+=head1 NAME
+
+DBIx::Class::ResultSet - Represents a query used for fetching a set of results.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ my $users_rs = $schema->resultset('User');
+ while( $user = $users_rs->next) {
+ print $user->username;
+ }
+
+ my $registered_users_rs = $schema->resultset('User')->search({ registered => 1 });
+ my @cds_in_2005 = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({ year => 2005 })->all();
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+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).
+
+No SQL is executed on the database when a ResultSet is created, it
+just stores all the conditions needed to create the query.
+
+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.
+
+ 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>.
+
+If a resultset is used in a numeric context it returns the L</count>.
+However, if it is used in a boolean context it is B<always> true. So if
+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 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->result_source->schema;
+
+ my $cd_rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({
+ title => $request->param('title'),
+ year => $request->param('year'),
+ });
+
+ $cd_rs = $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 (e.g.:
+C<< my $new_rs = $old_rs->search(\%extra_cond, \%attrs) >>), conditions
+and attributes with the same keys need resolving.
+
+If any of L</columns>, L</select>, L</as> are present, they reset the
+original selection, and start the selection "clean".
+
+The L</join>, L</prefetch>, L</+columns>, L</+select>, L</+as> attributes
+are merged into the existing ones from the original resultset.
+
+The L</where> and L</having> attributes, 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>.

+
+=item Arguments: L<$source|DBIx::Class::ResultSource>, L<\%attrs?|/ATTRIBUTES>
+
+=item Return Value: L<$resultset|/search>
+
+=back
+
+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 never construct a resultset manually. Instead you get one
+from e.g. a
+C<< $schema->L<resultset|DBIx::Class::Schema/resultset>('$source_name') >>
+or C<< $another_resultset->L<search|/search>(...) >> (the later called in
+scalar context):
+
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({ title => '100th Window' });
+
+=over
+
+=item WARNING
+
+If called on an object, proxies to L</new_result> instead, so
+
+ my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->new({ title => 'Spoon' });
+
+will return a CD object, not a ResultSet, and is equivalent to:
+
+ my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->new_result({ title => 'Spoon' });
+
+Please also keep in mind that many internals call L</new_result> directly,
+so overloading this method with the idea of intercepting new result object
+creation B<will not work>. See also warning pertaining to L</create>.

+objects, for more info see:

+Finds and returns a single row based on supplied criteria. Takes either a
+hashref with the same format as L</create> (including inference of foreign
+keys from related objects), or a list of primary key values in the same
+order as the L<primary columns|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/primary_columns>
+declaration on the L</result_source>.
+
+In either case an attempt is made to combine conditions already existing on
+the resultset with the condition passed to this method.
+
+To aid with preparing the correct query for the storage you may supply the
+C<key> attribute, which is the name of a
+L<unique constraint|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_unique_constraint> (the
+unique constraint corresponding to the
+L<primary columns|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/primary_columns> is always named
+C<primary>). If the C<key> attribute has been supplied, and DBIC is unable
+to construct a query that satisfies the named unique constraint fully (
+non-NULL values for each column member of the constraint) an exception is
+thrown.
+
+If no C<key> is specified, the search is carried over all unique constraints
+which are fully defined by the available condition.
+
+If no such constraint is found, C<find> currently defaults to a simple
+C<< search->(\%column_values) >> which may or may not do what you expect.
+Note that this fallback behavior may be deprecated in further versions. If
+you need to search with arbitrary conditions - use L</search>. If the query
+resulting from this fallback produces more than one row, a warning to the
+effect is issued, though only the first row is constructed and returned as
+C<$result_object>.
+
+In addition to C<key>, L</find> recognizes and applies standard
+L<resultset attributes|/ATTRIBUTES> in the same way as L</search> does.
+
+Note that if you have extra concerns about the correctness of the resulting
+query you need to specify the C<key> attribute and supply the entire condition
+as an argument to find (since it is not always possible to perform the
+combination of the resultset condition with the supplied one, especially if
+the resultset condition contains literal sql).
+
+For example, to find a row by its primary key:
+

