=head1 NAME

DBIx::Class::ResultSet - Responsible for fetching and creating resultset.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  my $rs   = $schema->resultset('User')->search(registered => 1);
  my @rows = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(year => 2005);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The resultset is also known as an iterator. It is responsible for handling
queries that may return an arbitrary number of rows, e.g. via L</search>
or a C<has_many> relationship.

In the examples below, the following table classes are used:

  package MyApp::Schema::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 => 'MyApp::Schema::CD');
  1;

  package MyApp::Schema::CD;
  use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
  __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/);
  __PACKAGE__->table('cd');
  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/cdid artist title year/);
  __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('cdid');
  __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(artist => 'MyApp::Schema::Artist');
  1;

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

=over 4

=item Arguments: $source, \%$attrs

=item Return Value: $rs

=back

The resultset constructor. Takes a source object (usually a
L<DBIx::Class::ResultSourceProxy::Table>) and an attribute hash (see
L</ATTRIBUTES> below).  Does not perform any queries -- these are
executed as needed by the other methods.

Generally you won't need to construct a resultset manually.  You'll
automatically get one from e.g. a L</search> called in scalar context:

  my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({ title => '100th Window' });

IMPORTANT: If called on an object, proxies to new_result instead so

  my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->new({ title => 'Spoon' });

will return a CD object, not a ResultSet.

If you need to pass in additional attributes but no additional condition,
call it as C<search(undef, \%attrs)>.

=head2 find

=over 4

=item Arguments: @values | \%cols, \%attrs?

=item Return Value: $row_object

=back

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

  my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->find(5);

You can also find a row by a specific unique constraint using the C<key>
attribute. For example:

  my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->find('Massive Attack', 'Mezzanine', {
    key => 'cd_artist_title'
  });

Additionally, you can specify the columns explicitly by name:

  my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->find(
    {
      artist => 'Massive Attack',
      title  => 'Mezzanine',
    },
    { key => 'cd_artist_title' }
  );

If the C<key> is specified as C<primary>, it searches only on the primary key.

If no C<key> is specified, it searches on all unique constraints defined on the
source, including the primary key.

If your table does not have a primary key, you B<must> provide a value for the
C<key> attribute matching one of the unique constraints on the source.

See also L</find_or_create> and L</update_or_create>. For information on how to
declare unique constraints, see
L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_unique_constraint>.

Performs an SQL C<COUNT> with the same query as the resultset was built

Note: When using C<count> with C<group_by>, L<DBIX::Class> emulates C<GROUP BY>
using C<COUNT( DISTINCT( columns ) )>. Some databases (notably SQLite) do
not support C<DISTINCT> with multiple columns. If you are using such a

clause.

    cdid   => 5,
    artist => 'Massive Attack',

Also takes an optional C<key> attribute, to search by a specific key or unique
constraint. For example:

  $class->update_or_create({ col => $val, ... });

First, searches for an existing row matching one of the unique constraints
(including the primary key) on the source of this resultset. If a row is
found, updates it with the other given column values. Otherwise, creates a new
row.

Takes an optional C<key> attribute to search on a specific unique constraint.
For example:

  # In your application
  my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->update_or_create(
    {
      artist => 'Massive Attack',
      title  => 'Mezzanine',
      year   => 1998,
    },
    { key => 'cd_artist_title' }
  );

If no C<key> is specified, it searches on all unique constraints defined on the
source, including the primary key.

If the C<key> is specified as C<primary>, it searches only on the primary key.

# XXX: FIXME: Attributes docs need clearing up

=head1 ATTRIBUTES

The resultset takes various attributes that modify its behavior. Here's an
overview of them:

=head2 order_by

=over 4

=item Value: ($order_by | \@order_by)

=back

Which column(s) to order the results by. This is currently passed
through directly to SQL, so you can give e.g. C<year DESC> for a
descending order on the column `year'.

Please note that if you have C<quote_char> enabled (see
L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI/connect_info>) you will need to do C<\'year DESC' > to
specify an order. (The scalar ref causes it to be passed as raw sql to the DB,
so you will need to manually quote things as appropriate.)

=head2 columns

=over 4

=item Value: \@columns

=back

Shortcut to request a particular set of columns to be retrieved.  Adds
C<me.> onto the start of any column without a C<.> in it and sets C<select>
from that, then auto-populates C<as> from C<select> as normal. (You may also
use the C<cols> attribute, as in earlier versions of DBIC.)

=head2 include_columns

=over 4

=item Value: \@columns

=back

Shortcut to include additional columns in the returned results - for example

  $schema->resultset('CD')->search(undef, {
    include_columns => ['artist.name'],
    join => ['artist']
  });

would return all CDs and include a 'name' column to the information
passed to object inflation. Note that the 'artist' is the name of the
column (or relationship) accessor, and 'name' is the name of the column
accessor in the related table.

