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/ResultSource> 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
83 =head2 Chaining resultsets
85 Let's say you've got a query that needs to be run to return some data
86 to the user. But, you have an authorization system in place that
87 prevents certain users from seeing certain information. So, you want
88 to construct the basic query in one method, but add constraints to it in
93 my $request = $self->get_request; # Get a request object somehow.
94 my $schema = $self->result_source->schema;
96 my $cd_rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({
97 title => $request->param('title'),
98 year => $request->param('year'),
101 $cd_rs = $self->apply_security_policy( $cd_rs );
103 return $cd_rs->all();
106 sub apply_security_policy {
115 =head3 Resolving conditions and attributes
117 When a resultset is chained from another resultset (e.g.:
118 C<< my $new_rs = $old_rs->search(\%extra_cond, \%attrs) >>), conditions
119 and attributes with the same keys need resolving.
121 If any of L</columns>, L</select>, L</as> are present, they reset the
122 original selection, and start the selection "clean".
124 The L</join>, L</prefetch>, L</+columns>, L</+select>, L</+as> attributes
125 are merged into the existing ones from the original resultset.
127 The L</where> and L</having> attributes, and any search conditions, are
128 merged with an SQL C<AND> to the existing condition from the original
131 All other attributes are overridden by any new ones supplied in the
134 =head2 Multiple queries
136 Since a resultset just defines a query, you can do all sorts of
137 things with it with the same object.
139 # Don't hit the DB yet.
140 my $cd_rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({
141 title => 'something',
145 # Each of these hits the DB individually.
146 my $count = $cd_rs->count;
147 my $most_recent = $cd_rs->get_column('date_released')->max();
148 my @records = $cd_rs->all;
150 And it's not just limited to SELECT statements.
156 $cd_rs->create({ artist => 'Fred' });
158 Which is the same as:
160 $schema->resultset('CD')->create({
161 title => 'something',
166 See: L</search>, L</count>, L</get_column>, L</all>, L</create>.
168 =head2 Custom ResultSet classes
170 To add methods to your resultsets, you can subclass L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet>, similar to:
172 package MyApp::Schema::ResultSet::User;
177 use base 'DBIx::Class::ResultSet';
181 $self->search({ $self->current_source_alias . '.active' => 1 });
186 $self->search({ $self->current_source_alias . '.verified' => 0 });
189 sub created_n_days_ago {
190 my ($self, $days_ago) = @_;
192 $self->current_source_alias . '.create_date' => {
194 $self->result_source->schema->storage->datetime_parser->format_datetime(
195 DateTime->now( time_zone => 'UTC' )->subtract( days => $days_ago )
200 sub users_to_warn { shift->active->unverified->created_n_days_ago(7) }
204 See L<DBIx::Class::Schema/load_namespaces> on how DBIC can discover and
205 automatically attach L<Result|DBIx::Class::Manual::ResultClass>-specific
206 L<ResulSet|DBIx::Class::ResultSet> classes.
208 =head3 ResultSet subclassing with Moose and similar constructor-providers
210 Using L<Moose> or L<Moo> in your ResultSet classes is usually overkill, but
211 you may find it useful if your ResultSets contain a lot of business logic
212 (e.g. C<has xml_parser>, C<has json>, etc) or if you just prefer to organize
215 In order to write custom ResultSet classes with L<Moo> you need to use the
216 following template. The L<BUILDARGS|Moo/BUILDARGS> is necessary due to the
217 unusual signature of the L<constructor provided by DBIC
218 |DBIx::Class::ResultSet/new> C<< ->new($source, \%args) >>.
221 extends 'DBIx::Class::ResultSet';
222 sub BUILDARGS { $_[2] } # ::RS::new() expects my ($class, $rsrc, $args) = @_
228 If you want to build your custom ResultSet classes with L<Moose>, you need
229 a similar, though a little more elaborate template in order to interface the
230 inlining of the L<Moose>-provided
231 L<object constructor|Moose::Manual::Construction/WHERE'S THE CONSTRUCTOR?>,
234 package MyApp::Schema::ResultSet::User;
237 use MooseX::NonMoose;
238 extends 'DBIx::Class::ResultSet';
240 sub BUILDARGS { $_[2] } # ::RS::new() expects my ($class, $rsrc, $args) = @_
244 __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;
248 The L<MooseX::NonMoose> is necessary so that the L<Moose> constructor does not
249 entirely overwrite the DBIC one (in contrast L<Moo> does this automatically).