+
+The context of this method call has an important effect on what is

+insertion routines provided by the underlying storage (most often
+L<DBI/execute_for_fetch>), bypassing the L<new|DBIx::Class::Row/new> and
+L<insert|DBIx::Class::Row/insert> calls on the
+L<Result|DBIx::Class::Manual::ResultClass> class, including any
+augmentation of these methods provided by components. For example if you
+are using something like L<DBIx::Class::UUIDColumns> to create primary
+keys for you, you will find that your PKs are empty. In this case you
+will have to explicitly force scalar or list context in order to create
+those values.
+
+=back
+
+In non-void (scalar or list) context, this method is simply a wrapper
+for L</create>. Depending on list or scalar context either a list of
+L<Result|DBIx::Class::Manual::ResultClass> objects or an arrayref
+containing these objects is returned.
+
+When supplying data in "arrayref of arrayrefs" invocation style, the
+first element should be a list of column names and each subsequent
+element should be a data value in the earlier specified column order.
+For example:
+
+ $schema->resultset("Artist")->populate([
+ [ qw( artistid name ) ],
+ [ 100, 'A Formally Unknown Singer' ],
+ [ 101, 'A singer that jumped the shark two albums ago' ],
+ [ 102, 'An actually cool singer' ],
+ ]);
+
+For the arrayref of hashrefs style each hashref should be a structure
+suitable for passing to L</create>. Multi-create is also permitted with
+this syntax.
+
+ $schema->resultset("Artist")->populate([
+ { artistid => 4, name => 'Manufactured Crap', cds => [
+ { title => 'My First CD', year => 2006 },
+ { title => 'Yet More Tweeny-Pop crap', year => 2007 },
+ ],
+ },
+ { artistid => 5, name => 'Angsty-Whiny Girl', cds => [
+ { title => 'My parents sold me to a record company', year => 2005 },
+ { title => 'Why Am I So Ugly?', year => 2006 },
+ { title => 'I Got Surgery and am now Popular', year => 2007 }
+ ],
+ },
+ ]);
+
+If you attempt a void-context multi-create as in the example above (each
+Artist also has the related list of CDs), and B<do not> supply the
+necessary autoinc foreign key information, this method will proxy to the
+less efficient L</create>, and then throw the Result objects away. In this
+case there are obviously no benefits to using this method over L</create>.

+Act as a barrier to SQL symbols. The resultset provided will be made into a
+"virtual view" by including it as a subquery within the from clause. From this
+point on, any joined tables are inaccessible to ->search on the resultset (as if
+it were simply where-filtered without joins). For example:
+
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('Bar')->search({'x.name' => 'abc'},{ join => 'x' });
+
+ # 'x' now pollutes the query namespace
+
+ # So the following works as expected
+ my $ok_rs = $rs->search({'x.other' => 1});
+
+ # But this doesn't: instead of finding a 'Bar' related to two x rows (abc and
+ # def) we look for one row with contradictory terms and join in another table
+ # (aliased 'x_2') which we never use
+ my $broken_rs = $rs->search({'x.name' => 'def'});
+
+ my $rs2 = $rs->as_subselect_rs;
+
+ # doesn't work - 'x' is no longer accessible in $rs2, having been sealed away
+ my $not_joined_rs = $rs2->search({'x.other' => 1});
+
+ # works as expected: finds a 'table' row related to two x rows (abc and def)
+ my $correctly_joined_rs = $rs2->search({'x.name' => 'def'});
+
+Another example of when one might use this would be to select a subset of
+columns in a group by clause:
+
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('Bar')->search(undef, {
+ group_by => [qw{ id foo_id baz_id }],
+ })->as_subselect_rs->search(undef, {
+ columns => [qw{ id foo_id }]
+ });
+
+In the above example normally columns would have to be equal to the group by,
+but because we isolated the group by into a subselect the above works.

