. order_by => \'year DESC') is still
3968 supported, although you are strongly encouraged to use the hashref
3969 syntax as outlined above.
3975 =item Value: \@columns | \%columns | $column
3979 Shortcut to request a particular set of columns to be retrieved. Each
3980 column spec may be a string (a table column name), or a hash (in which
3981 case the key is the C<as> value, and the value is used as the C<select>
3982 expression). Adds C<me.> onto the start of any column without a C<.> in
3983 it and sets C<select> from that, then auto-populates C<as> from
3984 C<select> as normal. (You may also use the C<cols> attribute, as in
3985 earlier versions of DBIC, but this is deprecated.)
3987 Essentially C<columns> does the same as L</select> and L</as>.
3989 columns => [ 'foo', { bar => 'baz' } ]
3993 select => [qw/foo baz/],
4000 =item Value: \@columns
4004 Indicates additional columns to be selected from storage. Works the same as
4005 L</columns> but adds columns to the selection. (You may also use the
4006 C<include_columns> attribute, as in earlier versions of DBIC, but this is
4007 deprecated). For example:-
4009 $schema->resultset('CD')->search(undef, {
4010 '+columns' => ['artist.name'],
4014 would return all CDs and include a 'name' column to the information
4015 passed to object inflation. Note that the 'artist' is the name of the
4016 column (or relationship) accessor, and 'name' is the name of the column
4017 accessor in the related table.
4019 B<NOTE:> You need to explicitly quote '+columns' when defining the attribute.
4020 Not doing so causes Perl to incorrectly interpret +columns as a bareword with a
4021 unary plus operator before it.
4023 =head2 include_columns
4027 =item Value: \@columns
4031 Deprecated. Acts as a synonym for L</+columns> for backward compatibility.
4037 =item Value: \@select_columns
4041 Indicates which columns should be selected from the storage. You can use
4042 column names, or in the case of RDBMS back ends, function or stored procedure
4045 $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, {
4048 { count => 'employeeid' },
4049 { max => { length => 'name' }, -as => 'longest_name' }
4054 SELECT name, COUNT( employeeid ), MAX( LENGTH( name ) ) AS longest_name FROM employee
4056 B<NOTE:> You will almost always need a corresponding L</as> attribute when you
4057 use L</select>, to instruct DBIx::Class how to store the result of the column.
4058 Also note that the L</as> attribute has nothing to do with the SQL-side 'AS'
4059 identifier aliasing. You can however alias a function, so you can use it in
4060 e.g. an C<ORDER BY> clause. This is done via the C<-as> B<select function
4061 attribute> supplied as shown in the example above.
4063 B<NOTE:> You need to explicitly quote '+select'/'+as' when defining the attributes.
4064 Not doing so causes Perl to incorrectly interpret them as a bareword with a
4065 unary plus operator before it.
4071 Indicates additional columns to be selected from storage. Works the same as
4072 L</select> but adds columns to the default selection, instead of specifying
4081 =item Value: \@inflation_names
4085 Indicates column names for object inflation. That is L</as> indicates the
4086 slot name in which the column value will be stored within the
4087 L<Row|DBIx::Class::Row> object. The value will then be accessible via this
4088 identifier by the C<get_column> method (or via the object accessor B<if one
4089 with the same name already exists>) as shown below. The L</as> attribute has
4090 B<nothing to do> with the SQL-side C<AS>. See L</select> for details.
4092 $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, {
4095 { count => 'employeeid' },
4096 { max => { length => 'name' }, -as => 'longest_name' }
4105 If the object against which the search is performed already has an accessor
4106 matching a column name specified in C<as>, the value can be retrieved using
4107 the accessor as normal:
4109 my $name = $employee->name();
4111 If on the other hand an accessor does not exist in the object, you need to
4112 use C<get_column> instead:
4114 my $employee_count = $employee->get_column('employee_count');
