18 DBIx::Class::ResultSource - Result source object
24 A ResultSource is a component of a schema from which results can be directly
25 retrieved, most usually a table (see L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource::Table>)

58 $table->add_columns('col1' => \%col1_info, 'col2' => \%col2_info, ...);
60 Adds columns to the result source. If supplied key => hashref pairs uses
61 the hashref as the column_info for that column.
65 $table->add_column('col' => \%info?);
67 Convenience alias to add_columns
73 return $self->resultset_class->new($self);
78 if ($obj->has_column($col)) { ... }
80 Returns 1 if the source has a column of this name, 0 otherwise.
85 my ($self, $column) = @_;
86 return exists $self->_columns->{$column};
91 my $info = $obj->column_info($col);

114 =head2 ordered_columns
116 my @column_names = $obj->ordered_columns;
118 Like columns(), but returns column names using the order in which they were
119 originally supplied to add_columns().
123 sub ordered_columns {
124 return @{shift->{_ordered_columns}||[]};
127 =head2 set_primary_key(@cols)
129 Defines one or more columns as primary key for this source. Should be
130 called after C<add_columns>.
134 sub set_primary_key {
135 my ($self, @cols) = @_;
136 # check if primary key columns are valid columns
138 $self->throw("No such column $_ on table ".$self->name)
139 unless $self->has_column($_);
141 $self->_primaries(\@cols);
144 =head2 primary_columns
146 Read-only accessor which returns the list of primary keys.
150 sub primary_columns {
151 return @{shift->_primaries||[]};
156 Returns an expression of the source to be supplied to storage to specify
157 retrieval from this source; in the case of a database the required FROM clause
164 Returns the storage handle for the current schema
168 sub storage { shift->schema->storage; }