250 Alternatively, you can skip L<MooseX::NonMoose> and get by with just L<Moose>
253 __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable(inline_constructor => 0);
261 =item Arguments: L<$source|DBIx::Class::ResultSource>, L<\%attrs?|/ATTRIBUTES>
263 =item Return Value: L<$resultset|/search>
267 The resultset constructor. Takes a source object (usually a
268 L<DBIx::Class::ResultSourceProxy::Table>) and an attribute hash (see
269 L</ATTRIBUTES> below). Does not perform any queries -- these are
270 executed as needed by the other methods.
272 Generally you never construct a resultset manually. Instead you get one
274 C<< $schema->L<resultset|DBIx::Class::Schema/resultset>('$source_name') >>
275 or C<< $another_resultset->L<search|/search>(...) >> (the later called in
278 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({ title => '100th Window' });
284 If called on an object, proxies to L</new_result> instead, so
286 my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->new({ title => 'Spoon' });
288 will return a CD object, not a ResultSet, and is equivalent to:
290 my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->new_result({ title => 'Spoon' });
292 Please also keep in mind that many internals call L</new_result> directly,
293 so overloading this method with the idea of intercepting new result object
294 creation B<will not work>. See also warning pertaining to L</create>.

720 keys from related objects), or a list of primary key values in the same
721 order as the L<primary columns|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/primary_columns>
722 declaration on the L</result_source>.
724 In either case an attempt is made to combine conditions already existing on
725 the resultset with the condition passed to this method.
727 To aid with preparing the correct query for the storage you may supply the
728 C<key> attribute, which is the name of a
729 L<unique constraint|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_unique_constraint> (the
730 unique constraint corresponding to the
731 L<primary columns|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/primary_columns> is always named
732 C<primary>). If the C<key> attribute has been supplied, and DBIC is unable
733 to construct a query that satisfies the named unique constraint fully (
734 non-NULL values for each column member of the constraint) an exception is
737 If no C<key> is specified, the search is carried over all unique constraints
738 which are fully defined by the available condition.
740 If no such constraint is found, C<find> currently defaults to a simple
741 C<< search->(\%column_values) >> which may or may not do what you expect.
742 Note that this fallback behavior may be deprecated in further versions. If
743 you need to search with arbitrary conditions - use L</search>. If the query
744 resulting from this fallback produces more than one row, a warning to the
745 effect is issued, though only the first row is constructed and returned as
748 In addition to C<key>, L</find> recognizes and applies standard
749 L<resultset attributes|/ATTRIBUTES> in the same way as L</search> does.
751 Note that if you have extra concerns about the correctness of the resulting
752 query you need to specify the C<key> attribute and supply the entire condition
753 as an argument to find (since it is not always possible to perform the
754 combination of the resultset condition with the supplied one, especially if
755 the resultset condition contains literal sql).
757 For example, to find a row by its primary key:

2796 Attempt to create a single new row or a row with multiple related rows
2797 in the table represented by the resultset (and related tables). This
2798 will not check for duplicate rows before inserting, use
2799 L</find_or_create> to do that.
2801 To create one row for this resultset, pass a hashref of key/value
2802 pairs representing the columns of the table and the values you wish to
2803 store. If the appropriate relationships are set up, foreign key fields
2804 can also be passed an object representing the foreign row, and the
2805 value will be set to its primary key.
2807 To create related objects, pass a hashref of related-object column values
2808 B<keyed on the relationship name>. If the relationship is of type C<multi>
2809 (L<DBIx::Class::Relationship/has_many>) - pass an arrayref of hashrefs.
2810 The process will correctly identify columns holding foreign keys, and will
2811 transparently populate them from the keys of the corresponding relation.
2812 This can be applied recursively, and will work correctly for a structure
2813 with an arbitrary depth and width, as long as the relationships actually
2814 exists and the correct column data has been supplied.
