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>.

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

2193 augmentation of these methods provided by components. For example if you

2204 containing these objects is returned.

2725 B<Note>: Make sure to read the documentation of L</find> and understand the

2757 Attempt to create a single new row or a row with multiple related rows
2758 in the table represented by the resultset (and related tables). This
2759 will not check for duplicate rows before inserting, use
2760 L</find_or_create> to do that.
2762 To create one row for this resultset, pass a hashref of key/value
2763 pairs representing the columns of the table and the values you wish to
2764 store. If the appropriate relationships are set up, foreign key fields
2765 can also be passed an object representing the foreign row, and the
2766 value will be set to its primary key.
2768 To create related objects, pass a hashref of related-object column values
2769 B<keyed on the relationship name>. If the relationship is of type C<multi>
2770 (L<DBIx::Class::Relationship/has_many>) - pass an arrayref of hashrefs.
2771 The process will correctly identify columns holding foreign keys, and will
2772 transparently populate them from the keys of the corresponding relation.
2773 This can be applied recursively, and will work correctly for a structure
2774 with an arbitrary depth and width, as long as the relationships actually
2775 exists and the correct column data has been supplied.
2777 Instead of hashrefs of plain related data (key/value pairs), you may
2778 also pass new or inserted objects. New objects (not inserted yet, see
2779 L</new_result>), will be inserted into their appropriate tables.

3245 Currently the source alias that refers to the result set returned by a

3247 C<me> by default, but eg. L</search_related> aliases it to the related result

3249 term goal is to make L<DBIx::Class> always alias the current resultset as C<me>
3250 (and make this method unnecessary).
3252 Thus it's currently necessary to use this method in predefined queries (see

3292 # So the following works as expected
3293 my $ok_rs = $rs->search({'x.other' => 1});
3295 # But this doesn't: instead of finding a 'Bar' related to two x rows (abc and
3296 # def) we look for one row with contradictory terms and join in another table
3297 # (aliased 'x_2') which we never use
3298 my $broken_rs = $rs->search({'x.name' => 'def'});
3300 my $rs2 = $rs->as_subselect_rs;
3302 # doesn't work - 'x' is no longer accessible in $rs2, having been sealed away
3303 my $not_joined_rs = $rs2->search({'x.other' => 1});
3305 # works as expected: finds a 'table' row related to two x rows (abc and def)
3306 my $correctly_joined_rs = $rs2->search({'x.name' => 'def'});
3308 Another example of when one might use this would be to select a subset of
3309 columns in a group by clause:
3311 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Bar')->search(undef, {
3312 group_by => [qw{ id foo_id baz_id }],
3313 })->as_subselect_rs->search(undef, {
3314 columns => [qw{ id foo_id }]
3317 In the above example normally columns would have to be equal to the group by,
3318 but because we isolated the group by into a subselect the above works.

