Wasn't that easy?
+Beware, changing the Result class using
+L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/result_class> will replace any existing class
+completely including any special components loaded using
+load_components, eg L<DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime>.

=head2 Get raw data for blindingly fast results
If the L<HashRefInflator|DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator> solution
above is not fast enough for you, you can use a DBIx::Class to return values
-exactly as they come out of the data base with none of the convenience methods
+exactly as they come out of the database with none of the convenience methods
wrapped round them.
This is used like so:

You will need to map the array offsets to particular columns (you can

=head2 Getting Schema from a ResultSet
-To get the schema object from a result set, do the following:
+To get the L<DBIx::Class::Schema> object from a ResultSet, do the following:
$rs->result_source->schema

+=head2 Relationships across DB schemas
+
+Mapping relationships across L<DB schemas|DBIx::Class::Manual::Glossary/DB schema>
+is easy as long as the schemas themselves are all accessible via the same DBI
+connection. In most cases, this means that they are on the same database host
+as each other and your connecting database user has the proper permissions to them.
+
+To accomplish this one only needs to specify the DB schema name in the table
+declaration, like so...
+
+ package MyDatabase::Main::Artist;
+ use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
+ __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/PK::Auto Core/);
+
+ __PACKAGE__->table('database1.artist'); # will use "database1.artist" in FROM clause
+
+ __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ artistid name /);
+ __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('artistid');
+ __PACKAGE__->has_many('cds' => 'MyDatabase::Main::Cd');
+
+ 1;
+
+Whatever string you specify there will be used to build the "FROM" clause in SQL
+queries.
+
+The big drawback to this is you now have DB schema names hardcoded in your
+class files. This becomes especially troublesome if you have multiple instances
+of your application to support a change lifecycle (e.g. DEV, TEST, PROD) and
+the DB schemas are named based on the environment (e.g. database1_dev).
+
+However, one can dynamically "map" to the proper DB schema by overriding the
+L<connection|DBIx::Class::Schama/connection> method in your Schema class and
+building a renaming facility, like so:
+
+ package MyDatabase::Schema;
+ use Moose;
+
+ extends 'DBIx::Class::Schema';
+
+ around connection => sub {
+ my ( $inner, $self, $dsn, $username, $pass, $attr ) = ( shift, @_ );
+
+ my $postfix = delete $attr->{schema_name_postfix};
+
+ $inner->(@_);
+
+ if ( $postfix ) {
+ $self->append_db_name($postfix);
+ }
+ };
+
+ sub append_db_name {
+ my ( $self, $postfix ) = @_;
+
+ my @sources_with_db
+ = grep
+ { $_->name =~ /^\w+\./mx }
+ map
+ { $self->source($_) }
+ $self->sources;
+
+ foreach my $source (@sources_with_db) {
+ my $name = $source->name;
+ $name =~ s{^(\w+)\.}{${1}${postfix}\.}mx;
+
+ $source->name($name);
+ }
+ }
+
+ 1;
+
+By overridding the L<connection|DBIx::Class::Schama/connection>
+method and extracting a custom option from the provided \%attr hashref one can
+then simply iterate over all the Schema's ResultSources, renaming them as
+needed.
+
+To use this facility, simply add or modify the \%attr hashref that is passed to
+L<connection|DBIx::Class::Schama/connect>, as follows:
+
+ my $schema
+ = MyDatabase::Schema->connect(
+ $dsn,
+ $user,
+ $pass,
+ {
+ schema_name_postfix => '_dev'
+ # ... Other options as desired ...
+ })
+
+Obviously, one could accomplish even more advanced mapping via a hash map or a
+callback routine.
