+
+Sometimes you need only the first "top" row of a resultset. While this can be
+easily done with L<< $rs->first|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/first >>, it is suboptimal,
+as a full blown cursor for the resultset will be created and then immediately

+L<< $rs->single|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/single >> is

+While single() takes a search condition just like search() does, it does

+
+
+=item *
+Since single() is the engine behind find(), it is designed to fetch a
+single row per database query. Thus a warning will be issued when the
+underlying SELECT returns more than one row. Sometimes however this usage
+is valid: i.e. we have an arbitrary number of cd's but only one of them is
+at the top of the charts at any given time. If you know what you are doing,

+AKA multi-class object inflation from one table
+ 
+L<DBIx::Class> classes are proxy classes, therefore some different
+techniques need to be employed for more than basic subclassing.  In
+this example we have a single user table that carries a boolean bit
+for admin.  We would like like to give the admin users
+objects(L<DBIx::Class::Row>) the same methods as a regular user but
+also special admin only methods.  It doesn't make sense to create two
+seperate proxy-class files for this.  We would be copying all the user
+methods into the Admin class.  There is a cleaner way to accomplish
+this.
 
- sqlt --from DBI
-      --to DBIx::Class::File
-      --prefix "MySchema" > MySchema.pm
+Overriding the C<inflate_result> method within the User proxy-class
+gives us the effect we want.  This method is called by
+L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet> when inflating a result from storage.  So we
+grab the object being returned, inspect the values we are looking for,
+bless it if it's an admin object, and then return it.  See the example
+below:
+

-To create a MySQL database from an existing L<DBIx::Class> schema, convert the
-schema to MySQL's dialect of SQL:
+=head2 Skip row object creation for faster results
 
-  sqlt --from SQL::Translator::Parser::DBIx::Class 
-       --to MySQL 
-       --DBIx::Class "MySchema.pm" > Schema1.sql
+DBIx::Class is not built for speed, it's built for convenience and
+ease of use, but sometimes you just need to get the data, and skip the
+fancy objects.
   
-And import using the mysql client:
+To do this simply use L<DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator>.
+  
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD');
+ 
+ $rs->result_class('DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator');
+ 
+ my $hash_ref = $rs->find(1);
 
-  mysql -h "host" -D "database" -u "user" -p < Schema1.sql
+Wasn't that easy?
 
-=head2 Easy migration from class-based to schema-based setup
+=head2 Get raw data for blindingly fast results
 
-You want to start using the schema-based approach to L<DBIx::Class>
-(see L<SchemaIntro.pod>), but have an established class-based setup with lots
-of existing classes that you don't want to move by hand. Try this nifty script
+If the L<HashRefInflator|DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator> solution
+above is not fast enough for you, you can use a DBIx::Class to return values
+exactly as they come out of the data base with none of the convenience methods
+wrapped round them.
+
+This is used like so:
+
+  my $cursor = $rs->cursor
+  while (my @vals = $cursor->next) {
+      # use $val[0..n] here
+  }
+
+You will need to map the array offsets to particular columns (you can
+use the I<select> attribute of C<search()> to force ordering).
+
+=head1 RESULTSET OPERATIONS
+
+=head2 Getting Schema from a ResultSet
+
+To get the schema object from a result set, do the following:
+
+ $rs->result_source->schema
+
+=head2 Getting Columns Of Data
+
+AKA Aggregating Data
+
+If you want to find the sum of a particular column there are several
+ways, the obvious one is to use search:
+
+  my $rs = $schema->resultset('Items')->search(
+    {},
+    { 
+       select => [ { sum => 'Cost' } ],
+       as     => [ 'total_cost' ], # remember this 'as' is for DBIx::Class::ResultSet not SQL
+    }
+  );
+  my $tc = $rs->first->get_column('total_cost');
+
+Or, you can use the L<DBIx::Class::ResultSetColumn>, which gets
+returned when you ask the C<ResultSet> for a column using
+C<get_column>:
+
+  my $cost = $schema->resultset('Items')->get_column('Cost');
+  my $tc = $cost->sum;
+
+With this you can also do:
+
+  my $minvalue = $cost->min;
+  my $maxvalue = $cost->max;
+
+Or just iterate through the values of this column only:
+
+  while ( my $c = $cost->next ) {
+    print $c;
+  }
+
+  foreach my $c ($cost->all) {
+    print $c;
+  }
+
+C<ResultSetColumn> only has a limited number of built-in functions, if
+you need one that it doesn't have, then you can use the C<func> method
 instead:
 