4116 You can create your own accessors if required - see
4117 L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook> for details.
4123 Indicates additional column names for those added via L</+select>. See L</as>.
4131 =item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names)
4135 Contains a list of relationships that should be joined for this query. For
4138 # Get CDs by Nine Inch Nails
4139 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
4140 { 'artist.name' => 'Nine Inch Nails' },
4141 { join => 'artist' }
4144 Can also contain a hash reference to refer to the other relation's relations.
4147 package MyApp::Schema::Track;
4148 use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
4149 __PACKAGE__->table('track');
4150 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/trackid cd position title/);
4151 __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('trackid');
4152 __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(cd => 'MyApp::Schema::CD');
4155 # In your application
4156 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
4157 { 'track.title' => 'Teardrop' },
4159 join => { cd => 'track' },
4160 order_by => 'artist.name',
4164 You need to use the relationship (not the table) name in conditions,
4165 because they are aliased as such. The current table is aliased as "me", so
4166 you need to use me.column_name in order to avoid ambiguity. For example:
4168 # Get CDs from 1984 with a 'Foo' track
4169 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
4172 'tracks.name' => 'Foo'
4174 { join => 'tracks' }
4177 If the same join is supplied twice, it will be aliased to <rel>_2 (and
4178 similarly for a third time). For e.g.
4180 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({
4181 'cds.title' => 'Down to Earth',
4182 'cds_2.title' => 'Popular',
4184 join => [ qw/cds cds/ ],
4187 will return a set of all artists that have both a cd with title 'Down
4188 to Earth' and a cd with title 'Popular'.
4190 If you want to fetch related objects from other tables as well, see L</prefetch>
4193 NOTE: An internal join-chain pruner will discard certain joins while
4194 constructing the actual SQL query, as long as the joins in question do not
4195 affect the retrieved result. This for example includes 1:1 left joins
4196 that are not part of the restriction specification (WHERE/HAVING) nor are
4197 a part of the query selection.
4199 For more help on using joins with search, see L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Joining>.
4205 =item Value: (0 | 1)
4209 When set to a true value, indicates that any rows fetched from joined has_many
4210 relationships are to be aggregated into the corresponding "parent" object. For
4211 example, the resultset:
4213 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({}, {
4214 '+columns' => [ qw/ tracks.title tracks.position / ],
4219 While executing the following query:
4221 SELECT me.*, tracks.title, tracks.position
4223 LEFT JOIN track tracks
4224 ON tracks.cdid = me.cdid
4226 Will return only as many objects as there are rows in the CD source, even
4227 though the result of the query may span many rows. Each of these CD objects
4228 will in turn have multiple "Track" objects hidden behind the has_many
4229 generated accessor C<tracks>. Without C<< collapse => 1 >>, the return values
4230 of this resultset would be as many CD objects as there are tracks (a "Cartesian
4231 product"), with each CD object containing exactly one of all fetched Track data.
4233 When a collapse is requested on a non-ordered resultset, an order by some
4234 unique part of the main source (the left-most table) is inserted automatically.
4235 This is done so that the resultset is allowed to be "lazy" - calling
4236 L<< $rs->next|/next >> will fetch only as many rows as it needs to build the next
4237 object with all of its related data.
4239 If an L</order_by> is already declared, and orders the resultset in a way that
4240 makes collapsing as described above impossible (e.g. C<< ORDER BY
4241 has_many_rel.column >> or C<ORDER BY RANDOM()>), DBIC will automatically
4242 switch to "eager" mode and slurp the entire resultset before constructing the
4243 first object returned by L</next>.
4245 Setting this attribute on a resultset that does not join any has_many
4246 relations is a no-op.
