+=item .. fetch as much data as possible in as few select calls as possible?
See the prefetch examples in the L<Cookbook|DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook>.
+=item .. fetch a whole column of data instead of a row?
+
+Call C<get_column> on a L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet>, this returns a
+L<DBIx::Class::ResultSetColumn>, see it's documentation and the
+L<Cookbook|DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook> for details.
+
+=item .. fetch a formatted column?
+
+In your table schema class, create a "private" column accessor with:
+
+ __PACKAGE__->add_columns(my_common => { accessor => '_hidden_my_column' });
+
+Then, in the same class, implement a subroutine called "my_column" that
+fetches the real value and does the formatting you want.
+
+See the Cookbook for more details.

+ __PACKAGE__->inflate_column('my_column', {
+ inflate => sub { jsonToObj(shift) },