-  use MyDB;
-  use SQL::Translator;
-  
-  my $schema = MyDB->schema_instance;
-  
-  my $translator           =  SQL::Translator->new( 
-      debug                => $debug          ||  0,
-      trace                => $trace          ||  0,
-      no_comments          => $no_comments    ||  0,
-      show_warnings        => $show_warnings  ||  0,
-      add_drop_table       => $add_drop_table ||  0,
-      validate             => $validate       ||  0,
-      parser_args          => {
-         'DBIx::Schema'    => $schema,
-                              },
-      producer_args   => {
-          'prefix'         => 'My::Schema',
-                         },
+  my $avg = $cost->func('AVERAGE');
+
+This will cause the following SQL statement to be run:
+
+  SELECT AVERAGE(Cost) FROM Items me
+
+Which will of course only work if your database supports this function.
+See L<DBIx::Class::ResultSetColumn> for more documentation.
+
+=head2 Creating a result set from a set of rows
+
+Sometimes you have a (set of) row objects that you want to put into a 
+resultset without the need to hit the DB again. You can do that by using the
+L<set_cache|DBIx::Class::Resultset/set_cache> method:
+
+ my @uploadable_groups;
+ while (my $group = $groups->next) {
+   if ($group->can_upload($self)) {
+     push @uploadable_groups, $group;
+   }
+ }
+ my $new_rs = $self->result_source->resultset;
+ $new_rs->set_cache(\@uploadable_groups);
+ return $new_rs;
+
+
+=head1 USING RELATIONSHIPS
+
+=head2 Create a new row in a related table
+
+  my $author = $book->create_related('author', { name => 'Fred'});
+
+=head2 Search in a related table
+
+Only searches for books named 'Titanic' by the author in $author.
+
+  my $books_rs = $author->search_related('books', { name => 'Titanic' });
+
+=head2 Delete data in a related table
+
+Deletes only the book named Titanic by the author in $author.
+
+  $author->delete_related('books', { name => 'Titanic' });
+
+=head2 Ordering a relationship result set
+
+If you always want a relation to be ordered, you can specify this when you 
+create the relationship.
+
+To order C<< $book->pages >> by descending page_number, create the relation
+as follows:
+
+  __PACKAGE__->has_many('pages' => 'Page', 'book', { order_by => \'page_number DESC'} );
+
+=head2 Filtering a relationship result set
+
+If you want to get a filtered result set, you can just add add to $attr as follows:
+
+ __PACKAGE__->has_many('pages' => 'Page', 'book', { where => { scrap => 0 } } );
+
+=head2 Many-to-many relationships
+
+This is straightforward using L<ManyToMany|DBIx::Class::Relationship/many_to_many>:
+
+  package My::User;
+  use base 'DBIx::Class';
+  __PACKAGE__->load_components('Core');
+  __PACKAGE__->table('user');
+  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/id name/);
+  __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('id');
+  __PACKAGE__->has_many('user_address' => 'My::UserAddress', 'user');
+  __PACKAGE__->many_to_many('addresses' => 'user_address', 'address');
+
+  package My::UserAddress;
+  use base 'DBIx::Class';
+  __PACKAGE__->load_components('Core');
+  __PACKAGE__->table('user_address');
+  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/user address/);
+  __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key(qw/user address/);
+  __PACKAGE__->belongs_to('user' => 'My::User');
+  __PACKAGE__->belongs_to('address' => 'My::Address');
+
+  package My::Address;
+  use base 'DBIx::Class';
+  __PACKAGE__->load_components('Core');
+  __PACKAGE__->table('address');
+  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/id street town area_code country/);
+  __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('id');
+  __PACKAGE__->has_many('user_address' => 'My::UserAddress', 'address');
+  __PACKAGE__->many_to_many('users' => 'user_address', 'user');
+
+  $rs = $user->addresses(); # get all addresses for a user
+  $rs = $address->users(); # get all users for an address
+
+=head1 TRANSACTIONS
+
+As of version 0.04001, there is improved transaction support in
+L<DBIx::Class::Storage> and L<DBIx::Class::Schema>.  Here is an
+example of the recommended way to use it:
+
+  my $genus = $schema->resultset('Genus')->find(12);
+
+  my $coderef2 = sub {
+    $genus->extinct(1);
+    $genus->update;
+  };
+
+  my $coderef1 = sub {
+    $genus->add_to_species({ name => 'troglodyte' });
+    $genus->wings(2);
+    $genus->update;