2816 Instead of hashrefs of plain related data (key/value pairs), you may
2817 also pass new or inserted objects. New objects (not inserted yet, see
2818 L</new_result>), will be inserted into their appropriate tables.

2855 When subclassing ResultSet never attempt to override this method. Since
2856 it is a simple shortcut for C<< $self->new_result($attrs)->insert >>, a

3292 Returns the current table alias for the result source this resultset is built
3293 on, that will be used in the SQL query. Usually it is C<me>.
3295 Currently the source alias that refers to the result set returned by a
3296 L</search>/L</find> family method depends on how you got to the resultset: it's
3297 C<me> by default, but eg. L</search_related> aliases it to the related result
3298 source name (and keeps C<me> referring to the original result set). The long
3299 term goal is to make L<DBIx::Class> always alias the current resultset as C<me>
3300 (and make this method unnecessary).
3302 Thus it's currently necessary to use this method in predefined queries (see
3303 L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook/Predefined searches>) when referring to the
3304 source alias of the current result set:
3306 # in a result set class
3308 my ($self, $user) = @_;
3310 my $me = $self->current_source_alias;
3312 return $self->search({
3313 "$me.modified" => $user->id,
3317 The alias of L<newly created resultsets|/search> can be altered by the
3318 L<alias attribute|/alias>.
3322 sub current_source_alias {
3323 return (shift->{attrs} || {})->{alias} || 'me';
3326 =head2 as_subselect_rs
3330 =item Arguments: none
3332 =item Return Value: L<$resultset|/search>
3336 Act as a barrier to SQL symbols. The resultset provided will be made into a
3337 "virtual view" by including it as a subquery within the from clause. From this
3338 point on, any joined tables are inaccessible to ->search on the resultset (as if
3339 it were simply where-filtered without joins). For example:
3341 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Bar')->search({'x.name' => 'abc'},{ join => 'x' });
3343 # 'x' now pollutes the query namespace
3345 # So the following works as expected
3346 my $ok_rs = $rs->search({'x.other' => 1});
3348 # But this doesn't: instead of finding a 'Bar' related to two x rows (abc and
3349 # def) we look for one row with contradictory terms and join in another table
3350 # (aliased 'x_2') which we never use
3351 my $broken_rs = $rs->search({'x.name' => 'def'});
3353 my $rs2 = $rs->as_subselect_rs;
3355 # doesn't work - 'x' is no longer accessible in $rs2, having been sealed away
3356 my $not_joined_rs = $rs2->search({'x.other' => 1});
3358 # works as expected: finds a 'table' row related to two x rows (abc and def)
3359 my $correctly_joined_rs = $rs2->search({'x.name' => 'def'});
3361 Another example of when one might use this would be to select a subset of
3362 columns in a group by clause:
3364 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Bar')->search(undef, {
3365 group_by => [qw{ id foo_id baz_id }],
3366 })->as_subselect_rs->search(undef, {
3367 columns => [qw{ id foo_id }]
3370 In the above example normally columns would have to be equal to the group by,
3371 but because we isolated the group by into a subselect the above works.

4029 # XXX: FIXME: Attributes docs need clearing up
4033 Attributes are used to refine a ResultSet in various ways when
4034 searching for data. They can be passed to any method which takes an
4035 C<\%attrs> argument. See L</search>, L</search_rs>, L</find>,
4038 Default attributes can be set on the result class using
4039 L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource/resultset_attributes>. (Please read
4040 the CAVEATS on that feature before using it!)
4042 These are in no particular order:
4048 =item Value: ( $order_by | \@order_by | \%order_by )
4052 Which column(s) to order the results by.
4054 [The full list of suitable values is documented in
4055 L<SQL::Abstract/"ORDER BY CLAUSES">; the following is a summary of
4058 If a single column name, or an arrayref of names is supplied, the
4059 argument is passed through directly to SQL. The hashref syntax allows
4060 for connection-agnostic specification of ordering direction:
4062 For descending order:
4064 order_by => { -desc => [qw/col1 col2 col3/] }
4066 For explicit ascending order:
4068 order_by => { -asc => 'col' }
4070 The old scalarref syntax (i.e. order_by => \'year DESC') is still
4071 supported, although you are strongly encouraged to use the hashref
4072 syntax as outlined above.
