DBIx::Class::InflateColumn - Automatically create objects from column data
for the database.
It can be used, for example, to automatically convert to and from
-L<DateTime> objects for your date and time fields.
+L<DateTime> objects for your date and time fields.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 inflate_column
-Instruct L<DBIx::Class> to inflate the given column.
+Instruct L<DBIx::Class> to inflate the given column.
In addition to the column name, you must provide C<inflate> and
C<deflate> methods. The C<inflate> method is called when you access
(Replace L<DateTime::Format::Pg> with the appropriate module for your
database, or consider L<DateTime::Format::DBI>.)
+The coderefs you set for inflate and deflate are called with two parameters,
+the first is the value of the column to be inflated/deflated, the second is the
+row object itself. Thus you can call C<< ->result_source->schema->storage->dbh >> on
+it, to feed to L<DateTime::Format::DBI>.
+
In this example, calls to an event's C<insert_time> accessor return a
L<DateTime> object. This L<DateTime> object is later "deflated" when
used in the database layer.

+Fetch a column value in its inflated state. This is directly