+
+=head1 ATTRIBUTES
+
+Attributes are used to refine a ResultSet in various ways when
+searching for data. They can be passed to any method which takes an
+C<\%attrs> argument. See L</search>, L</search_rs>, L</find>,
+L</count>.
+
+Default attributes can be set on the result class using
+L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource/resultset_attributes>. (Please read
+the CAVEATS on that feature before using it!)
+
+These are in no particular order:
+
+=head2 order_by
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: ( $order_by | \@order_by | \%order_by )
+
+=back
+
+Which column(s) to order the results by.
+
+[The full list of suitable values is documented in
+L<SQL::Abstract/"ORDER BY CLAUSES">; the following is a summary of
+common options.]
+
+If a single column name, or an arrayref of names is supplied, the
+argument is passed through directly to SQL. The hashref syntax allows
+for connection-agnostic specification of ordering direction:
+
+ For descending order:
+
+ order_by => { -desc => [qw/col1 col2 col3/] }
+
+ For explicit ascending order:
+
+ order_by => { -asc => 'col' }
+
+The old scalarref syntax (i.e. order_by => \'year DESC') is still
+supported, although you are strongly encouraged to use the hashref
+syntax as outlined above.
+
+=head2 columns
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: \@columns | \%columns | $column
+
+=back
+
+Shortcut to request a particular set of columns to be retrieved. Each
+column spec may be a string (a table column name), or a hash (in which
+case the key is the C<as> value, and the value is used as the C<select>
+expression). Adds C<me.> onto the start of any column without a C<.> in
+it and sets C<select> from that, then auto-populates C<as> from
+C<select> as normal. (You may also use the C<cols> attribute, as in
+earlier versions of DBIC, but this is deprecated.)
+
+Essentially C<columns> does the same as L</select> and L</as>.
+
+ columns => [ 'foo', { bar => 'baz' } ]
+
+is the same as
+
+ select => [qw/foo baz/],
+ as => [qw/foo bar/]
+
+=head2 +columns
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: \@columns
+
+=back
+
+Indicates additional columns to be selected from storage. Works the same as
+L</columns> but adds columns to the selection. (You may also use the
+C<include_columns> attribute, as in earlier versions of DBIC, but this is
+deprecated). For example:-
+
+ $schema->resultset('CD')->search(undef, {
+ '+columns' => ['artist.name'],
+ join => ['artist']
+ });
+
+would return all CDs and include a 'name' column to the information
+passed to object inflation. Note that the 'artist' is the name of the
+column (or relationship) accessor, and 'name' is the name of the column
+accessor in the related table.
+
+B<NOTE:> You need to explicitly quote '+columns' when defining the attribute.
+Not doing so causes Perl to incorrectly interpret +columns as a bareword with a
+unary plus operator before it.
+
+=head2 include_columns
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: \@columns
+
+=back
+
+Deprecated. Acts as a synonym for L</+columns> for backward compatibility.
+
+=head2 select
+
+=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('Employee')->search(undef, {
+ select => [
+ 'name',
+ { count => 'employeeid' },
+ { max => { length => 'name' }, -as => 'longest_name' }
+ ]
+ });
+
+ # Equivalent SQL
+ SELECT name, COUNT( employeeid ), MAX( LENGTH( name ) ) AS longest_name FROM employee
+
+B<NOTE:> You will almost always need a corresponding L</as> attribute when you
+use L</select>, to instruct DBIx::Class how to store the result of the column.
+Also note that the L</as> attribute has nothing to do with the SQL-side 'AS'
+identifier aliasing. You can however alias a function, so you can use it in
+e.g. an C<ORDER BY> clause. This is done via the C<-as> B<select function
+attribute> supplied as shown in the example above.
+
+B<NOTE:> You need to explicitly quote '+select'/'+as' when defining the attributes.
+Not doing so causes Perl to incorrectly interpret them as a bareword with a
+unary plus operator before it.
+
+=head2 +select
+
+=over 4
+
+Indicates additional columns to be selected from storage. Works the same as
+L</select> but adds columns to the default selection, instead of specifying
+an explicit list.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 as
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: \@inflation_names
+
+=back
+
+Indicates column names for object inflation. That is L</as> indicates the
+slot name in which the column value will be stored within the
+L<Row|DBIx::Class::Row> object. The value will then be accessible via this
+identifier by the C<get_column> method (or via the object accessor B<if one
