93 DBIx::Class::SQLAHacks::OracleJoins - Pre-ANSI Joins-via-Where-Clause Syntax
97 This module was originally written to support Oracle < 9i where ANSI joins
98 weren't supported at all, but became the module for Oracle >= 8 because
99 Oracle's optimising of ANSI joins is horrible. (See:
100 http://scsys.co.uk:8001/7495)
104 Not intended for use directly; used as the sql_maker_class for schemas and components.
108 Implements pre-ANSI joins specified in the where clause. Instead of:
110 SELECT x FROM y JOIN z ON y.id = z.id
114 SELECT x FROM y, z WHERE y.id = z.id
116 It should properly support left joins, and right joins. Full outer joins are
117 not possible due to the fact that Oracle requires the entire query be written
118 to union the results of a left and right join, and by the time this module is
119 called to create the where query and table definition part of the sql query,
120 it's already too late.
126 =item select ($\@$;$$@)
128 Replaces DBIx::Class::SQLAHacks's select() method, which calls _oracle_joins()
129 to modify the column and table list before calling SUPER::select().
131 =item _recurse_from ($$\@)
133 Recursive subroutine that builds the table list.
135 =item _oracle_joins ($$$@)
137 Creates the left/right relationship in the where query.
143 Does not support full outer joins.