4248 For a more in-depth discussion, see L</PREFETCHING>.
4254 =item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names)
4258 This attribute is a shorthand for specifying a L</join> spec, adding all
4259 columns from the joined related sources as L</+columns> and setting
4260 L</collapse> to a true value. For example, the following two queries are
4263 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({}, {
4264 prefetch => { cds => ['genre', 'tracks' ] },
4269 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({}, {
4270 join => { cds => ['genre', 'tracks' ] },
4274 { +{ "cds.$_" => "cds.$_" } }
4275 $schema->source('Artist')->related_source('cds')->columns
4278 { +{ "cds.genre.$_" => "genre.$_" } }
4279 $schema->source('Artist')->related_source('cds')->related_source('genre')->columns
4282 { +{ "cds.tracks.$_" => "tracks.$_" } }
4283 $schema->source('Artist')->related_source('cds')->related_source('tracks')->columns
4288 Both producing the following SQL:
4290 SELECT me.artistid, me.name, me.rank, me.charfield,
4291 cds.cdid, cds.artist, cds.title, cds.year, cds.genreid, cds.single_track,
4292 genre.genreid, genre.name,
4293 tracks.trackid, tracks.cd, tracks.position, tracks.title, tracks.last_updated_on, tracks.last_updated_at
4296 ON cds.artist = me.artistid
4297 LEFT JOIN genre genre
4298 ON genre.genreid = cds.genreid
4299 LEFT JOIN track tracks
4300 ON tracks.cd = cds.cdid
4301 ORDER BY me.artistid
4303 While L</prefetch> implies a L</join>, it is ok to mix the two together, as
4304 the arguments are properly merged and generally do the right thing. For
4305 example, you may want to do the following:
4307 my $artists_and_cds_without_genre = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
4308 { 'genre.genreid' => undef },
4310 join => { cds => 'genre' },
4315 Which generates the following SQL:
4317 SELECT me.artistid, me.name, me.rank, me.charfield,
4318 cds.cdid, cds.artist, cds.title, cds.year, cds.genreid, cds.single_track
4321 ON cds.artist = me.artistid
4322 LEFT JOIN genre genre
4323 ON genre.genreid = cds.genreid
4324 WHERE genre.genreid IS NULL
4325 ORDER BY me.artistid
4327 For a more in-depth discussion, see L</PREFETCHING>.
4333 =item Value: $source_alias
4337 Sets the source alias for the query. Normally, this defaults to C<me>, but
4338 nested search queries (sub-SELECTs) might need specific aliases set to
4339 reference inner queries. For example:
4342 ->related_resultset('CDs')
4343 ->related_resultset('Tracks')
4345 'track.id' => { -ident => 'none_search.id' },
4349 my $ids = $self->search({
4352 alias => 'none_search',
4353 group_by => 'none_search.id',
4354 })->get_column('id')->as_query;
4356 $self->search({ id => { -in => $ids } })
4358 This attribute is directly tied to L</current_source_alias>.
4368 Makes the resultset paged and specifies the page to retrieve. Effectively
4369 identical to creating a non-pages resultset and then calling ->page($page)
4372 If L</rows> attribute is not specified it defaults to 10 rows per page.
4374 When you have a paged resultset, L</count> will only return the number
4375 of rows in the page. To get the total, use the L</pager> and call
4376 C<total_entries> on it.
4386 Specifies the maximum number of rows for direct retrieval or the number of
4387 rows per page if the page attribute or method is used.
4393 =item Value: $offset
4397 Specifies the (zero-based) row number for the first row to be returned, or the
4398 of the first row of the first page if paging is used.
4400 =head2 software_limit
4404 =item Value: (0 | 1)
4408 When combined with L</rows> and/or L</offset> the generated SQL will not
4409 include any limit dialect stanzas. Instead the entire result will be selected
4410 as if no limits were specified, and DBIC will perform the limit locally, by
4411 artificially advancing and finishing the resulting L</cursor>.
4413 This is the recommended way of performing resultset limiting when no sane RDBMS
4414 implementation is available (e.g.
