=head1 NAME
-DBIx::Class::ResultSet - Responsible for fetching and creating resultset.
+DBIx::Class::ResultSet - Represents a query used for fetching a set of results.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
- my $rs = $schema->resultset('User')->search({ registered => 1 });
- my @rows = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({ year => 2005 })->all();
+ my $users_rs = $schema->resultset('User');
+ my $registered_users_rs = $schema->resultset('User')->search({ registered => 1 });
+ my @cds_in_2005 = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({ year => 2005 })->all();
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-The resultset is also known as an iterator. It is responsible for handling
-queries that may return an arbitrary number of rows, e.g. via L</search>
-or a C<has_many> relationship.
+A ResultSet is an object which stores a set of conditions representing
+a query. It is the backbone of DBIx::Class (i.e. the really
+important/useful bit).
-In the examples below, the following table classes are used:
+No SQL is executed on the database when a ResultSet is created, it
+just stores all the conditions needed to create the query.
- package MyApp::Schema::Artist;
- use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
- __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/);
- __PACKAGE__->table('artist');
- __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/artistid name/);
- __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('artistid');
- __PACKAGE__->has_many(cds => 'MyApp::Schema::CD');
- 1;
+A basic ResultSet representing the data of an entire table is returned
+by calling C<resultset> on a L<DBIx::Class::Schema> and passing in a
+L<Source|DBIx::Class::Manual::Glossary/Source> name.
- package MyApp::Schema::CD;
- use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
- __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/);
- __PACKAGE__->table('cd');
- __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/cdid artist title year/);
- __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('cdid');
- __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(artist => 'MyApp::Schema::Artist');
- 1;
+ my $users_rs = $schema->resultset('User');
+
+A new ResultSet is returned from calling L</search> on an existing
+ResultSet. The new one will contain all the conditions of the
+original, plus any new conditions added in the C<search> call.
+
+A ResultSet also incorporates an implicit iterator. L</next> and L</reset>
+can be used to walk through all the L<DBIx::Class::Row>s the ResultSet
+represents.
+
+The query that the ResultSet represents is B<only> executed against
+the database when these methods are called:
+L</find> L</next> L</all> L</first> L</single> L</count>
+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+=head2 Chaining resultsets
+
+Let's say you've got a query that needs to be run to return some data
+to the user. But, you have an authorization system in place that
+prevents certain users from seeing certain information. So, you want
+to construct the basic query in one method, but add constraints to it in
+another.
+
+ sub get_data {
+ my $self = shift;
+ my $request = $self->get_request; # Get a request object somehow.
+ my $schema = $self->get_schema; # Get the DBIC schema object somehow.
+
+ my $cd_rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({
+ title => $request->param('title'),
+ year => $request->param('year'),
+ });
+
+ $self->apply_security_policy( $cd_rs );
+
+ return $cd_rs->all();
+ }
+
+ sub apply_security_policy {
+ my $self = shift;
+ my ($rs) = @_;
+
+ return $rs->search({
+ subversive => 0,
+ });
+ }
+
+=head3 Resolving conditions and attributes
+
+When a resultset is chained from another resultset, conditions and
+attributes with the same keys need resolving.
+
+L</join>, L</prefetch>, L</+select>, L</+as> attributes are merged
+into the existing ones from the original resultset.
+
+The L</where>, L</having> attribute, and any search conditions are
+merged with an SQL C<AND> to the existing condition from the original
+resultset.
+
+All other attributes are overridden by any new ones supplied in the
+search attributes.
+
+=head2 Multiple queries
+
+Since a resultset just defines a query, you can do all sorts of
+things with it with the same object.
+
+ # Don't hit the DB yet.
+ my $cd_rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({
+ title => 'something',
+ year => 2009,
+ });
+
+ # Each of these hits the DB individually.
+ my $count = $cd_rs->count;
+ my $most_recent = $cd_rs->get_column('date_released')->max();
+ my @records = $cd_rs->all;
+
+And it's not just limited to SELECT statements.
+
+ $cd_rs->delete();
+
+This is even cooler:
+
+ $cd_rs->create({ artist => 'Fred' });
+
+Which is the same as:
+
+ $schema->resultset('CD')->create({
+ title => 'something',
+ year => 2009,
+ artist => 'Fred'
+ });
+
+See: L</search>, L</count>, L</get_column>, L</all>, L</create>.

CAVEAT: C<search_literal> is provided for Class::DBI compatibility and should
-only be used in that context. There are known problems using C<search_literal>
-in chained queries; it can result in bind values in the wrong order. See
-L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook/Searching> and
+only be used in that context. C<search_literal> is a convenience method.
+It is equivalent to calling $schema->search(\[]), but if you want to ensure
+columns are bound correctly, use C<search>.
+
+Example of how to use C<search> instead of C<search_literal>
+
+ my @cds = $cd_rs->search_literal('cdid = ? AND (artist = ? OR artist = ?)', (2, 1, 2));
+ my @cds = $cd_rs->search(\[ 'cdid = ? AND (artist = ? OR artist = ?)', [ 'cdid', 2 ], [ 'artist', 1 ], [ 'artist', 2 ] ]);
+
+
+See L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook/Searching> and
L<DBIx::Class::Manual::FAQ/Searching> for searching techniques that do not
require C<search_literal>.

+If you need to express really complex joins, you
can supply literal SQL to C<from> via a scalar reference. In this case
-the contents of the scalar will replace the table name asscoiated with the
+the contents of the scalar will replace the table name associated with the
resultsource.