+with the same name already exists>) as shown below. The L</as> attribute has
+B<nothing to do> with the SQL-side C<AS>. See L</select> for details.
+
+ $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, {
+ select => [
+ 'name',
+ { count => 'employeeid' },
+ { max => { length => 'name' }, -as => 'longest_name' }
+ ],
+ as => [qw/
+ name
+ employee_count
+ max_name_length
+ /],
+ });
+
+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 $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 $employee_count = $employee->get_column('employee_count');
+
+You can create your own accessors if required - see
+L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook> for details.
+
+=head2 +as
+
+=over 4
+
+Indicates additional column names for those added via L</+select>. See L</as>.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 join
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names)
+
+=back
+
+Contains a list of relationships that should be joined for this query. For
+example:
+
+ # Get CDs by Nine Inch Nails
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
+ { 'artist.name' => 'Nine Inch Nails' },
+ { join => 'artist' }
+ );
+
+Can also contain a hash reference to refer to the other relation's relations.
+For example:
+
+ package MyApp::Schema::Track;
+ use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
+ __PACKAGE__->table('track');
+ __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/trackid cd position title/);
+ __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('trackid');
+ __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(cd => 'MyApp::Schema::CD');
+ 1;
+
+ # In your application
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
+ { 'track.title' => 'Teardrop' },
+ {
+ join => { cd => 'track' },
+ order_by => 'artist.name',
+ }
+ );
+
+You need to use the relationship (not the table) name in conditions,
+because they are aliased as such. The current table is aliased as "me", so
+you need to use me.column_name in order to avoid ambiguity. For example:
+
+ # Get CDs from 1984 with a 'Foo' track
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
+ {
+ 'me.year' => 1984,
+ 'tracks.name' => 'Foo'
+ },
+ { join => 'tracks' }
+ );
+
+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' => 'Down to Earth',
+ 'cds_2.title' => 'Popular',
+ }, {
+ join => [ qw/cds cds/ ],
+ });
+
+will return a set of all artists that have both a cd with title 'Down
+to Earth' and a cd with title 'Popular'.
+
+If you want to fetch related objects from other tables as well, see L</prefetch>
+below.
+
+ NOTE: An internal join-chain pruner will discard certain joins while
+ constructing the actual SQL query, as long as the joins in question do not
+ affect the retrieved result. This for example includes 1:1 left joins
+ that are not part of the restriction specification (WHERE/HAVING) nor are
+ a part of the query selection.
+
+For more help on using joins with search, see L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Joining>.
+
+=head2 collapse
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: (0 | 1)
+
+=back
+
+When set to a true value, indicates that any rows fetched from joined has_many
+relationships are to be aggregated into the corresponding "parent" object. For
+example, the resultset:
+
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({}, {
+ '+columns' => [ qw/ tracks.title tracks.position / ],
+ join => 'tracks',
+ collapse => 1,
+ });
+
+While executing the following query:
+
+ SELECT me.*, tracks.title, tracks.position
+ FROM cd me
+ LEFT JOIN track tracks
+ ON tracks.cdid = me.cdid
+
+Will return only as many objects as there are rows in the CD source, even
+though the result of the query may span many rows. Each of these CD objects
+will in turn have multiple "Track" objects hidden behind the has_many
+generated accessor C<tracks>. Without C<< collapse => 1 >>, the return values
+of this resultset would be as many CD objects as there are tracks (a "Cartesian
+product"), with each CD object containing exactly one of all fetched Track data.
+
+When a collapse is requested on a non-ordered resultset, an order by some
+unique part of the main source (the left-most table) is inserted automatically.
+This is done so that the resultset is allowed to be "lazy" - calling
+L<< $rs->next|/next >> will fetch only as many rows as it needs to build the next
+object with all of its related data.
+
+If an L</order_by> is already declared, and orders the resultset in a way that
+makes collapsing as described above impossible (e.g. C<< ORDER BY
+has_many_rel.column >> or C<ORDER BY RANDOM()>), DBIC will automatically
+switch to "eager" mode and slurp the entire resultset before constructing the
+first object returned by L</next>.
+