+    $schema->txn_do($coderef2); # Can have a nested transaction. Only the outer will actualy commit
+    return $genus->species;
+  };
+
+  my $rs;
+  eval {
+    $rs = $schema->txn_do($coderef1);
+  };
+
+  if ($@) {                             # Transaction failed
+    die "the sky is falling!"           #
+      if ($@ =~ /Rollback failed/);     # Rollback failed
+
+    deal_with_failed_transaction();
+  }
+
+Nested transactions will work as expected. That is, only the outermost
+transaction will actually issue a commit to the $dbh, and a rollback
+at any level of any transaction will cause the entire nested
+transaction to fail. Support for savepoints and for true nested
+transactions (for databases that support them) will hopefully be added
+in the future.
+
+=head1 SQL 
+
+=head2 Creating Schemas From An Existing Database
+
+L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader> will connect to a database and create a 
+L<DBIx::Class::Schema> and associated sources by examining the database.
+
+The recommend way of achieving this is to use the 
+L<make_schema_at|DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader/make_schema_at> method:
+
+  perl -MDBIx::Class::Schema::Loader=make_schema_at,dump_to_dir:./lib \
+    -e 'make_schema_at("My::Schema", { debug => 1 }, [ "dbi:Pg:dbname=foo","postgres" ])'
+
+This will create a tree of files rooted at C<./lib/My/Schema/> containing
+source definitions for all the tables found in the C<foo> database.
+
+=head2 Creating DDL SQL
+
+The following functionality requires you to have L<SQL::Translator>
+(also known as "SQL Fairy") installed.
+
+To create a set of database-specific .sql files for the above schema:
+
+ my $schema = My::Schema->connect($dsn);
+ $schema->create_ddl_dir(['MySQL', 'SQLite', 'PostgreSQL'],
+                        '0.1',
+                        './dbscriptdir/'
+                        );
+
+By default this will create schema files in the current directory, for
+MySQL, SQLite and PostgreSQL, using the $VERSION from your Schema.pm.
+
+To create a new database using the schema:
+
+ my $schema = My::Schema->connect($dsn);
+ $schema->deploy({ add_drop_tables => 1});
+
+To import created .sql files using the mysql client:
+
+  mysql -h "host" -D "database" -u "user" -p < My_Schema_1.0_MySQL.sql
+
+To create C<ALTER TABLE> conversion scripts to update a database to a
+newer version of your schema at a later point, first set a new
+C<$VERSION> in your Schema file, then:
+
+ my $schema = My::Schema->connect($dsn);
+ $schema->create_ddl_dir(['MySQL', 'SQLite', 'PostgreSQL'],
+                         '0.2',
+                         '/dbscriptdir/',
+                         '0.1'
+                         );
+
+This will produce new database-specific .sql files for the new version
+of the schema, plus scripts to convert from version 0.1 to 0.2. This
+requires that the files for 0.1 as created above are available in the
+given directory to diff against.
+
+=head2 Select from dual
+
+Dummy tables are needed by some databases to allow calling functions
+or expressions that aren't based on table content, for examples of how
+this applies to various database types, see:
+L<http://troels.arvin.dk/db/rdbms/#other-dummy_table>.
+
+Note: If you're using Oracles dual table don't B<ever> do anything
+other than a select, if you CRUD on your dual table you *will* break
+your database.
+
+Make a table class as you would for any other table
+                                                                               
+  package MyAppDB::Dual;
+  use strict;
+  use warnings;
+  use base 'DBIx::Class';
+  __PACKAGE__->load_components("Core");
+  __PACKAGE__->table("Dual");
+  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
+    "dummy",
+    { data_type => "VARCHAR2", is_nullable => 0, size => 1 },
   );
-  
-  $translator->parser('SQL::Translator::Parser::DBIx::Class');
-  $translator->producer('SQL::Translator::Producer::DBIx::Class::File');
-  
-  my $output = $translator->translate(@args) or die
-          "Error: " . $translator->error;
-  
-  print $output;
+ 
+Once you've loaded your table class select from it using C<select>
+and C<as> instead of C<columns>
+ 
+  my $rs = $schema->resultset('Dual')->search(undef,
+    { select => [ 'sydate' ],
+      as     => [ 'now' ]
+    },
+  );
+ 
+All you have to do now is be careful how you access your resultset, the below
