=head2 Transactions
As of version 0.04001, there is improved transaction support in
-L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI> and L<DBIx::Class::Schema>. Here is an
+L<DBIx::Class::Storage> and L<DBIx::Class::Schema>. Here is an
example of the recommended way to use it:
my $genus = $schema->resultset('Genus')->find(12);
=head2 Profiling
-When you enable L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI>'s debugging it prints the SQL
+When you enable L<DBIx::Class::Storage>'s debugging it prints the SQL
executed as well as notifications of query completion and transaction
begin/commit. If you'd like to profile the SQL you can subclass the
L<DBIx::Class::Storage::Statistics> class and write your own profiling
### The statement below will print
print "I can do admin stuff\n" if $admin->can('do_admin_stuff');
+=head2 Skip object creation for faster results
+
+DBIx::Class is not built for speed, it's built for convenience and
+ease of use, but sometimes you just need to get the data, and skip the
+fancy objects. Luckily this is also fairly easy using
+C<inflate_result>:
+
+ # Define a class which just returns the results as a hashref:
+ package My::HashRefInflator;
+
+ ## $me is the hashref of cols/data from the immediate resultsource
+ ## $prefetch is a deep hashref of all the data from the prefetched
+ ## related sources.
+
+ sub mk_hash {
+ my ($me, $rest) = @_;
+
+ return { %$me,
+ map { ($_ => mk_hash(@{$rest->{$_}})) } keys %$rest
+ };
+ }
+
+ sub inflate_result {
+ my ($self, $source, $me, $prefetch) = @_;
+ return mk_hash($me, $prefetch);
+ }
+
+ # Change the object inflation to a hashref for just this resultset:
+ $rs->result_class('My::HashRefInflator');
+
+ my $datahashref = $rs->next;
+ foreach my $col (keys %$datahashref) {
+ if(!ref($datahashref->{$col})) {
+ # It's a plain value
+ }
+ elsif(ref($datahashref->{$col} eq 'HASH')) {
+ # It's a related value in a hashref
+ }
+ }
+
+=head2 Want to know if find_or_create found or created a row?
+
+Just use C<find_or_new> instead, then check C<in_storage>:
+
+ my $obj = $rs->find_or_new({ blah => 'blarg' });
+ unless ($obj->in_storage) {
+ $obj->insert;
+ # do whatever else you wanted if it was a new row
+ }