3938 # XXX: FIXME: Attributes docs need clearing up
3942 Attributes are used to refine a ResultSet in various ways when
3943 searching for data. They can be passed to any method which takes an
3944 C<\%attrs> argument. See L</search>, L</search_rs>, L</find>,
3947 Default attributes can be set on the result class using
3948 L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource/resultset_attributes>. (Please read
3949 the CAVEATS on that feature before using it!)
3951 These are in no particular order:
3957 =item Value: ( $order_by | \@order_by | \%order_by )
3961 Which column(s) to order the results by.
3963 [The full list of suitable values is documented in
3964 L<SQL::Abstract/"ORDER BY CLAUSES">; the following is a summary of
3967 If a single column name, or an arrayref of names is supplied, the
3968 argument is passed through directly to SQL. The hashref syntax allows
3969 for connection-agnostic specification of ordering direction:
3971 For descending order:
3973 order_by => { -desc => [qw/col1 col2 col3/] }
3975 For explicit ascending order:
3977 order_by => { -asc => 'col' }
3979 The old scalarref syntax (i.e. order_by => \'year DESC') is still
3980 supported, although you are strongly encouraged to use the hashref
3981 syntax as outlined above.
3987 =item Value: \@columns | \%columns | $column
3991 Shortcut to request a particular set of columns to be retrieved. Each
3992 column spec may be a string (a table column name), or a hash (in which
3993 case the key is the C<as> value, and the value is used as the C<select>
3994 expression). Adds C<me.> onto the start of any column without a C<.> in
3995 it and sets C<select> from that, then auto-populates C<as> from
3996 C<select> as normal. (You may also use the C<cols> attribute, as in
3997 earlier versions of DBIC, but this is deprecated.)
3999 Essentially C<columns> does the same as L</select> and L</as>.
4001 columns => [ 'foo', { bar => 'baz' } ]
4005 select => [qw/foo baz/],
4012 =item Value: \@columns
4016 Indicates additional columns to be selected from storage. Works the same as
4017 L</columns> but adds columns to the selection. (You may also use the
4018 C<include_columns> attribute, as in earlier versions of DBIC, but this is
4019 deprecated). For example:-
4021 $schema->resultset('CD')->search(undef, {
4022 '+columns' => ['artist.name'],
4026 would return all CDs and include a 'name' column to the information
4027 passed to object inflation. Note that the 'artist' is the name of the
4028 column (or relationship) accessor, and 'name' is the name of the column
4029 accessor in the related table.
4031 B<NOTE:> You need to explicitly quote '+columns' when defining the attribute.
4032 Not doing so causes Perl to incorrectly interpret +columns as a bareword with a
4033 unary plus operator before it.
4035 =head2 include_columns
4039 =item Value: \@columns
4043 Deprecated. Acts as a synonym for L</+columns> for backward compatibility.
4049 =item Value: \@select_columns
4053 Indicates which columns should be selected from the storage. You can use
4054 column names, or in the case of RDBMS back ends, function or stored procedure
4057 $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, {
4060 { count => 'employeeid' },
4061 { max => { length => 'name' }, -as => 'longest_name' }
4066 SELECT name, COUNT( employeeid ), MAX( LENGTH( name ) ) AS longest_name FROM employee
4068 B<NOTE:> You will almost always need a corresponding L</as> attribute when you
4069 use L</select>, to instruct DBIx::Class how to store the result of the column.
4070 Also note that the L</as> attribute has nothing to do with the SQL-side 'AS'
4071 identifier aliasing. You can however alias a function, so you can use it in
4072 e.g. an C<ORDER BY> clause. This is done via the C<-as> B<select function
4073 attribute> supplied as shown in the example above.
4075 B<NOTE:> You need to explicitly quote '+select'/'+as' when defining the attributes.
4076 Not doing so causes Perl to incorrectly interpret them as a bareword with a
4077 unary plus operator before it.
4083 Indicates additional columns to be selected from storage. Works the same as
4084 L</select> but adds columns to the default selection, instead of specifying
4093 =item Value: \@inflation_names
4097 Indicates column names for object inflation. That is L</as> indicates the
4098 slot name in which the column value will be stored within the
4099 L<Row|DBIx::Class::Row> object. The value will then be accessible via this
4100 identifier by the C<get_column> method (or via the object accessor B<if one
4101 with the same name already exists>) as shown below. The L</as> attribute has
4102 B<nothing to do> with the SQL-side C<AS>. See L</select> for details.
4104 $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, {
4107 { count => 'employeeid' },
4108 { max => { length => 'name' }, -as => 'longest_name' }
4117 If the object against which the search is performed already has an accessor
4118 matching a column name specified in C<as>, the value can be retrieved using
4119 the accessor as normal:
4121 my $name = $employee->name();
4123 If on the other hand an accessor does not exist in the object, you need to
4124 use C<get_column> instead:
4126 my $employee_count = $employee->get_column('employee_count');
4128 You can create your own accessors if required - see
