20 DBIx::Class::ResultSet - Responsible for fetching and creating resultset.
24 my $rs = $schema->resultset('User')->search(registered => 1);
25 my @rows = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(year => 2005);
29 The resultset is also known as an iterator. It is responsible for handling
30 queries that may return an arbitrary number of rows, e.g. via L</search>
31 or a C<has_many> relationship.
33 In the examples below, the following table classes are used:
35 package MyApp::Schema::Artist;
36 use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
37 __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/);
38 __PACKAGE__->table('artist');
39 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/artistid name/);

46 __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/);
47 __PACKAGE__->table('cd');
48 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/cdid artist title year/);

50 __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(artist => 'MyApp::Schema::Artist');

65 The resultset constructor. Takes a source object (usually a
66 L<DBIx::Class::ResultSourceProxy::Table>) and an attribute hash (see
67 L</ATTRIBUTES> below). Does not perform any queries -- these are
68 executed as needed by the other methods.
70 Generally you won't need to construct a resultset manually. You'll
71 automatically get one from e.g. a L</search> called in scalar context:
73 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({ title => '100th Window' });
75 IMPORTANT: If called on an object, proxies to new_result instead so
77 my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->new({ title => 'Spoon' });
79 will return a CD object, not a ResultSet.

296 Finds a row based on its primary key or unique constraint. For example, to find

301 You can also find a row by a specific unique constraint using the C<key>
302 attribute. For example:
304 my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->find('Massive Attack', 'Mezzanine', { key => 'artist_title' });
306 Additionally, you can specify the columns explicitly by name:
308 my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->find(
310 artist => 'Massive Attack',
311 title => 'Mezzanine',
313 { key => 'artist_title' }
316 If no C<key> is specified and you explicitly name columns, it searches on all
317 unique constraints defined on the source, including the primary key.
319 If the C<key> is specified as C<primary>, it searches only on the primary key.
321 See also L</find_or_create> and L</update_or_create>. For information on how to
322 declare unique constraints, see