4415 L<Sybase ASE|DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::ASE> using the
4416 L<Generic Sub Query|DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::LimitDialects/GenericSubQ> hack)
4422 =item Value: \@columns
4426 A arrayref of columns to group by. Can include columns of joined tables.
4428 group_by => [qw/ column1 column2 ... /]
4434 =item Value: $condition
4438 HAVING is a select statement attribute that is applied between GROUP BY and
4439 ORDER BY. It is applied to the after the grouping calculations have been
4442 having => { 'count_employee' => { '>=', 100 } }
4444 or with an in-place function in which case literal SQL is required:
4446 having => \[ 'count(employee) >= ?', [ count => 100 ] ]
4452 =item Value: (0 | 1)
4456 Set to 1 to automatically generate a L</group_by> clause based on the selection
4457 (including intelligent handling of L</order_by> contents). Note that the group
4458 criteria calculation takes place over the B<final> selection. This includes
4459 any L</+columns>, L</+select> or L</order_by> additions in subsequent
4460 L</search> calls, and standalone columns selected via
4461 L<DBIx::Class::ResultSetColumn> (L</get_column>). A notable exception are the
4462 extra selections specified via L</prefetch> - such selections are explicitly
4463 excluded from group criteria calculations.
4465 If the final ResultSet also explicitly defines a L</group_by> attribute, this
4466 setting is ignored and an appropriate warning is issued.
4472 Adds to the WHERE clause.
4474 # only return rows WHERE deleted IS NULL for all searches
4475 __PACKAGE__->resultset_attributes({ where => { deleted => undef } });
4477 Can be overridden by passing C<< { where => undef } >> as an attribute
4480 For more complicated where clauses see L<SQL::Abstract/WHERE CLAUSES>.
4486 Set to 1 to cache search results. This prevents extra SQL queries if you
4487 revisit rows in your ResultSet:
4489 my $resultset = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search( undef, { cache => 1 } );
4491 while( my $artist = $resultset->next ) {
4495 $rs->first; # without cache, this would issue a query
4497 By default, searches are not cached.
4499 For more examples of using these attributes, see
4500 L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook>.
4506 =item Value: ( 'update' | 'shared' | \$scalar )
4510 Set to 'update' for a SELECT ... FOR UPDATE or 'shared' for a SELECT
4511 ... FOR SHARED. If \$scalar is passed, this is taken directly and embedded in the
4516 DBIx::Class supports arbitrary related data prefetching from multiple related
4517 sources. Any combination of relationship types and column sets are supported.
4518 If L<collapsing|/collapse> is requested, there is an additional requirement of
4519 selecting enough data to make every individual object uniquely identifiable.
4521 Here are some more involved examples, based on the following relationship map:
4524 My::Schema::CD->belongs_to( artist => 'My::Schema::Artist' );
4525 My::Schema::CD->might_have( liner_note => 'My::Schema::LinerNotes' );
4526 My::Schema::CD->has_many( tracks => 'My::Schema::Track' );
4528 My::Schema::Artist->belongs_to( record_label => 'My::Schema::RecordLabel' );
4530 My::Schema::Track->has_many( guests => 'My::Schema::Guest' );
4534 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Tag')->search(
4543 The initial search results in SQL like the following:
4545 SELECT tag.*, cd.*, artist.* FROM tag
4546 JOIN cd ON tag.cd = cd.cdid
4547 JOIN artist ON cd.artist = artist.artistid
4549 L<DBIx::Class> has no need to go back to the database when we access the
4550 C<cd> or C<artist> relationships, which saves us two SQL statements in this
4553 Simple prefetches will be joined automatically, so there is no need
4554 for a C<join> attribute in the above search.