4129 L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook> for details.
4135 Indicates additional column names for those added via L</+select>. See L</as>.
4143 =item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names)
4147 Contains a list of relationships that should be joined for this query. For
4150 # Get CDs by Nine Inch Nails
4151 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
4152 { 'artist.name' => 'Nine Inch Nails' },
4153 { join => 'artist' }
4156 Can also contain a hash reference to refer to the other relation's relations.
4159 package MyApp::Schema::Track;
4160 use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
4161 __PACKAGE__->table('track');
4162 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/trackid cd position title/);
4163 __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('trackid');
4164 __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(cd => 'MyApp::Schema::CD');
4167 # In your application
4168 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
4169 { 'track.title' => 'Teardrop' },
4171 join => { cd => 'track' },
4172 order_by => 'artist.name',
4176 You need to use the relationship (not the table) name in conditions,
4177 because they are aliased as such. The current table is aliased as "me", so
4178 you need to use me.column_name in order to avoid ambiguity. For example:
4180 # Get CDs from 1984 with a 'Foo' track
4181 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
4184 'tracks.name' => 'Foo'
4186 { join => 'tracks' }
4189 If the same join is supplied twice, it will be aliased to <rel>_2 (and
4190 similarly for a third time). For e.g.
4192 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({
4193 'cds.title' => 'Down to Earth',
4194 'cds_2.title' => 'Popular',
4196 join => [ qw/cds cds/ ],
4199 will return a set of all artists that have both a cd with title 'Down
4200 to Earth' and a cd with title 'Popular'.
4202 If you want to fetch related objects from other tables as well, see L</prefetch>
4205 NOTE: An internal join-chain pruner will discard certain joins while
4206 constructing the actual SQL query, as long as the joins in question do not
4207 affect the retrieved result. This for example includes 1:1 left joins
4208 that are not part of the restriction specification (WHERE/HAVING) nor are
4209 a part of the query selection.
4211 For more help on using joins with search, see L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Joining>.
4217 =item Value: (0 | 1)
4221 When set to a true value, indicates that any rows fetched from joined has_many
4222 relationships are to be aggregated into the corresponding "parent" object. For
4223 example, the resultset:
4225 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({}, {
4226 '+columns' => [ qw/ tracks.title tracks.position / ],
4231 While executing the following query:
4233 SELECT me.*, tracks.title, tracks.position
4235 LEFT JOIN track tracks
4236 ON tracks.cdid = me.cdid
4238 Will return only as many objects as there are rows in the CD source, even
4239 though the result of the query may span many rows. Each of these CD objects
4240 will in turn have multiple "Track" objects hidden behind the has_many
4241 generated accessor C<tracks>. Without C<< collapse => 1 >>, the return values
4242 of this resultset would be as many CD objects as there are tracks (a "Cartesian
4243 product"), with each CD object containing exactly one of all fetched Track data.
4245 When a collapse is requested on a non-ordered resultset, an order by some
4246 unique part of the main source (the left-most table) is inserted automatically.
4247 This is done so that the resultset is allowed to be "lazy" - calling
4248 L<< $rs->next|/next >> will fetch only as many rows as it needs to build the next
4249 object with all of its related data.
4251 If an L</order_by> is already declared, and orders the resultset in a way that
4252 makes collapsing as described above impossible (e.g. C<< ORDER BY
4253 has_many_rel.column >> or C<ORDER BY RANDOM()>), DBIC will automatically
4254 switch to "eager" mode and slurp the entire resultset before constructing the
4255 first object returned by L</next>.
4257 Setting this attribute on a resultset that does not join any has_many
4258 relations is a no-op.
4260 For a more in-depth discussion, see L</PREFETCHING>.
4266 =item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names)
4270 This attribute is a shorthand for specifying a L</join> spec, adding all
4271 columns from the joined related sources as L</+columns> and setting
4272 L</collapse> to a true value. For example, the following two queries are
4275 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({}, {
4276 prefetch => { cds => ['genre', 'tracks' ] },
4281 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({}, {
4282 join => { cds => ['genre', 'tracks' ] },
4286 { +{ "cds.$_" => "cds.$_" } }
4287 $schema->source('Artist')->related_source('cds')->columns
4290 { +{ "cds.genre.$_" => "genre.$_" } }
4291 $schema->source('Artist')->related_source('cds')->related_source('genre')->columns
4294 { +{ "cds.tracks.$_" => "tracks.$_" } }
4295 $schema->source('Artist')->related_source('cds')->related_source('tracks')->columns
4300 Both producing the following SQL:
4302 SELECT me.artistid, me.name, me.rank, me.charfield,
