(Potential) Features for 0.09 ============================= Subselects - everyone wants these - Will require new/improved SQL::Abstract - The API will involve passing ResultSets to searches as conditions/values/whatever. Row/find caching - would be pretty useful - Need to have good definitions of when the cache should be queried and when invalidated - Be able to supply own expiry? - Be able to invalidate manually? Single item / entire cache / single table Deprecate compose_connection / DB.pm - Everyone has probably forgotten what this is anyway.. Syntax improvements? - "as" to "alias" ? - "belongs_to" to "contains/refers/something" - order_by to take a arrayref/hashref so it also just works with quoting - ?? Using inflated objects/references as values in searches - Goes together with subselects above - should deflate then run search FilterColumn - like Inflate, only for changing scalar values - This seems to be vaporware atm.. SQL/API feature complete? - UNION - proper join conditions! - function calls on the LHS of conditions.. Moosification - ouch Prefetch improvements - slow on mysql, speedup? - multi has_many prefetch - paging working with prefetch Magically "discover" needed joins/prefetches and add them - eg $books->search({ 'author.name' => 'Fred'}), autoadds: join => 'author' - also guess aliases when supplying column names that are on joined/related tables Metamodel stuff - introspection Storage API/restructure - call update/insert etc on the ResultSource, which then calls to storage - handle different storages/db-specific code better - better cross-db code .. eg LIKE/ILIKE Relationships - single vs filter, discrepancies.. remove one of them and make behave the same? SQL::Abstract et al - be able to extract/view/dump what the SQL is *going to* be before running it - bind params sanity? (order of bind params broken when using a resultsource based on a select statement) - etc Joining/searching weird attribute tables? - Support legacy/badly designed junk better.. Documentation - improvements - better indexing for finding of stuff in general - more cross-referencing of docs