=head2 select

=over 4

=item Value: \@select_columns

=back

Indicates which columns should be selected from the storage. You can use
column names, or in the case of RDBMS back ends, function or stored procedure
names:

  $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, {
    select => [
      'name',
      { count => 'employeeid' },
      { sum => 'salary' }
    ]
  });

When you use function/stored procedure names and do not supply an C<as>
attribute, the column names returned are storage-dependent. E.g. MySQL would
return a column named C<count(employeeid)> in the above example.

=head2 +select

=over 4

Indicates additional columns to be selected from storage.  Works the same as
L<select> but adds columns to the selection.

=back

=head2 +as

=over 4

Indicates additional column names for those added via L<+select>.

=back

=head2 as

=over 4

=item Value: \@inflation_names

=back

Indicates column names for object inflation. That is, c< as >
indicates the name that the column can be accessed as via the
C<get_column> method (or via the object accessor, B<if one already
exists>).  It has nothing to do with the SQL code C< SELECT foo AS bar
>.

The C< as > attribute is used in conjunction with C<select>,
usually when C<select> contains one or more function or stored
procedure names:

  $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, {
    select => [
      'name',
      { count => 'employeeid' }
    ],
    as => ['name', 'employee_count'],
  });

  my $employee = $rs->first(); # get the first Employee

If the object against which the search is performed already has an accessor
matching a column name specified in C<as>, the value can be retrieved using
the accessor as normal:

  my $name = $employee->name();

If on the other hand an accessor does not exist in the object, you need to
use C<get_column> instead:

  my $employee_count = $employee->get_column('employee_count');

You can create your own accessors if required - see
L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook> for details.

Please note: This will NOT insert an C<AS employee_count> into the SQL
statement produced, it is used for internal access only. Thus
attempting to use the accessor in an C<order_by> clause or similar
will fail miserably.

To get around this limitation, you can supply literal SQL to your
C<select> attibute that contains the C<AS alias> text, eg:

  select => [\'myfield AS alias']

=head2 join

=over 4

=item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names)

=back

Contains a list of relationships that should be joined for this query.  For
example:

  # Get CDs by Nine Inch Nails
  my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
    { 'artist.name' => 'Nine Inch Nails' },
    { join => 'artist' }
  );

Can also contain a hash reference to refer to the other relation's relations.
For example:

  package MyApp::Schema::Track;
  use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
  __PACKAGE__->table('track');
  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/trackid cd position title/);
  __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('trackid');
  __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(cd => 'MyApp::Schema::CD');
  1;

  # In your application
  my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
    { 'track.title' => 'Teardrop' },
    {
      join     => { cd => 'track' },
      order_by => 'artist.name',
    }
  );

You need to use the relationship (not the table) name in  conditions, 
because they are aliased as such. The current table is aliased as "me", so 
you need to use me.column_name in order to avoid ambiguity. For example:

  # Get CDs from 1984 with a 'Foo' track 
  my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
    { 
      'me.year' => 1984,
      'tracks.name' => 'Foo'
    },
    { join => 'tracks' }
  );
  
If the same join is supplied twice, it will be aliased to <rel>_2 (and
similarly for a third time). For e.g.

  my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({
    'cds.title'   => 'Down to Earth',
    'cds_2.title' => 'Popular',
  }, {
    join => [ qw/cds cds/ ],
  });

will return a set of all artists that have both a cd with title 'Down
to Earth' and a cd with title 'Popular'.

If you want to fetch related objects from other tables as well, see C<prefetch>
below.

=head2 prefetch

=over 4

=item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names)

=back

Contains one or more relationships that should be fetched along with the main
query (when they are accessed afterwards they will have already been
"prefetched").  This is useful for when you know you will need the related
objects, because it saves at least one query:

  my $rs = $schema->resultset('Tag')->search(
    undef,
    {
      prefetch => {
        cd => 'artist'
      }
    }
  );

The initial search results in SQL like the following:

  SELECT tag.*, cd.*, artist.* FROM tag
  JOIN cd ON tag.cd = cd.cdid
  JOIN artist ON cd.artist = artist.artistid

L<DBIx::Class> has no need to go back to the database when we access the
C<cd> or C<artist> relationships, which saves us two SQL statements in this
case.

Simple prefetches will be joined automatically, so there is no need
for a C<join> attribute in the above search. If you're prefetching to
depth (e.g. { cd => { artist => 'label' } or similar), you'll need to
specify the join as well.

C<prefetch> can be used with the following relationship types: C<belongs_to>,
C<has_one> (or if you're using C<add_relationship>, any relationship declared
with an accessor type of 'single' or 'filter').