4303 cds.cdid, cds.artist, cds.title, cds.year, cds.genreid, cds.single_track,
4304 genre.genreid, genre.name,
4305 tracks.trackid, tracks.cd, tracks.position, tracks.title, tracks.last_updated_on, tracks.last_updated_at
4308 ON cds.artist = me.artistid
4309 LEFT JOIN genre genre
4310 ON genre.genreid = cds.genreid
4311 LEFT JOIN track tracks
4312 ON tracks.cd = cds.cdid
4313 ORDER BY me.artistid
4315 While L</prefetch> implies a L</join>, it is ok to mix the two together, as
4316 the arguments are properly merged and generally do the right thing. For
4317 example, you may want to do the following:
4319 my $artists_and_cds_without_genre = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
4320 { 'genre.genreid' => undef },
4322 join => { cds => 'genre' },
4327 Which generates the following SQL:
4329 SELECT me.artistid, me.name, me.rank, me.charfield,
4330 cds.cdid, cds.artist, cds.title, cds.year, cds.genreid, cds.single_track
4333 ON cds.artist = me.artistid
4334 LEFT JOIN genre genre
4335 ON genre.genreid = cds.genreid
4336 WHERE genre.genreid IS NULL
4337 ORDER BY me.artistid
4339 For a more in-depth discussion, see L</PREFETCHING>.
4345 =item Value: $source_alias
4349 Sets the source alias for the query. Normally, this defaults to C<me>, but
4350 nested search queries (sub-SELECTs) might need specific aliases set to
4351 reference inner queries. For example:
4354 ->related_resultset('CDs')
4355 ->related_resultset('Tracks')
4357 'track.id' => { -ident => 'none_search.id' },
4361 my $ids = $self->search({
4364 alias => 'none_search',
4365 group_by => 'none_search.id',
4366 })->get_column('id')->as_query;
4368 $self->search({ id => { -in => $ids } })
4370 This attribute is directly tied to L</current_source_alias>.
4380 Makes the resultset paged and specifies the page to retrieve. Effectively
4381 identical to creating a non-pages resultset and then calling ->page($page)
4384 If L</rows> attribute is not specified it defaults to 10 rows per page.
4386 When you have a paged resultset, L</count> will only return the number
4387 of rows in the page. To get the total, use the L</pager> and call
4388 C<total_entries> on it.
4398 Specifies the maximum number of rows for direct retrieval or the number of
4399 rows per page if the page attribute or method is used.
4405 =item Value: $offset
4409 Specifies the (zero-based) row number for the first row to be returned, or the
4410 of the first row of the first page if paging is used.
4412 =head2 software_limit
4416 =item Value: (0 | 1)
4420 When combined with L</rows> and/or L</offset> the generated SQL will not
4421 include any limit dialect stanzas. Instead the entire result will be selected
4422 as if no limits were specified, and DBIC will perform the limit locally, by
4423 artificially advancing and finishing the resulting L</cursor>.
4425 This is the recommended way of performing resultset limiting when no sane RDBMS
4426 implementation is available (e.g.
4427 L<Sybase ASE|DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::ASE> using the
4428 L<Generic Sub Query|DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::LimitDialects/GenericSubQ> hack)
4434 =item Value: \@columns
4438 A arrayref of columns to group by. Can include columns of joined tables.
4440 group_by => [qw/ column1 column2 ... /]
4446 =item Value: $condition
4450 HAVING is a select statement attribute that is applied between GROUP BY and
4451 ORDER BY. It is applied to the after the grouping calculations have been
4454 having => { 'count_employee' => { '>=', 100 } }
4456 or with an in-place function in which case literal SQL is required:
4458 having => \[ 'count(employee) >= ?', [ count => 100 ] ]
4464 =item Value: (0 | 1)
4468 Set to 1 to group by all columns. If the resultset already has a group_by
4469 attribute, this setting is ignored and an appropriate warning is issued.
4475 Adds to the WHERE clause.
4477 # only return rows WHERE deleted IS NULL for all searches
4478 __PACKAGE__->resultset_attributes({ where => { deleted => undef } });
4480 Can be overridden by passing C<< { where => undef } >> as an attribute
4483 For more complicated where clauses see L<SQL::Abstract/WHERE CLAUSES>.
4489 Set to 1 to cache search results. This prevents extra SQL queries if you
4490 revisit rows in your ResultSet:
4492 my $resultset = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search( undef, { cache => 1 } );
4494 while( my $artist = $resultset->next ) {
4498 $rs->first; # without cache, this would issue a query
4500 By default, searches are not cached.
4502 For more examples of using these attributes, see
4503 L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook>.
4509 =item Value: ( 'update' | 'shared' | \$scalar )
4513 Set to 'update' for a SELECT ... FOR UPDATE or 'shared' for a SELECT
4514 ... FOR SHARED. If \$scalar is passed, this is taken directly and embedded in the
4519 DBIx::Class supports arbitrary related data prefetching from multiple related
4520 sources. Any combination of relationship types and column sets are supported.
4521 If L<collapsing|/collapse> is requested, there is an additional requirement of
4522 selecting enough data to make every individual object uniquely identifiable.
4524 Here are some more involved examples, based on the following relationship map:
4527 My::Schema::CD->belongs_to( artist => 'My::Schema::Artist' );