4556 The L</prefetch> attribute can be used with any of the relationship types
4557 and multiple prefetches can be specified together. Below is a more complex
4558 example that prefetches a CD's artist, its liner notes (if present),
4559 the cover image, the tracks on that CD, and the guests on those
4562 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
4566 { artist => 'record_label'}, # belongs_to => belongs_to
4567 'liner_note', # might_have
4568 'cover_image', # has_one
4569 { tracks => 'guests' }, # has_many => has_many
4574 This will produce SQL like the following:
4576 SELECT cd.*, artist.*, record_label.*, liner_note.*, cover_image.*,
4580 ON artist.artistid = me.artistid
4581 JOIN record_label record_label
4582 ON record_label.labelid = artist.labelid
4583 LEFT JOIN track tracks
4584 ON tracks.cdid = me.cdid
4585 LEFT JOIN guest guests
4586 ON guests.trackid = track.trackid
4587 LEFT JOIN liner_notes liner_note
4588 ON liner_note.cdid = me.cdid
4589 JOIN cd_artwork cover_image
4590 ON cover_image.cdid = me.cdid
4593 Now the C<artist>, C<record_label>, C<liner_note>, C<cover_image>,
4594 C<tracks>, and C<guests> of the CD will all be available through the
4595 relationship accessors without the need for additional queries to the
4600 Prefetch does a lot of deep magic. As such, it may not behave exactly
4601 as you might expect.
4607 Prefetch uses the L</cache> to populate the prefetched relationships. This
4608 may or may not be what you want.
4612 If you specify a condition on a prefetched relationship, ONLY those
4613 rows that match the prefetched condition will be fetched into that relationship.
4614 This means that adding prefetch to a search() B<may alter> what is returned by
4615 traversing a relationship. So, if you have C<< Artist->has_many(CDs) >> and you do
4617 my $artist_rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({
4623 my $count = $artist_rs->first->cds->count;
4625 my $artist_rs_prefetch = $artist_rs->search( {}, { prefetch => 'cds' } );
4627 my $prefetch_count = $artist_rs_prefetch->first->cds->count;
4629 cmp_ok( $count, '==', $prefetch_count, "Counts should be the same" );
4631 That cmp_ok() may or may not pass depending on the datasets involved. In other
4632 words the C<WHERE> condition would apply to the entire dataset, just like
4633 it would in regular SQL. If you want to add a condition only to the "right side"
4634 of a C<LEFT JOIN> - consider declaring and using a L<relationship with a custom
4635 condition|DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base/condition>
4639 =head1 DBIC BIND VALUES
4641 Because DBIC may need more information to bind values than just the column name
4642 and value itself, it uses a special format for both passing and receiving bind
4643 values. Each bind value should be composed of an arrayref of
4644 C<< [ \%args => $val ] >>. The format of C<< \%args >> is currently:
4650 If present (in any form), this is what is being passed directly to bind_param.
4651 Note that different DBD's expect different bind args. (e.g. DBD::SQLite takes
4652 a single numerical type, while DBD::Pg takes a hashref if bind options.)
4654 If this is specified, all other bind options described below are ignored.
4658 If present, this is used to infer the actual bind attribute by passing to
4659 C<< $resolved_storage->bind_attribute_by_data_type() >>. Defaults to the
4660 "data_type" from the L<add_columns column info|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_columns>.
4662 Note that the data type is somewhat freeform (hence the sqlt_ prefix);
4663 currently drivers are expected to "Do the Right Thing" when given a common
4664 datatype name. (Not ideal, but that's what we got at this point.)
4668 Currently used to correctly allocate buffers for bind_param_inout().
4669 Defaults to "size" from the L<add_columns column info|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_columns>,
4670 or to a sensible value based on the "data_type".
4674 Used to fill in missing sqlt_datatype and sqlt_size attributes (if they are
4675 explicitly specified they are never overridden). Also used by some weird DBDs,
4676 where the column name should be available at bind_param time (e.g. Oracle).
4680 For backwards compatibility and convenience, the following shortcuts are
4683 [ $name => $val ] === [ { dbic_colname => $name }, $val ]
4684 [ \$dt => $val ] === [ { sqlt_datatype => $dt }, $val ]
4685 [ undef, $val ] === [ {}, $val ]
4686 $val === [ {}, $val ]