4078 =item Value: \@columns | \%columns | $column
4082 Shortcut to request a particular set of columns to be retrieved. Each
4083 column spec may be a string (a table column name), or a hash (in which
4084 case the key is the C<as> value, and the value is used as the C<select>
4085 expression). Adds the L</current_source_alias> onto the start of any column without a C<.> in
4086 it and sets C<select> from that, then auto-populates C<as> from
4087 C<select> as normal. (You may also use the C<cols> attribute, as in
4088 earlier versions of DBIC, but this is deprecated)
4090 Essentially C<columns> does the same as L</select> and L</as>.
4092 columns => [ 'some_column', { dbic_slot => 'another_column' } ]
4096 select => [qw(some_column another_column)],
4097 as => [qw(some_column dbic_slot)]
4099 If you want to individually retrieve related columns (in essence perform
4100 manual L</prefetch>) you have to make sure to specify the correct inflation slot
4101 chain such that it matches existing relationships:
4103 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({}, {
4104 # required to tell DBIC to collapse has_many relationships
4106 join => { cds => 'tracks' },
4108 'cds.cdid' => 'cds.cdid',
4109 'cds.tracks.title' => 'tracks.title',
4113 Like elsewhere, literal SQL or literal values can be included by using a
4114 scalar reference or a literal bind value, and these values will be available
4115 in the result with C<get_column> (see also
4116 L<SQL::Abstract/Literal SQL and value type operators>):
4118 # equivalent SQL: SELECT 1, 'a string', IF(my_column,?,?) ...
4119 # bind values: $true_value, $false_value
4123 bar => \q{'a string'},
4124 baz => \[ 'IF(my_column,?,?)', $true_value, $false_value ],
4130 B<NOTE:> You B<MUST> explicitly quote C<'+columns'> when using this attribute.
4131 Not doing so causes Perl to incorrectly interpret C<+columns> as a bareword
4132 with a unary plus operator before it, which is the same as simply C<columns>.
4136 =item Value: \@extra_columns
4140 Indicates additional columns to be selected from storage. Works the same as
4141 L</columns> but adds columns to the current selection. (You may also use the
4142 C<include_columns> attribute, as in earlier versions of DBIC, but this is
4145 $schema->resultset('CD')->search(undef, {
4146 '+columns' => ['artist.name'],
4150 would return all CDs and include a 'name' column to the information
4151 passed to object inflation. Note that the 'artist' is the name of the
4152 column (or relationship) accessor, and 'name' is the name of the column
4153 accessor in the related table.
4159 =item Value: \@select_columns
4163 Indicates which columns should be selected from the storage. You can use
4164 column names, or in the case of RDBMS back ends, function or stored procedure
4167 $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, {
4170 { count => 'employeeid' },
4171 { max => { length => 'name' }, -as => 'longest_name' }
4176 SELECT name, COUNT( employeeid ), MAX( LENGTH( name ) ) AS longest_name FROM employee
4178 B<NOTE:> You will almost always need a corresponding L</as> attribute when you
4179 use L</select>, to instruct DBIx::Class how to store the result of the column.
4181 Also note that the L</as> attribute has B<nothing to do> with the SQL-side
4182 C<AS> identifier aliasing. You B<can> alias a function (so you can use it e.g.
4183 in an C<ORDER BY> clause), however this is done via the C<-as> B<select
4184 function attribute> supplied as shown in the example above.
4188 B<NOTE:> You B<MUST> explicitly quote C<'+select'> when using this attribute.
4189 Not doing so causes Perl to incorrectly interpret C<+select> as a bareword
4190 with a unary plus operator before it, which is the same as simply C<select>.
4194 =item Value: \@extra_select_columns
4198 Indicates additional columns to be selected from storage. Works the same as
4199 L</select> but adds columns to the current selection, instead of specifying
4200 a new explicit list.
4206 =item Value: \@inflation_names
4210 Indicates DBIC-side names for object inflation. That is L</as> indicates the
4211 slot name in which the column value will be stored within the
4212 L<Row|DBIx::Class::Row> object. The value will then be accessible via this
4213 identifier by the C<get_column> method (or via the object accessor B<if one
4214 with the same name already exists>) as shown below.
4216 The L</as> attribute has B<nothing to do> with the SQL-side identifier
4217 aliasing C<AS>. See L</select> for details.