1391 # XXX: FIXME: Attributes docs need clearing up
1395 The resultset takes various attributes that modify its behavior. Here's an
1402 =item Value: ($order_by | \@order_by)
1406 Which column(s) to order the results by. This is currently passed
1407 through directly to SQL, so you can give e.g. C<year DESC> for a
1408 descending order on the column `year'.
1414 =item Value: \@columns
1418 Shortcut to request a particular set of columns to be retrieved. Adds
1419 C<me.> onto the start of any column without a C<.> in it and sets C<select>
1420 from that, then auto-populates C<as> from C<select> as normal. (You may also
1421 use the C<cols> attribute, as in earlier versions of DBIC.)
1423 =head2 include_columns
1427 =item Value: \@columns
1431 Shortcut to include additional columns in the returned results - for example
1433 $schema->resultset('CD')->search(undef, {
1434 include_columns => ['artist.name'],
1438 would return all CDs and include a 'name' column to the information
1439 passed to object inflation
1445 =item Value: \@select_columns
1449 Indicates which columns should be selected from the storage. You can use
1450 column names, or in the case of RDBMS back ends, function or stored procedure
1453 $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, {
1456 { count => 'employeeid' },
1461 When you use function/stored procedure names and do not supply an C<as>
1462 attribute, the column names returned are storage-dependent. E.g. MySQL would
1463 return a column named C<count(employeeid)> in the above example.
1469 =item Value: \@inflation_names
1473 Indicates column names for object inflation. This is used in conjunction with
1474 C<select>, usually when C<select> contains one or more function or stored
1477 $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, {
1480 { count => 'employeeid' }
1482 as => ['name', 'employee_count'],
1485 my $employee = $rs->first(); # get the first Employee
1487 If the object against which the search is performed already has an accessor
1488 matching a column name specified in C<as>, the value can be retrieved using
1489 the accessor as normal:
1491 my $name = $employee->name();
1493 If on the other hand an accessor does not exist in the object, you need to
1494 use C<get_column> instead:
1496 my $employee_count = $employee->get_column('employee_count');
1498 You can create your own accessors if required - see
1499 L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook> for details.
1501 Please note: This will NOT insert an C<AS employee_count> into the SQL statement
1502 produced, it is used for internal access only. Thus attempting to use the accessor
1503 in an C<order_by> clause or similar will fail misrably.
1509 =item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names)
1513 Contains a list of relationships that should be joined for this query. For
1516 # Get CDs by Nine Inch Nails
1517 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
1518 { 'artist.name' => 'Nine Inch Nails' },
1519 { join => 'artist' }
1522 Can also contain a hash reference to refer to the other relation's relations.
1525 package MyApp::Schema::Track;
1526 use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
1527 __PACKAGE__->table('track');
1528 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/trackid cd position title/);
1529 __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('trackid');
1530 __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(cd => 'MyApp::Schema::CD');
1533 # In your application
1534 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
1535 { 'track.title' => 'Teardrop' },
1537 join => { cd => 'track' },
1538 order_by => 'artist.name',
1542 If the same join is supplied twice, it will be aliased to <rel>_2 (and
1543 similarly for a third time). For e.g.
1545 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({
1546 'cds.title' => 'Down to Earth',
1547 'cds_2.title' => 'Popular',
1549 join => [ qw/cds cds/ ],
1552 will return a set of all artists that have both a cd with title 'Down
1553 to Earth' and a cd with title 'Popular'.
1555 If you want to fetch related objects from other tables as well, see C<prefetch>
1562 =item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names)
1566 Contains one or more relationships that should be fetched along with the main
1567 query (when they are accessed afterwards they will have already been
1568 "prefetched"). This is useful for when you know you will need the related
1569 objects, because it saves at least one query:
1571 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Tag')->search(
1580 The initial search results in SQL like the following:
1582 SELECT tag.*, cd.*, artist.* FROM tag
1583 JOIN cd ON tag.cd = cd.cdid
1584 JOIN artist ON cd.artist = artist.artistid
1586 L<DBIx::Class> has no need to go back to the database when we access the
1587 C<cd> or C<artist> relationships, which saves us two SQL statements in this
1590 Simple prefetches will be joined automatically, so there is no need
1591 for a C<join> attribute in the above search. If you're prefetching to
1592 depth (e.g. { cd => { artist => 'label' } or similar), you'll need to
1593 specify the join as well.
1595 C<prefetch> can be used with the following relationship types: C<belongs_to>,
1596 C<has_one> (or if you're using C<add_relationship>, any relationship declared
1597 with an accessor type of 'single' or 'filter').
1607 Makes the resultset paged and specifies the page to retrieve. Effectively
1608 identical to creating a non-pages resultset and then calling ->page($page)
1619 Specifes the maximum number of rows for direct retrieval or the number of
1620 rows per page if the page attribute or method is used.
1626 =item Value: \@columns
1630 A arrayref of columns to group by. Can include columns of joined tables.
1632 group_by => [qw/ column1 column2 ... /]
1638 =item Value: $condition
1642 HAVING is a select statement attribute that is applied between GROUP BY and
1643 ORDER BY. It is applied to the after the grouping calculations have been
1646 having => { 'count(employee)' => { '>=', 100 } }
1652 =item Value: (0 | 1)
1656 Set to 1 to group by all columns.
1660 Set to 1 to cache search results. This prevents extra SQL queries if you
1661 revisit rows in your ResultSet:
1663 my $resultset = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search( undef, { cache => 1 } );
1665 while( my $artist = $resultset->next ) {
1669 $rs->first; # without cache, this would issue a query
1671 By default, searches are not cached.
1673 For more examples of using these attributes, see
1674 L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook>.
1680 =item Value: \@from_clause
1684 The C<from> attribute gives you manual control over the C<FROM> clause of SQL
1685 statements generated by L<DBIx::Class>, allowing you to express custom C<JOIN>
1688 NOTE: Use this on your own risk. This allows you to shoot off your foot!
1690 C<join> will usually do what you need and it is strongly recommended that you
1691 avoid using C<from> unless you cannot achieve the desired result using C<join>.
1692 And we really do mean "cannot", not just tried and failed. Attempting to use
1693 this because you're having problems with C<join> is like trying to use x86
1694 ASM because you've got a syntax error in your C. Trust us on this.
1696 Now, if you're still really, really sure you need to use this (and if you're
1697 not 100% sure, ask the mailing list first), here's an explanation of how this
1700 The syntax is as follows -
1703 { <alias1> => <table1> },
1705 { <alias2> => <table2>, -join_type => 'inner|left|right' },
1706 [], # nested JOIN (optional)
1707 { <table1.column1> => <table2.column2>, ... (more conditions) },
1709 # More of the above [ ] may follow for additional joins
1716 ON <table1.column1> = <table2.column2>
1717 <more joins may follow>
1719 An easy way to follow the examples below is to remember the following:
1721 Anything inside "[]" is a JOIN
1722 Anything inside "{}" is a condition for the enclosing JOIN
1724 The following examples utilize a "person" table in a family tree application.
1725 In order to express parent->child relationships, this table is self-joined:
1727 # Person->belongs_to('father' => 'Person');
1728 # Person->belongs_to('mother' => 'Person');
1730 C<from> can be used to nest joins. Here we return all children with a father,
1731 then search against all mothers of those children:
1733 $rs = $schema->resultset('Person')->search(
1736 alias => 'mother', # alias columns in accordance with "from"
1738 { mother => 'person' },
1741 { child => 'person' },
1743 { father => 'person' },
1744 { 'father.person_id' => 'child.father_id' }
1747 { 'mother.person_id' => 'child.mother_id' }
1754 # SELECT mother.* FROM person mother
1757 # JOIN person father
1758 # ON ( father.person_id = child.father_id )
1760 # ON ( mother.person_id = child.mother_id )
1762 The type of any join can be controlled manually. To search against only people
1763 with a father in the person table, we could explicitly use C<INNER JOIN>:
1765 $rs = $schema->resultset('Person')->search(
1768 alias => 'child', # alias columns in accordance with "from"
1770 { child => 'person' },
1772 { father => 'person', -join_type => 'inner' },
1773 { 'father.id' => 'child.father_id' }
1780 # SELECT child.* FROM person child
1781 # INNER JOIN person father ON child.father_id = father.id
