Alternatively you can use L<DBIx::Class::DynamicSubclass> that implements
exactly the above functionality.

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

+Sometimes you have a (set of) result objects that you want to put into a
resultset without the need to hit the DB again. You can do that by using the
L<set_cache|DBIx::Class::Resultset/set_cache> method:
For example, say that you have three columns, C<id>, C<number>, and
C<squared>. You would like to make changes to C<number> and have
C<squared> be automagically set to the value of C<number> squared.

Note that the hard work is done by the call to C<< $self->$orig >>, which
redispatches your call to store_column in the superclass(es).

When inserting many rows, for best results, populate a large number of rows at a
time, but not so large that the table is locked for an unacceptably long time.