4219 $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, {
4222 { count => 'employeeid' },
4223 { max => { length => 'name' }, -as => 'longest_name' }
4232 If the object against which the search is performed already has an accessor
4233 matching a column name specified in C<as>, the value can be retrieved using
4234 the accessor as normal:
4236 my $name = $employee->name();
4238 If on the other hand an accessor does not exist in the object, you need to
4239 use C<get_column> instead:
4241 my $employee_count = $employee->get_column('employee_count');
4243 You can create your own accessors if required - see
4244 L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook> for details.
4248 B<NOTE:> You B<MUST> explicitly quote C<'+as'> when using this attribute.
4249 Not doing so causes Perl to incorrectly interpret C<+as> as a bareword
4250 with a unary plus operator before it, which is the same as simply C<as>.
4254 =item Value: \@extra_inflation_names
4258 Indicates additional inflation names for selectors added via L</+select>. See L</as>.
4264 =item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names)
4268 Contains a list of relationships that should be joined for this query. For
4271 # Get CDs by Nine Inch Nails
4272 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
4273 { 'artist.name' => 'Nine Inch Nails' },
4274 { join => 'artist' }
4277 Can also contain a hash reference to refer to the other relation's relations.
4280 package MyApp::Schema::Track;
4281 use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
4282 __PACKAGE__->table('track');
4283 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/trackid cd position title/);
4284 __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('trackid');
4285 __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(cd => 'MyApp::Schema::CD');
4288 # In your application
4289 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
4290 { 'track.title' => 'Teardrop' },
4292 join => { cd => 'track' },
4293 order_by => 'artist.name',
4297 You need to use the relationship (not the table) name in conditions,
4298 because they are aliased as such. The current table is aliased as "me", so
4299 you need to use me.column_name in order to avoid ambiguity. For example:
4301 # Get CDs from 1984 with a 'Foo' track
4302 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
4305 'tracks.name' => 'Foo'
4307 { join => 'tracks' }
4310 If the same join is supplied twice, it will be aliased to <rel>_2 (and
4311 similarly for a third time). For e.g.
4313 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({
4314 'cds.title' => 'Down to Earth',
4315 'cds_2.title' => 'Popular',
4317 join => [ qw/cds cds/ ],
4320 will return a set of all artists that have both a cd with title 'Down
4321 to Earth' and a cd with title 'Popular'.
4323 If you want to fetch related objects from other tables as well, see L</prefetch>
4326 NOTE: An internal join-chain pruner will discard certain joins while
4327 constructing the actual SQL query, as long as the joins in question do not
4328 affect the retrieved result. This for example includes 1:1 left joins
4329 that are not part of the restriction specification (WHERE/HAVING) nor are
4330 a part of the query selection.
4332 For more help on using joins with search, see L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Joining>.
4338 =item Value: (0 | 1)
4342 When set to a true value, indicates that any rows fetched from joined has_many
4343 relationships are to be aggregated into the corresponding "parent" object. For
4344 example, the resultset:
4346 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({}, {
4347 '+columns' => [ qw/ tracks.title tracks.position / ],
4352 While executing the following query:
4354 SELECT me.*, tracks.title, tracks.position
4356 LEFT JOIN track tracks
4357 ON tracks.cdid = me.cdid
4359 Will return only as many objects as there are rows in the CD source, even
4360 though the result of the query may span many rows. Each of these CD objects
4361 will in turn have multiple "Track" objects hidden behind the has_many
4362 generated accessor C<tracks>. Without C<< collapse => 1 >>, the return values
4363 of this resultset would be as many CD objects as there are tracks (a "Cartesian
4364 product"), with each CD object containing exactly one of all fetched Track data.
4366 When a collapse is requested on a non-ordered resultset, an order by some
4367 unique part of the main source (the left-most table) is inserted automatically.
4368 This is done so that the resultset is allowed to be "lazy" - calling
4369 L<< $rs->next|/next >> will fetch only as many rows as it needs to build the next
4370 object with all of its related data.
4372 If an L</order_by> is already declared, and orders the resultset in a way that
4373 makes collapsing as described above impossible (e.g. C<< ORDER BY
4374 has_many_rel.column >> or C<ORDER BY RANDOM()>), DBIC will automatically
4375 switch to "eager" mode and slurp the entire resultset before constructing the
4376 first object returned by L</next>.
