The resultset constructor. Takes a source object (usually a

+L<DBIx::Class::ResultSourceProxy::Table>) and an attribute hash (see
+L</ATTRIBUTES> below). Does not perform any queries -- these are
+executed as needed by the other methods.
Generally you won't need to construct a resultset manually. You'll
automatically get one from e.g. a L</search> called in scalar context:
my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({ title => '100th Window' });
+IMPORTANT: If called on an object, proxies to new_result instead so
+
+ my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->new({ title => 'Spoon' });
+
+will return a CD object, not a ResultSet.

+=over 4

- { include_columns => ['foo.name'], join => ['foo'] }
+ $schema->resultset('CD')->search(undef, {
+ include_columns => ['artist.name'],
+ join => ['artist']

-would add a 'name' column to the information passed to object inflation

=head2 select
-=head3 Arguments: (arrayref)
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: \@select_columns
+
+=back
Indicates which columns should be selected from the storage. You can use
column names, or in the case of RDBMS back ends, function or stored procedure
names:
- $rs = $schema->resultset('Foo')->search(
- undef,
- {
- select => [
- 'column_name',
- { count => 'column_to_count' },
- { sum => 'column_to_sum' }
- ]
- }
- );
+ $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, {
+ select => [
+ 'name',
+ { count => 'employeeid' },
+ { sum => 'salary' }
+ ]
+ });
When you use function/stored procedure names and do not supply an C<as>
attribute, the column names returned are storage-dependent. E.g. MySQL would
-return a column named C<count(column_to_count)> in the above example.
+return a column named C<count(employeeid)> in the above example.
=head2 as
-=head3 Arguments: (arrayref)
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: \@inflation_names
+
+=back
Indicates column names for object inflation. This is used in conjunction with
C<select>, usually when C<select> contains one or more function or stored
procedure names:
- $rs = $schema->resultset('Foo')->search(
- undef,
- {
- select => [
- 'column1',
- { count => 'column2' }
- ],
- as => [qw/ column1 column2_count /]
- }
- );
+ $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, {
+ select => [
+ 'name',
+ { count => 'employeeid' }
+ ],
+ as => ['name', 'employee_count'],
+ });
- my $foo = $rs->first(); # get the first Foo
+ my $employee = $rs->first(); # get the first Employee
If the object against which the search is performed already has an accessor
matching a column name specified in C<as>, the value can be retrieved using
the accessor as normal:
- my $column1 = $foo->column1();
+ my $name = $employee->name();
If on the other hand an accessor does not exist in the object, you need to
use C<get_column> instead:
- my $column2_count = $foo->get_column('column2_count');
+ my $employee_count = $employee->get_column('employee_count');
You can create your own accessors if required - see
L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook> for details.
=head2 join
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names)
+
+=back
+
Contains a list of relationships that should be joined for this query. For
example:
If the same join is supplied twice, it will be aliased to <rel>_2 (and
similarly for a third time). For e.g.
- my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
- { 'cds.title' => 'Foo',
- 'cds_2.title' => 'Bar' },
- { join => [ qw/cds cds/ ] });

+ });
-will return a set of all artists that have both a cd with title Foo and a cd
-with title Bar.
+will return a set of all artists that have both a cd with title 'Down

If you want to fetch related objects from other tables as well, see C<prefetch>
below.
=head2 prefetch
-=head3 Arguments: arrayref/hashref
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names)
+
+=back
Contains one or more relationships that should be fetched along with the main
query (when they are accessed afterwards they will have already been
=head2 from
-=head3 Arguments: (arrayref)
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: \@from_clause
+
+=back
The C<from> attribute gives you manual control over the C<FROM> clause of SQL
statements generated by L<DBIx::Class>, allowing you to express custom C<JOIN>
[
{ <alias> => <table>, -join-type => 'inner|left|right' }
[] # nested JOIN (optional)
- { <table.column> = <foreign_table.foreign_key> }
+ { <table.column> => <foreign_table.foreign_key> }
]
JOIN
=head2 page
-For a paged resultset, specifies which page to retrieve. Leave unset
-for an unpaged resultset.
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: $page
+
+=back
+
+Makes the resultset paged and specifies the page to retrieve. Effectively
+identical to creating a non-pages resultset and then calling ->page($page)
+on it.
=head2 rows
-For a paged resultset, how many rows per page:
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: $rows
- rows => 10
+=back
-Can also be used to simulate an SQL C<LIMIT>.
+Specifes the maximum number of rows for direct retrieval or the number of
+rows per page if the page attribute or method is used.
=head2 group_by
-=head3 Arguments: (arrayref)
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: \@columns
+
+=back
A arrayref of columns to group by. Can include columns of joined tables.
=head2 distinct
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: (0 | 1)
+
+=back
+
Set to 1 to group by all columns.
+=head2 cache
+
+Set to 1 to cache search results. This prevents extra SQL queries if you
+revisit rows in your ResultSet:
+
+ my $resultset = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search( undef, { cache => 1 } );
+
+ while( my $artist = $resultset->next ) {
+ ... do stuff ...
+ }
+
+ $rs->first; # without cache, this would issue a query
+
+By default, searches are not cached.