+will not work because there is no column called 'now' in the Dual table class
+ 
+  while (my $dual = $rs->next) {
+    print $dual->now."\n";
+  }
+  # Can't locate object method "now" via package "MyAppDB::Dual" at headshot.pl line 23.
+ 
+You could of course use 'dummy' in C<as> instead of 'now', or C<add_columns> to
+your Dual class for whatever you wanted to select from dual, but that's just
+silly, instead use C<get_column>
+ 
+  while (my $dual = $rs->next) {
+    print $dual->get_column('now')."\n";
+  }
+ 
+Or use C<cursor>
+ 
+  my $cursor = $rs->cursor;
+  while (my @vals = $cursor->next) {
+    print $vals[0]."\n";
+  }
+ 
+Or use L<DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator>
+ 
+  $rs->result_class('DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator');
+  while ( my $dual = $rs->next ) {
+    print $dual->{now}."\n";
+  }
+ 
+Here are some example C<select> conditions to illustrate the different syntax
+you could use for doing stuff like 
+C<oracles.heavily(nested(functions_can('take', 'lots'), OF), 'args')>
+ 
+  # get a sequence value
+  select => [ 'A_SEQ.nextval' ],
+ 
+  # get create table sql
+  select => [ { 'dbms_metadata.get_ddl' => [ "'TABLE'", "'ARTIST'" ]} ],
+ 
+  # get a random num between 0 and 100
+  select => [ { "trunc" => [ { "dbms_random.value" => [0,100] } ]} ],
+ 
+  # what year is it?
+  select => [ { 'extract' => [ \'year from sysdate' ] } ],
+ 
+  # do some math
+  select => [ {'round' => [{'cos' => [ \'180 * 3.14159265359/180' ]}]}],
+ 
+  # which day of the week were you born on?
+  select => [{'to_char' => [{'to_date' => [ "'25-DEC-1980'", "'dd-mon-yyyy'" ]}, "'day'"]}],
+ 
+  # select 16 rows from dual
+  select   => [ "'hello'" ],
+  as       => [ 'world' ],
+  group_by => [ 'cube( 1, 2, 3, 4 )' ],
+ 
+ 
+
+=head2 Adding Indexes And Functions To Your SQL
+
+Often you will want indexes on columns on your table to speed up searching. To
+do this, create a method called C<sqlt_deploy_hook> in the relevant source 
+class (refer to the advanced 
+L<callback system|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/sqlt_deploy_callback> if you wish
+to share a hook between multiple sources):
+
+ package My::Schema::Artist;
+
+ __PACKAGE__->table('artist');
+ __PACKAGE__->add_columns(id => { ... }, name => { ... })
+
+ sub sqlt_deploy_hook {
+   my ($self, $sqlt_table) = @_;
+
+   $sqlt_table->add_index(name => 'idx_name', fields => ['name']);
+ }
+
+ 1;
+
+Sometimes you might want to change the index depending on the type of the 
+database for which SQL is being generated:
+
+  my ($db_type = $sqlt_table->schema->translator->producer_type)
+    =~ s/^SQL::Translator::Producer:://;
+
+You can also add hooks to the schema level to stop certain tables being 
+created:
+
+ package My::Schema;
+
+ ...
+
+ sub sqlt_deploy_hook {
+   my ($self, $sqlt_schema) = @_;
+
+   $sqlt_schema->drop_table('table_name');
+ }
+
+You could also add views, procedures or triggers to the output using
+L<SQL::Translator::Schema/add_view>,
+L<SQL::Translator::Schema/add_procedure> or
+L<SQL::Translator::Schema/add_trigger>.
 
-You could use L<Module::Find> to search for all subclasses in the MyDB::*
-namespace, which is currently left as an exercise for the reader.

-In DBIC, we'll overload the column accessor to provide a sane default if no

-First, in your "Camera" schema class, define the description field as follows:

-  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(description => { accessor => '_description' });
+then the load_components is only performed once, which can result in a
+considerable startup speedup for schemas with many classes.

+    __PACKAGE__->load_classes();
 
-      # Fetch the column value.
-      my $description = $self->_description;
+to load the result classes. This will use L<Module::Find|Module::Find>
+to find and load the appropriate modules. Explicitly defining the
+classes you wish to load will remove the overhead of
+L<Module::Find|Module::Find> and the related directory operations:-

-      return $description if defined $description && length $descripton;
+    __PACKAGE__->load_classes(qw/ CD Artist Track /);
 
-      # Otherwise, generate a description.
-      return $self->generate_description;

+If you are instead using the L<load_namespaces|DBIx::Class::Schema/load_namespaces>
+syntax to load the appropriate classes there is not a direct alternative