=head2 page

=over 4

=item Value: $page

=back

Makes the resultset paged and specifies the page to retrieve. Effectively
identical to creating a non-pages resultset and then calling ->page($page)
on it.

If L<rows> attribute is not specified it defualts to 10 rows per page.

=head2 rows

=over 4

=item Value: $rows

=back

Specifes the maximum number of rows for direct retrieval or the number of
rows per page if the page attribute or method is used.

=head2 offset

=over 4

=item Value: $offset

=back

Specifies the (zero-based) row number for the  first row to be returned, or the
of the first row of the first page if paging is used.

=head2 group_by

=over 4

=item Value: \@columns

=back

A arrayref of columns to group by. Can include columns of joined tables.

  group_by => [qw/ column1 column2 ... /]

=head2 having

=over 4

=item Value: $condition

=back

HAVING is a select statement attribute that is applied between GROUP BY and
ORDER BY. It is applied to the after the grouping calculations have been
done.

  having => { 'count(employee)' => { '>=', 100 } }

=head2 distinct

=over 4

=item Value: (0 | 1)

=back

Set to 1 to group by all columns.

=head2 where

=over 4

Adds to the WHERE clause.

  # only return rows WHERE deleted IS NULL for all searches
  __PACKAGE__->resultset_attributes({ where => { deleted => undef } }); )

Can be overridden by passing C<{ where => undef }> as an attribute
to a resulset.

=back

=head2 cache

Set to 1 to cache search results. This prevents extra SQL queries if you
revisit rows in your ResultSet:

  my $resultset = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search( undef, { cache => 1 } );

  while( my $artist = $resultset->next ) {
    ... do stuff ...
  }

  $rs->first; # without cache, this would issue a query

By default, searches are not cached.

For more examples of using these attributes, see
L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook>.

=head2 from

=over 4

=item Value: \@from_clause

=back

The C<from> attribute gives you manual control over the C<FROM> clause of SQL
statements generated by L<DBIx::Class>, allowing you to express custom C<JOIN>
clauses.

NOTE: Use this on your own risk.  This allows you to shoot off your foot!

C<join> will usually do what you need and it is strongly recommended that you
avoid using C<from> unless you cannot achieve the desired result using C<join>.
And we really do mean "cannot", not just tried and failed. Attempting to use
this because you're having problems with C<join> is like trying to use x86
ASM because you've got a syntax error in your C. Trust us on this.

Now, if you're still really, really sure you need to use this (and if you're
not 100% sure, ask the mailing list first), here's an explanation of how this
works.

The syntax is as follows -

  [
    { <alias1> => <table1> },
    [
      { <alias2> => <table2>, -join_type => 'inner|left|right' },
      [], # nested JOIN (optional)
      { <table1.column1> => <table2.column2>, ... (more conditions) },
    ],
    # More of the above [ ] may follow for additional joins
  ]

  <table1> <alias1>
  JOIN
    <table2> <alias2>
    [JOIN ...]
  ON <table1.column1> = <table2.column2>
  <more joins may follow>

An easy way to follow the examples below is to remember the following:

    Anything inside "[]" is a JOIN
    Anything inside "{}" is a condition for the enclosing JOIN

The following examples utilize a "person" table in a family tree application.
In order to express parent->child relationships, this table is self-joined:

    # Person->belongs_to('father' => 'Person');
    # Person->belongs_to('mother' => 'Person');

C<from> can be used to nest joins. Here we return all children with a father,
then search against all mothers of those children:

  $rs = $schema->resultset('Person')->search(
      undef,
      {
          alias => 'mother', # alias columns in accordance with "from"
          from => [
              { mother => 'person' },
              [
                  [
                      { child => 'person' },
                      [
                          { father => 'person' },
                          { 'father.person_id' => 'child.father_id' }
                      ]
                  ],
                  { 'mother.person_id' => 'child.mother_id' }
              ],
          ]
      },
  );

  # Equivalent SQL:
  # SELECT mother.* FROM person mother
  # JOIN (
  #   person child
  #   JOIN person father
  #   ON ( father.person_id = child.father_id )
  # )
  # ON ( mother.person_id = child.mother_id )

The type of any join can be controlled manually. To search against only people
with a father in the person table, we could explicitly use C<INNER JOIN>:

    $rs = $schema->resultset('Person')->search(
        undef,
        {
            alias => 'child', # alias columns in accordance with "from"
            from => [
                { child => 'person' },
                [
                    { father => 'person', -join_type => 'inner' },
                    { 'father.id' => 'child.father_id' }
                ],
            ]
        },
    );

    # Equivalent SQL:
    # SELECT child.* FROM person child
    # INNER JOIN person father ON child.father_id = father.id
