-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>
-clauses.
-
-NOTE: Use this on your own risk.  This allows you to shoot off your foot!
-
-C<join> will usually do what you need and it is strongly recommended that you
-avoid using C<from> unless you cannot achieve the desired result using C<join>.
-And we really do mean "cannot", not just tried and failed. Attempting to use
-this because you're having problems with C<join> is like trying to use x86
-ASM because you've got a syntax error in your C. Trust us on this.
-
-Now, if you're still really, really sure you need to use this (and if you're
-not 100% sure, ask the mailing list first), here's an explanation of how this
-works.
-
-The syntax is as follows -
-
-  [
-    { <alias1> => <table1> },
-    [
-      { <alias2> => <table2>, -join_type => 'inner|left|right' },
-      [], # nested JOIN (optional)
-      { <table1.column1> => <table2.column2>, ... (more conditions) },
-    ],
-    # More of the above [ ] may follow for additional joins
-  ]
-
-  <table1> <alias1>
-  JOIN
-    <table2> <alias2>
-    [JOIN ...]
-  ON <table1.column1> = <table2.column2>
-  <more joins may follow>
-
-An easy way to follow the examples below is to remember the following:
-
-    Anything inside "[]" is a JOIN
-    Anything inside "{}" is a condition for the enclosing JOIN
-
-The following examples utilize a "person" table in a family tree application.
-In order to express parent->child relationships, this table is self-joined:
-
-    # Person->belongs_to('father' => 'Person');
-    # Person->belongs_to('mother' => 'Person');
-
-C<from> can be used to nest joins. Here we return all children with a father,
-then search against all mothers of those children:
-
-  $rs = $schema->resultset('Person')->search(
-      undef,
-      {
-          alias => 'mother', # alias columns in accordance with "from"
-          from => [
-              { mother => 'person' },
-              [
-                  [
-                      { child => 'person' },
-                      [
-                          { father => 'person' },
-                          { 'father.person_id' => 'child.father_id' }
-                      ]
-                  ],
-                  { 'mother.person_id' => 'child.mother_id' }
-              ],
-          ]
-      },
-  );
-
-  # Equivalent SQL:
-  # SELECT mother.* FROM person mother
-  # JOIN (
-  #   person child
-  #   JOIN person father
-  #   ON ( father.person_id = child.father_id )
-  # )
-  # ON ( mother.person_id = child.mother_id )
-
-The type of any join can be controlled manually. To search against only people
-with a father in the person table, we could explicitly use C<INNER JOIN>:
-
-    $rs = $schema->resultset('Person')->search(
-        undef,
-        {
-            alias => 'child', # alias columns in accordance with "from"
-            from => [
-                { child => 'person' },
-                [
-                    { father => 'person', -join_type => 'inner' },
-                    { 'father.id' => 'child.father_id' }
-                ],
-            ]
-        },
-    );
-
-    # Equivalent SQL:
-    # SELECT child.* FROM person child
-    # INNER JOIN person father ON child.father_id = father.id
-
-You can select from a subquery by passing a resultset to from as follows.
-
-    $schema->resultset('Artist')->search( 
-        undef, 
-        {   alias => 'artist2',
-            from  => [ { artist2 => $artist_rs->as_query } ],
-        } );
-
-    # and you'll get sql like this..
-    # SELECT artist2.artistid, artist2.name, artist2.rank, artist2.charfield FROM 
-    #   ( SELECT me.artistid, me.name, me.rank, me.charfield FROM artists me ) artist2
-
-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 associated with the
-resultsource.
-
-WARNING: This technique might very well not work as expected on chained
-searches - you have been warned.
-
-    # Assuming the Event resultsource is defined as:
-
-        MySchema::Event->add_columns (
-            sequence => {
-                data_type => 'INT',
-                is_auto_increment => 1,
-            },
-            location => {
-                data_type => 'INT',
-            },
-            type => {
-                data_type => 'INT',
-            },
-        );
-        MySchema::Event->set_primary_key ('sequence');
-
-    # This will get back the latest event for every location. The column
-    # selector is still provided by DBIC, all we do is add a JOIN/WHERE
-    # combo to limit the resultset
-
-    $rs = $schema->resultset('Event');
-    $table = $rs->result_source->name;
-    $latest = $rs->search (
-        undef,
-        { from => \ "
-            (SELECT e1.* FROM $table e1
-                JOIN $table e2
-                    ON e1.location = e2.location
-                    AND e1.sequence < e2.sequence
-                WHERE e2.sequence is NULL
-            ) me",
-        },
-    );
-
-    # Equivalent SQL (with the DBIC chunks added):
-
-    SELECT me.sequence, me.location, me.type FROM
-       (SELECT e1.* FROM events e1
-           JOIN events e2
-               ON e1.location = e2.location
-               AND e1.sequence < e2.sequence
-           WHERE e2.sequence is NULL
-       ) me;
