-For example, if you're creating a rel from Author to Book, where the Book
-table has a column author_id containing the ID of the Author row:
+For example, if you're creating a relationship from C<Author> to C<Book>, where
+the C<Book> table has a column C<author_id> containing the ID of the C<Author>
+row:
{ 'foreign.author_id' => 'self.id' }
-will result in the JOIN clause
+will result in the C<JOIN> clause
+
+ author me JOIN book book ON book.author_id = me.id
+
+For multi-column foreign keys, you will need to specify a C<foreign>-to-C<self>
+mapping for each column in the key. For example, if you're creating a
+relationship from C<Book> to C<Edition>, where the C<Edition> table refers to a
+publisher and a type (e.g. "paperback"):
- author me JOIN book book ON bar.author_id = me.id
+ {
+ 'foreign.publisher_id' => 'self.publisher_id',
+ 'foreign.type_id' => 'self.type_id',
+ }
-You can specify as many foreign => self mappings as necessary. Each key/value
-pair provided in a hashref will be used as ANDed conditions, to add an ORed
-condition, use an arrayref of hashrefs. See the L<SQL::Abstract> documentation
-for more details.
+This will result in the C<JOIN> clause:
-Valid attributes are as follows:
+ book me JOIN edition edition ON edition.publisher_id = me.publisher_id
+ AND edition.type_id = me.type_id
+
+Each key-value pair provided in a hashref will be used as C<AND>ed conditions.
+To add an C<OR>ed condition, use an arrayref of hashrefs. See the
+L<SQL::Abstract> documentation for more details.
+
+In addition to the
+L<standard ResultSet attributes|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/ATTRIBUTES>,
+the following attributes are also valid:
=over 4
An arrayref containing a list of accessors in the foreign class to create in
the main class. If, for example, you do the following:
- MyDB::Schema::CD->might_have(liner_notes => 'MyDB::Schema::LinerNotes', undef, {
- proxy => [ qw/notes/ ],
- });
+ MyDB::Schema::CD->might_have(liner_notes => 'MyDB::Schema::LinerNotes',
+ undef, {
+ proxy => [ qw/notes/ ],
+ });
Then, assuming MyDB::Schema::LinerNotes has an accessor named notes, you can do:
a column accessor). For C<multi> accessors, an add_to_* method is also
created, which calls C<create_related> for the relationship.
+=item is_foreign_key_constraint
+
+If you are using L<SQL::Translator> to create SQL for you and you find that it
+is creating constraints where it shouldn't, or not creating them where it
+should, set this attribute to a true or false value to override the detection
+of when to create constraints.
+
+=item on_delete / on_update
+
+If you are using L<SQL::Translator> to create SQL for you, you can use these
+attributes to explicitly set the desired C<ON DELETE> or C<ON UPDATE> constraint
+type. If not supplied the SQLT parser will attempt to infer the constraint type by
+interrogating the attributes of the B<opposite> relationship. For any 'multi'
+relationship with C<< cascade_delete => 1 >>, the corresponding belongs_to
+relationship will be created with an C<ON DELETE CASCADE> constraint. For any
+relationship bearing C<< cascade_copy => 1 >> the resulting belongs_to constraint
+will be C<ON UPDATE CASCADE>. If you wish to disable this autodetection, and just
+use the RDBMS' default constraint type, pass C<< on_delete => undef >> or
+C<< on_delete => '' >>, and the same for C<on_update> respectively.
+
+=item is_deferrable
+
+Tells L<SQL::Translator> that the foreign key constraint it creates should be
+deferrable. In other words, the user may request that the constraint be ignored
+until the end of the transaction. Currently, only the PostgreSQL producer
+actually supports this.
+
+=item add_fk_index
+
+Tells L<SQL::Translator> to add an index for this constraint. Can also be
+specified globally in the args to L<DBIx::Class::Schema/deploy> or
+L<DBIx::Class::Schema/create_ddl_dir>. Default is on, set to 0 to disable.
