55 The community can be found via:
57 Mailing list: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/dbix-class/

67 Create a schema class called MyDB/Schema.pm:
70 use base qw/DBIx::Class::Schema/;
72 __PACKAGE__->load_namespaces();
76 Create a result class to represent artists, who have many CDs, in
77 MyDB/Schema/Result/Artist.pm:
79 See L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource> for docs on defining result classes.
81 package MyDB::Schema::Result::Artist;
82 use base qw/DBIx::Class::Core/;
84 __PACKAGE__->table('artist');
85 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ artistid name /);
86 __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('artistid');
87 __PACKAGE__->has_many(cds => 'MyDB::Schema::Result::CD');
91 A result class to represent a CD, which belongs to an artist, in
92 MyDB/Schema/Result/CD.pm:
94 package MyDB::Schema::Result::CD;
95 use base qw/DBIx::Class::Core/;
97 __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/InflateColumn::DateTime/);
98 __PACKAGE__->table('cd');
99 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ cdid artistid title year /);
100 __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('cdid');
101 __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(artist => 'MyDB::Schema::Artist', 'artistid');
105 Then you can use these classes in your application's code:
107 # Connect to your database.
109 my $schema = MyDB::Schema->connect($dbi_dsn, $user, $pass, \%dbi_params);
111 # Query for all artists and put them in an array,
112 # or retrieve them as a result set object.
113 # $schema->resultset returns a DBIx::Class::ResultSet
114 my @all_artists = $schema->resultset('Artist')->all;
115 my $all_artists_rs = $schema->resultset('Artist');
117 # Output all artists names
118 # $artist here is a DBIx::Class::Row, which has accessors
119 # for all its columns. Rows are also subclasses of your Result class.
120 foreach $artist (@all_artists) {
121 print $artist->name, "\n";
124 # Create a result set to search for artists.
125 # This does not query the DB.
126 my $johns_rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
127 # Build your WHERE using an SQL::Abstract structure:
128 { name => { like => 'John%' } }
131 # Execute a joined query to get the cds.
132 my @all_john_cds = $johns_rs->search_related('cds')->all;
134 # Fetch the next available row.
135 my $first_john = $johns_rs->next;
137 # Specify ORDER BY on the query.
138 my $first_john_cds_by_title_rs = $first_john->cds(
140 { order_by => 'title' }
143 # Create a result set that will fetch the artist data
144 # at the same time as it fetches CDs, using only one query.
145 my $millennium_cds_rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
147 { prefetch => 'artist' }
150 my $cd = $millennium_cds_rs->next; # SELECT ... FROM cds JOIN artists ...
151 my $cd_artist_name = $cd->artist->name; # Already has the data so no 2nd query
153 # new() makes a DBIx::Class::Row object but doesnt insert it into the DB.
154 # create() is the same as new() then insert().
155 my $new_cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->new({ title => 'Spoon' });
156 $new_cd->artist($cd->artist);
157 $new_cd->insert; # Auto-increment primary key filled in after INSERT
158 $new_cd->title('Fork');
160 $schema->txn_do(sub { $new_cd->update }); # Runs the update in a transaction
162 # change the year of all the millennium CDs at once
163 $millennium_cds_rs->update({ year => 2002 });
167 This is an SQL to OO mapper with an object API inspired by L<Class::DBI>
168 (with a compatibility layer as a springboard for porting) and a resultset API
169 that allows abstract encapsulation of database operations. It aims to make
170 representing queries in your code as perl-ish as possible while still
171 providing access to as many of the capabilities of the database as possible,
172 including retrieving related records from multiple tables in a single query,
173 JOIN, LEFT JOIN, COUNT, DISTINCT, GROUP BY, ORDER BY and HAVING support.
175 DBIx::Class can handle multi-column primary and foreign keys, complex
176 queries and database-level paging, and does its best to only query the
177 database in order to return something you've directly asked for. If a
178 resultset is used as an iterator it only fetches rows off the statement
179 handle as requested in order to minimise memory usage. It has auto-increment
180 support for SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server and DB2 and is
181 known to be used in production on at least the first four, and is fork-
182 and thread-safe out of the box (although your DBD may not be).
184 This project is still under rapid development, so large new features may be
185 marked EXPERIMENTAL - such APIs are still usable but may have edge bugs.
186 Failing test cases are *always* welcome and point releases are put out rapidly
187 as bugs are found and fixed.
189 We do our best to maintain full backwards compatibility for published
190 APIs, since DBIx::Class is used in production in many organisations,
191 and even backwards incompatible changes to non-published APIs will be fixed
192 if they're reported and doing so doesn't cost the codebase anything.
194 The test suite is quite substantial, and several developer releases
195 are generally made to CPAN before the branch for the next release is
196 merged back to trunk for a major release.