4378 Setting this attribute on a resultset that does not join any has_many
4379 relations is a no-op.
4381 For a more in-depth discussion, see L</PREFETCHING>.
4387 =item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names)
4391 This attribute is a shorthand for specifying a L</join> spec, adding all
4392 columns from the joined related sources as L</+columns> and setting
4393 L</collapse> to a true value. It can be thought of as a rough B<superset>
4394 of the L</join> attribute.
4396 For example, the following two queries are equivalent:
4398 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({}, {
4399 prefetch => { cds => ['genre', 'tracks' ] },
4404 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({}, {
4405 join => { cds => ['genre', 'tracks' ] },
4409 { +{ "cds.$_" => "cds.$_" } }
4410 $schema->source('Artist')->related_source('cds')->columns
4413 { +{ "cds.genre.$_" => "genre.$_" } }
4414 $schema->source('Artist')->related_source('cds')->related_source('genre')->columns
4417 { +{ "cds.tracks.$_" => "tracks.$_" } }
4418 $schema->source('Artist')->related_source('cds')->related_source('tracks')->columns
4423 Both producing the following SQL:
4425 SELECT me.artistid, me.name, me.rank, me.charfield,
4426 cds.cdid, cds.artist, cds.title, cds.year, cds.genreid, cds.single_track,
4427 genre.genreid, genre.name,
4428 tracks.trackid, tracks.cd, tracks.position, tracks.title, tracks.last_updated_on, tracks.last_updated_at
4431 ON cds.artist = me.artistid
4432 LEFT JOIN genre genre
4433 ON genre.genreid = cds.genreid
4434 LEFT JOIN track tracks
4435 ON tracks.cd = cds.cdid
4436 ORDER BY me.artistid
4438 While L</prefetch> implies a L</join>, it is ok to mix the two together, as
4439 the arguments are properly merged and generally do the right thing. For
4440 example, you may want to do the following:
4442 my $artists_and_cds_without_genre = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
4443 { 'genre.genreid' => undef },
4445 join => { cds => 'genre' },
4450 Which generates the following SQL:
4452 SELECT me.artistid, me.name, me.rank, me.charfield,
4453 cds.cdid, cds.artist, cds.title, cds.year, cds.genreid, cds.single_track
4456 ON cds.artist = me.artistid
4457 LEFT JOIN genre genre
4458 ON genre.genreid = cds.genreid
4459 WHERE genre.genreid IS NULL
4460 ORDER BY me.artistid
4462 For a more in-depth discussion, see L</PREFETCHING>.
4468 =item Value: $source_alias
4472 Sets the source alias for the query. Normally, this defaults to C<me>, but
4473 nested search queries (sub-SELECTs) might need specific aliases set to
4474 reference inner queries. For example:
4477 ->related_resultset('CDs')
4478 ->related_resultset('Tracks')
4480 'track.id' => { -ident => 'none_search.id' },
4484 my $ids = $self->search({
4487 alias => 'none_search',
4488 group_by => 'none_search.id',
4489 })->get_column('id')->as_query;
4491 $self->search({ id => { -in => $ids } })
4493 This attribute is directly tied to L</current_source_alias>.
4503 Makes the resultset paged and specifies the page to retrieve. Effectively
4504 identical to creating a non-pages resultset and then calling ->page($page)
4507 If L</rows> attribute is not specified it defaults to 10 rows per page.
4509 When you have a paged resultset, L</count> will only return the number
4510 of rows in the page. To get the total, use the L</pager> and call
4511 C<total_entries> on it.
4521 Specifies the maximum number of rows for direct retrieval or the number of
4522 rows per page if the page attribute or method is used.
4528 =item Value: $offset
4532 Specifies the (zero-based) row number for the first row to be returned, or the
4533 of the first row of the first page if paging is used.
4535 =head2 software_limit
4539 =item Value: (0 | 1)
4543 When combined with L</rows> and/or L</offset> the generated SQL will not
4544 include any limit dialect stanzas. Instead the entire result will be selected
4545 as if no limits were specified, and DBIC will perform the limit locally, by
4546 artificially advancing and finishing the resulting L</cursor>.
