447 DBIx::Class::ResultSource::MultipleTableInheritance
448 Use multiple tables to define your classes
452 This only works with PostgreSQL at the moment. It has been tested with
453 PostgreSQL 9.0 and 9.1 beta.
455 There is one additional caveat: the "parent" result classes that you
456 defined with this resultsource must have one primary column and it must
462 package Cafe::Result::Coffee;
466 use parent 'DBIx::Class::Core';
467 use aliased 'DBIx::Class::ResultSource::MultipleTableInheritance'
470 __PACKAGE__->table_class(MTI);
471 __PACKAGE__->table('coffee');
472 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
473 "id", { data_type => "integer" },
476 default_value => "good" },
479 __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key("id");
485 package Cafe::Result::Sumatra;
487 use parent 'Cafe::Result::Coffee';
489 __PACKAGE__->table('sumatra');
491 __PACKAGE__->add_columns( "aroma",
492 { data_type => "text" }
500 my $schema = Cafe->connect($dsn,$user,$pass);
502 my $cup = $schema->resultset('Sumatra');
504 print STDERR Dwarn $cup->result_source->columns;
511 Inherit from this package and you can make a resultset class from a view, but
512 that's more than a little bit misleading: the result is B<transparently
515 This is accomplished through the use of stored procedures that map changes
516 written to the view to changes to the underlying concrete tables.
520 In many applications, many classes are subclasses of others. Let's say you
523 # Conceptual domain model
538 That's redundant. Hold on a sec...
546 class Investor extends User {
550 Good idea, but how to put this into code?
552 One far-too common and absolutely horrendous solution is to have a "checkbox"
553 in your database: a nullable "investor" column, which entails a nullable
554 "dollars" column, in the user table.
556 create table "user" (
557 "id" integer not null primary key autoincrement,
558 "name" text not null,
559 "password" text not null,
560 "investor" tinyint(1),
564 Let's not discuss that further.
566 A second, better, solution is to break out the two tables into user and
569 create table "user" (
570 "id" integer not null primary key autoincrement,
571 "name" text not null,
572 "password" text not null
575 create table "investor" (
576 "id" integer not null references user("id"),
580 So that investor's PK is just an FK to the user. We can clearly see the class
581 hierarchy here, in which investor is a subclass of user. In DBIx::Class
582 applications, this second strategy looks like:
584 my $user_rs = $schema->resultset('User');
585 my $new_user = $user_rs->create(
586 name => $args->{name},
587 password => $args->{password},
592 my $new_investor = $schema->resultset('Investor')->create(
594 dollars => $args->{dollars},
597 One can cope well with the second strategy, and it seems to be the most popular
602 There is a third strategy implemented here. Make the database do more of the
603 work: hide the nasty bits so we don't have to handle them unless we really want
604 to. It'll save us some typing and it'll make for more expressive code. What if
607 my $new_investor = $schema->resultset('Investor')->create(
608 name => $args->{name},
609 password => $args->{password},
610 dollars => $args->{dollars},
613 And have it Just Work? The user...
616 name => $args->{name},
617 password => $args->{password},
620 should be created behind the scenes, and the use of either user or investor
621 in your code should require no special handling. Deleting and updating
622 $new_investor should also delete or update the user row.
624 It does. User and investor are both views, their concrete tables abstracted
625 away behind a set of rules and triggers. You would expect the above DBIC
626 create statement to look like this in SQL:
628 INSERT INTO investor ("name","password","dollars") VALUES (...);
630 But using MTI, it is really this:
632 INSERT INTO _user_table ("username","password") VALUES (...);
633 INSERT INTO _investor_table ("id","dollars") VALUES (currval('_user_table_id_seq',...) );
635 For deletes, the triggers fire in reverse, to preserve referential integrity
636 (foreign key constraints). For instance:
638 my $investor = $schema->resultset('Investor')->find({id => $args->{id}});
643 DELETE FROM _investor_table WHERE ("id" = ?);
644 DELETE FROM _user_table WHERE ("id" = ?);
654 MTI find the parents, if any, of your resultset class and adds them to the
655 list of parent_sources for the table.
658 =item add_additional_parents
661 Continuing with coffee:
663 __PACKAGE__->result_source_instance->add_additional_parents(
665 MyApp::Schema::Result::Beverage
666 MyApp::Schema::Result::Liquid
670 This just lets you manually add additional parents beyond the ones MTI finds.
672 =item add_additional_parent
674 __PACKAGE__->result_source_instance->add_additional_parent(
675 MyApp::Schema::Result::Beverage
678 You can also add just one.
680 =item attach_additional_sources
682 MTI takes the parents' sources and relationships, creates a new
683 DBIx::Class::Table object from them, and registers this as a new, raw, source
688 print STDERR map { "$_\n" } MyApp::Schema->sources;
696 Raw::Sumatra will be used to generate the view.
698 =item view_definition
700 This takes the raw table and generates the view (and stored procedures) you will use.
