85 Create a schema class called MyDB/Schema.pm:
88 use base qw/DBIx::Class::Schema/;
90 __PACKAGE__->load_namespaces();
94 Create a result class to represent artists, who have many CDs, in
95 MyDB/Schema/Result/Artist.pm:
97 See L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource> for docs on defining result classes.
99 package MyDB::Schema::Result::Artist;
100 use base qw/DBIx::Class::Core/;
102 __PACKAGE__->table('artist');
103 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ artistid name /);
104 __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('artistid');
105 __PACKAGE__->has_many(cds => 'MyDB::Schema::Result::CD');
109 A result class to represent a CD, which belongs to an artist, in
110 MyDB/Schema/Result/CD.pm:
112 package MyDB::Schema::Result::CD;
113 use base qw/DBIx::Class::Core/;
115 __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/InflateColumn::DateTime/);
116 __PACKAGE__->table('cd');
117 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ cdid artistid title year /);
118 __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('cdid');
119 __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(artist => 'MyDB::Schema::Result::Artist', 'artistid');
123 Then you can use these classes in your application's code:
125 # Connect to your database.
127 my $schema = MyDB::Schema->connect($dbi_dsn, $user, $pass, \%dbi_params);
129 # Query for all artists and put them in an array,
130 # or retrieve them as a result set object.
131 # $schema->resultset returns a DBIx::Class::ResultSet
132 my @all_artists = $schema->resultset('Artist')->all;
133 my $all_artists_rs = $schema->resultset('Artist');
135 # Output all artists names
136 # $artist here is a DBIx::Class::Row, which has accessors
137 # for all its columns. Rows are also subclasses of your Result class.
138 foreach $artist (@all_artists) {
139 print $artist->name, "\n";
142 # Create a result set to search for artists.
143 # This does not query the DB.
144 my $johns_rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
145 # Build your WHERE using an SQL::Abstract structure:
146 { name => { like => 'John%' } }
149 # Execute a joined query to get the cds.
150 my @all_john_cds = $johns_rs->search_related('cds')->all;
152 # Fetch the next available row.
153 my $first_john = $johns_rs->next;
155 # Specify ORDER BY on the query.
156 my $first_john_cds_by_title_rs = $first_john->cds(
158 { order_by => 'title' }
161 # Create a result set that will fetch the artist data
162 # at the same time as it fetches CDs, using only one query.
163 my $millennium_cds_rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
165 { prefetch => 'artist' }
168 my $cd = $millennium_cds_rs->next; # SELECT ... FROM cds JOIN artists ...
169 my $cd_artist_name = $cd->artist->name; # Already has the data so no 2nd query
171 # new() makes a DBIx::Class::Row object but doesnt insert it into the DB.
172 # create() is the same as new() then insert().
173 my $new_cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->new({ title => 'Spoon' });
174 $new_cd->artist($cd->artist);
175 $new_cd->insert; # Auto-increment primary key filled in after INSERT
176 $new_cd->title('Fork');
178 $schema->txn_do(sub { $new_cd->update }); # Runs the update in a transaction
180 # change the year of all the millennium CDs at once
181 $millennium_cds_rs->update({ year => 2002 });
185 This is an SQL to OO mapper with an object API inspired by L<Class::DBI>
186 (with a compatibility layer as a springboard for porting) and a resultset API
187 that allows abstract encapsulation of database operations. It aims to make
188 representing queries in your code as perl-ish as possible while still
189 providing access to as many of the capabilities of the database as possible,
190 including retrieving related records from multiple tables in a single query,
191 JOIN, LEFT JOIN, COUNT, DISTINCT, GROUP BY, ORDER BY and HAVING support.
193 DBIx::Class can handle multi-column primary and foreign keys, complex
194 queries and database-level paging, and does its best to only query the
195 database in order to return something you've directly asked for. If a
196 resultset is used as an iterator it only fetches rows off the statement
197 handle as requested in order to minimise memory usage. It has auto-increment
198 support for SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server and DB2 and is
199 known to be used in production on at least the first four, and is fork-
200 and thread-safe out of the box (although
201 L<your DBD may not be|DBI/Threads_and_Thread_Safety>).
203 This project is still under rapid development, so large new features may be
204 marked EXPERIMENTAL - such APIs are still usable but may have edge bugs.
205 Failing test cases are *always* welcome and point releases are put out rapidly
206 as bugs are found and fixed.
208 We do our best to maintain full backwards compatibility for published
209 APIs, since DBIx::Class is used in production in many organisations,
210 and even backwards incompatible changes to non-published APIs will be fixed
211 if they're reported and doing so doesn't cost the codebase anything.
213 The test suite is quite substantial, and several developer releases
214 are generally made to CPAN before the branch for the next release is
215 merged back to trunk for a major release.