4548 This is the recommended way of performing resultset limiting when no sane RDBMS
4549 implementation is available (e.g.
4550 L<Sybase ASE|DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::ASE> using the
4551 L<Generic Sub Query|DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::LimitDialects/GenericSubQ> hack)
4557 =item Value: \@columns
4561 A arrayref of columns to group by. Can include columns of joined tables.
4563 group_by => [qw/ column1 column2 ... /]
4569 =item Value: $condition
4573 The HAVING operator specifies a B<secondary> condition applied to the set
4574 after the grouping calculations have been done. In other words it is a
4575 constraint just like L</where> (and accepting the same
4576 L<SQL::Abstract syntax|SQL::Abstract/WHERE CLAUSES>) applied to the data
4577 as it exists after GROUP BY has taken place. Specifying L</having> without
4578 L</group_by> is a logical mistake, and a fatal error on most RDBMS engines.
4582 having => { 'count_employee' => { '>=', 100 } }
4584 or with an in-place function in which case literal SQL is required:
4586 having => \[ 'count(employee) >= ?', 100 ]
4592 =item Value: (0 | 1)
4596 Set to 1 to automatically generate a L</group_by> clause based on the selection
4597 (including intelligent handling of L</order_by> contents). Note that the group
4598 criteria calculation takes place over the B<final> selection. This includes
4599 any L</+columns>, L</+select> or L</order_by> additions in subsequent
4600 L</search> calls, and standalone columns selected via
4601 L<DBIx::Class::ResultSetColumn> (L</get_column>). A notable exception are the
4602 extra selections specified via L</prefetch> - such selections are explicitly
4603 excluded from group criteria calculations.
4605 If the final ResultSet also explicitly defines a L</group_by> attribute, this
4606 setting is ignored and an appropriate warning is issued.
4610 Adds extra conditions to the resultset, combined with the preexisting C<WHERE>
4611 conditions, same as the B<first> argument to the L<search operator|/search>
4613 # only return rows WHERE deleted IS NULL for all searches
4614 __PACKAGE__->resultset_attributes({ where => { deleted => undef } });
4616 Note that the above example is
4617 L<strongly discouraged|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/resultset_attributes>.
4621 Set to 1 to cache search results. This prevents extra SQL queries if you
4622 revisit rows in your ResultSet:
4624 my $resultset = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search( undef, { cache => 1 } );
4626 while( my $artist = $resultset->next ) {
4630 $resultset->first; # without cache, this would issue a query
4632 By default, searches are not cached.
4634 For more examples of using these attributes, see
4635 L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook>.
4641 =item Value: ( 'update' | 'shared' | \$scalar )
4645 Set to 'update' for a SELECT ... FOR UPDATE or 'shared' for a SELECT
4646 ... FOR SHARED. If \$scalar is passed, this is taken directly and embedded in the
4651 DBIx::Class supports arbitrary related data prefetching from multiple related
4652 sources. Any combination of relationship types and column sets are supported.
4653 If L<collapsing|/collapse> is requested, there is an additional requirement of
4654 selecting enough data to make every individual object uniquely identifiable.
4656 Here are some more involved examples, based on the following relationship map:
4659 My::Schema::CD->belongs_to( artist => 'My::Schema::Artist' );
4660 My::Schema::CD->might_have( liner_note => 'My::Schema::LinerNotes' );
4661 My::Schema::CD->has_many( tracks => 'My::Schema::Track' );
4663 My::Schema::Artist->belongs_to( record_label => 'My::Schema::RecordLabel' );
4665 My::Schema::Track->has_many( guests => 'My::Schema::Guest' );
4669 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Tag')->search(
4678 The initial search results in SQL like the following:
4680 SELECT tag.*, cd.*, artist.* FROM tag
4681 JOIN cd ON tag.cd = cd.cdid
4682 JOIN artist ON cd.artist = artist.artistid
4684 L<DBIx::Class> has no need to go back to the database when we access the
4685 C<cd> or C<artist> relationships, which saves us two SQL statements in this
4688 Simple prefetches will be joined automatically, so there is no need
4689 for a C<join> attribute in the above search.
