you want to check if a resultset has any results, you must use C<if $rs
!= 0>.
-=head1 CUSTOM ResultSet CLASSES THAT USE Moose
-
-If you want to make your custom ResultSet classes with L<Moose>, use a template
-similar to:
-
- package MyApp::Schema::ResultSet::User;
-
- use Moose;
- use namespace::autoclean;
- use MooseX::NonMoose;
- extends 'DBIx::Class::ResultSet';
-
- sub BUILDARGS { $_[2] }
-
- ...your code...
-
- __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;
-
- 1;
-
-The L<MooseX::NonMoose> is necessary so that the L<Moose> constructor does not
-clash with the regular ResultSet constructor. Alternatively, you can use:
-
- __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable(inline_constructor => 0);
-
-The L<BUILDARGS|Moose::Manual::Construction/BUILDARGS> is necessary because the
-signature of the ResultSet C<new> is C<< ->new($source, \%args) >>.

=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
Essentially C<columns> does the same as L</select> and L</as>.
- columns => [ 'foo', { bar => 'baz' } ]
+ columns => [ 'some_column', { dbic_slot => 'another_column' } ]
is the same as
- select => [qw/foo baz/],
- as => [qw/foo bar/]
+ select => [qw(some_column another_column)],
+ as => [qw(some_column dbic_slot)]
+
+If you want to individually retrieve related columns (in essence perform
+manual prefetch) you have to make sure to specify the correct inflation slot
+chain such that it matches existing relationships:
+
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({}, {
+ # required to tell DBIC to collapse has_many relationships
+ collapse => 1,
+ join => { cds => 'tracks'},
+ '+columns' => {
+ 'cds.cdid' => 'cds.cdid',
+ 'cds.tracks.title' => 'tracks.title',
+ },
+ });