4528 My::Schema::CD->might_have( liner_note => 'My::Schema::LinerNotes' );
4529 My::Schema::CD->has_many( tracks => 'My::Schema::Track' );
4531 My::Schema::Artist->belongs_to( record_label => 'My::Schema::RecordLabel' );
4533 My::Schema::Track->has_many( guests => 'My::Schema::Guest' );
4537 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Tag')->search(
4546 The initial search results in SQL like the following:
4548 SELECT tag.*, cd.*, artist.* FROM tag
4549 JOIN cd ON tag.cd = cd.cdid
4550 JOIN artist ON cd.artist = artist.artistid
4552 L<DBIx::Class> has no need to go back to the database when we access the
4553 C<cd> or C<artist> relationships, which saves us two SQL statements in this
4556 Simple prefetches will be joined automatically, so there is no need
4557 for a C<join> attribute in the above search.
4559 The L</prefetch> attribute can be used with any of the relationship types
4560 and multiple prefetches can be specified together. Below is a more complex
4561 example that prefetches a CD's artist, its liner notes (if present),
4562 the cover image, the tracks on that CD, and the guests on those
4565 my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
4569 { artist => 'record_label'}, # belongs_to => belongs_to
4570 'liner_note', # might_have
4571 'cover_image', # has_one
4572 { tracks => 'guests' }, # has_many => has_many
4577 This will produce SQL like the following:
4579 SELECT cd.*, artist.*, record_label.*, liner_note.*, cover_image.*,
4583 ON artist.artistid = me.artistid
4584 JOIN record_label record_label
4585 ON record_label.labelid = artist.labelid
4586 LEFT JOIN track tracks
4587 ON tracks.cdid = me.cdid
4588 LEFT JOIN guest guests
4589 ON guests.trackid = track.trackid
4590 LEFT JOIN liner_notes liner_note
4591 ON liner_note.cdid = me.cdid
4592 JOIN cd_artwork cover_image
4593 ON cover_image.cdid = me.cdid
4596 Now the C<artist>, C<record_label>, C<liner_note>, C<cover_image>,
4597 C<tracks>, and C<guests> of the CD will all be available through the
4598 relationship accessors without the need for additional queries to the
4603 Prefetch does a lot of deep magic. As such, it may not behave exactly
4604 as you might expect.
4610 Prefetch uses the L</cache> to populate the prefetched relationships. This
4611 may or may not be what you want.
4615 If you specify a condition on a prefetched relationship, ONLY those
4616 rows that match the prefetched condition will be fetched into that relationship.
4617 This means that adding prefetch to a search() B<may alter> what is returned by
4618 traversing a relationship. So, if you have C<< Artist->has_many(CDs) >> and you do
4620 my $artist_rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({
4626 my $count = $artist_rs->first->cds->count;
4628 my $artist_rs_prefetch = $artist_rs->search( {}, { prefetch => 'cds' } );
4630 my $prefetch_count = $artist_rs_prefetch->first->cds->count;
4632 cmp_ok( $count, '==', $prefetch_count, "Counts should be the same" );
4634 That cmp_ok() may or may not pass depending on the datasets involved. In other
4635 words the C<WHERE> condition would apply to the entire dataset, just like
4636 it would in regular SQL. If you want to add a condition only to the "right side"
4637 of a C<LEFT JOIN> - consider declaring and using a L<relationship with a custom
4638 condition|DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base/condition>
4642 =head1 DBIC BIND VALUES
4644 Because DBIC may need more information to bind values than just the column name
4645 and value itself, it uses a special format for both passing and receiving bind
4646 values. Each bind value should be composed of an arrayref of
4647 C<< [ \%args => $val ] >>. The format of C<< \%args >> is currently:
4653 If present (in any form), this is what is being passed directly to bind_param.
4654 Note that different DBD's expect different bind args. (e.g. DBD::SQLite takes
4655 a single numerical type, while DBD::Pg takes a hashref if bind options.)
4657 If this is specified, all other bind options described below are ignored.
4661 If present, this is used to infer the actual bind attribute by passing to
4662 C<< $resolved_storage->bind_attribute_by_data_type() >>. Defaults to the
4663 "data_type" from the L<add_columns column info|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_columns>.
4665 Note that the data type is somewhat freeform (hence the sqlt_ prefix);
4666 currently drivers are expected to "Do the Right Thing" when given a common
4667 datatype name. (Not ideal, but that's what we got at this point.)
4671 Currently used to correctly allocate buffers for bind_param_inout().
4672 Defaults to "size" from the L<add_columns column info|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_columns>,
4673 or to a sensible value based on the "data_type".
4677 Used to fill in missing sqlt_datatype and sqlt_size attributes (if they are
4678 explicitly specified they are never overridden). Also used by some weird DBDs,
4679 where the column name should be available at bind_param time (e.g. Oracle).
4683 For backwards compatibility and convenience, the following shortcuts are
4686 [ $name => $val ] === [ { dbic_colname => $name }, $val ]
4687 [ \$dt => $val ] === [ { sqlt_datatype => $dt }, $val ]
4688 [ undef, $val ] === [ {}, $val ]
4689 $val === [ {}, $val ]