4691 The L</prefetch> attribute can be used with any of the relationship types
4692 and multiple prefetches can be specified together. Below is a more complex
4693 example that prefetches a CD's artist, its liner notes (if present),
4694 the cover image, the tracks on that CD, and the guests on those
4697 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
4701 { artist => 'record_label'}, # belongs_to => belongs_to
4702 'liner_note', # might_have
4703 'cover_image', # has_one
4704 { tracks => 'guests' }, # has_many => has_many
4709 This will produce SQL like the following:
4711 SELECT cd.*, artist.*, record_label.*, liner_note.*, cover_image.*,
4715 ON artist.artistid = me.artistid
4716 JOIN record_label record_label
4717 ON record_label.labelid = artist.labelid
4718 LEFT JOIN track tracks
4719 ON tracks.cdid = me.cdid
4720 LEFT JOIN guest guests
4721 ON guests.trackid = track.trackid
4722 LEFT JOIN liner_notes liner_note
4723 ON liner_note.cdid = me.cdid
4724 JOIN cd_artwork cover_image
4725 ON cover_image.cdid = me.cdid
4728 Now the C<artist>, C<record_label>, C<liner_note>, C<cover_image>,
4729 C<tracks>, and C<guests> of the CD will all be available through the
4730 relationship accessors without the need for additional queries to the
4735 Prefetch does a lot of deep magic. As such, it may not behave exactly
4736 as you might expect.
4742 Prefetch uses the L</cache> to populate the prefetched relationships. This
4743 may or may not be what you want.
4747 If you specify a condition on a prefetched relationship, ONLY those
4748 rows that match the prefetched condition will be fetched into that relationship.
4749 This means that adding prefetch to a search() B<may alter> what is returned by
4750 traversing a relationship. So, if you have C<< Artist->has_many(CDs) >> and you do
4752 my $artist_rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({
4758 my $count = $artist_rs->first->cds->count;
4760 my $artist_rs_prefetch = $artist_rs->search( {}, { prefetch => 'cds' } );
4762 my $prefetch_count = $artist_rs_prefetch->first->cds->count;
4764 cmp_ok( $count, '==', $prefetch_count, "Counts should be the same" );
4766 That cmp_ok() may or may not pass depending on the datasets involved. In other
4767 words the C<WHERE> condition would apply to the entire dataset, just like
4768 it would in regular SQL. If you want to add a condition only to the "right side"
4769 of a C<LEFT JOIN> - consider declaring and using a L<relationship with a custom
4770 condition|DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base/condition>
4774 =head1 DBIC BIND VALUES
4776 Because DBIC may need more information to bind values than just the column name
4777 and value itself, it uses a special format for both passing and receiving bind
4778 values. Each bind value should be composed of an arrayref of
4779 C<< [ \%args => $val ] >>. The format of C<< \%args >> is currently:
4785 If present (in any form), this is what is being passed directly to bind_param.
4786 Note that different DBD's expect different bind args. (e.g. DBD::SQLite takes
4787 a single numerical type, while DBD::Pg takes a hashref if bind options.)
4789 If this is specified, all other bind options described below are ignored.
4793 If present, this is used to infer the actual bind attribute by passing to
4794 C<< $resolved_storage->bind_attribute_by_data_type() >>. Defaults to the
4795 "data_type" from the L<add_columns column info|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_columns>.
4797 Note that the data type is somewhat freeform (hence the sqlt_ prefix);
4798 currently drivers are expected to "Do the Right Thing" when given a common
4799 datatype name. (Not ideal, but that's what we got at this point.)
4803 Currently used to correctly allocate buffers for bind_param_inout().
4804 Defaults to "size" from the L<add_columns column info|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_columns>,
4805 or to a sensible value based on the "data_type".
4809 Used to fill in missing sqlt_datatype and sqlt_size attributes (if they are
4810 explicitly specified they are never overridden). Also used by some weird DBDs,
4811 where the column name should be available at bind_param time (e.g. Oracle).
4815 For backwards compatibility and convenience, the following shortcuts are
4818 [ $name => $val ] === [ { dbic_colname => $name }, $val ]
4819 [ \$dt => $val ] === [ { sqlt_datatype => $dt }, $val ]
4820 [ undef, $val ] === [ {}, $val ]
4821 $val === [ {}, $val ]