+Setting this attribute on a resultset that does not join any has_many
+relations is a no-op.
+
+For a more in-depth discussion, see L</PREFETCHING>.
+
+=head2 prefetch
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names)
+
+=back
+
+This attribute is a shorthand for specifying a L</join> spec, adding all
+columns from the joined related sources as L</+columns> and setting
+L</collapse> to a true value. For example, the following two queries are
+equivalent:
+
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({}, {
+ prefetch => { cds => ['genre', 'tracks' ] },
+ });
+
+and
+
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({}, {
+ join => { cds => ['genre', 'tracks' ] },
+ collapse => 1,
+ '+columns' => [
+ (map
+ { +{ "cds.$_" => "cds.$_" } }
+ $schema->source('Artist')->related_source('cds')->columns
+ ),
+ (map
+ { +{ "cds.genre.$_" => "genre.$_" } }
+ $schema->source('Artist')->related_source('cds')->related_source('genre')->columns
+ ),
+ (map
+ { +{ "cds.tracks.$_" => "tracks.$_" } }
+ $schema->source('Artist')->related_source('cds')->related_source('tracks')->columns
+ ),
+ ],
+ });
+
+Both producing the following SQL:
+
+ SELECT me.artistid, me.name, me.rank, me.charfield,
+ cds.cdid, cds.artist, cds.title, cds.year, cds.genreid, cds.single_track,
+ genre.genreid, genre.name,
+ tracks.trackid, tracks.cd, tracks.position, tracks.title, tracks.last_updated_on, tracks.last_updated_at
+ FROM artist me
+ LEFT JOIN cd cds
+ ON cds.artist = me.artistid
+ LEFT JOIN genre genre
+ ON genre.genreid = cds.genreid
+ LEFT JOIN track tracks
+ ON tracks.cd = cds.cdid
+ ORDER BY me.artistid
+
+While L</prefetch> implies a L</join>, it is ok to mix the two together, as
+the arguments are properly merged and generally do the right thing. For
+example, you may want to do the following:
+
+ my $artists_and_cds_without_genre = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
+ { 'genre.genreid' => undef },
+ {
+ join => { cds => 'genre' },
+ prefetch => 'cds',
+ }
+ );
+
+Which generates the following SQL:
+
+ SELECT me.artistid, me.name, me.rank, me.charfield,
+ cds.cdid, cds.artist, cds.title, cds.year, cds.genreid, cds.single_track
+ FROM artist me
+ LEFT JOIN cd cds
+ ON cds.artist = me.artistid
+ LEFT JOIN genre genre
+ ON genre.genreid = cds.genreid
+ WHERE genre.genreid IS NULL
+ ORDER BY me.artistid
+
+For a more in-depth discussion, see L</PREFETCHING>.
+
+=head2 alias
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: $source_alias
+
+=back
+
+Sets the source alias for the query. Normally, this defaults to C<me>, but
+nested search queries (sub-SELECTs) might need specific aliases set to
+reference inner queries. For example:
+
+ my $q = $rs
+ ->related_resultset('CDs')
+ ->related_resultset('Tracks')
+ ->search({
+ 'track.id' => { -ident => 'none_search.id' },
+ })
+ ->as_query;
+
+ my $ids = $self->search({
+ -not_exists => $q,
+ }, {
+ alias => 'none_search',
+ group_by => 'none_search.id',
+ })->get_column('id')->as_query;
+
+ $self->search({ id => { -in => $ids } })
+
+This attribute is directly tied to L</current_source_alias>.
+
+=head2 page
+
+=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.
+
+If L</rows> attribute is not specified it defaults to 10 rows per page.
+
+When you have a paged resultset, L</count> will only return the number
+of rows in the page. To get the total, use the L</pager> and call
+C<total_entries> on it.
+
+=head2 rows
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: $rows
+
+=back
+
+Specifies the maximum number of rows for direct retrieval or the number of
+rows per page if the page attribute or method is used.
+
+=head2 offset
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: $offset
+
+=back
+
+Specifies the (zero-based) row number for the first row to be returned, or the
+of the first row of the first page if paging is used.
+
+=head2 software_limit
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Value: (0 | 1)
+
+=back
+
+When combined with L</rows> and/or L</offset> the generated SQL will not
+include any limit dialect stanzas. Instead the entire result will be selected
+as if no limits were specified, and DBIC will perform the limit locally, by
+artificially advancing and finishing the resulting L</cursor>.
+
+This is the recommended way of performing resultset limiting when no sane RDBMS
+implementation is available (e.g.
+L<Sybase ASE|DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::ASE> using the
+L<Generic Sub Query|DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::LimitDialects/GenericSubQ> hack)
+
+=head2 group_by

+
+=head2 having

+
+=head2 distinct

+
+=item Value: (0 | 1)
+
+=back
+
+Set to 1 to automatically generate a L</group_by> clause based on the selection
+(including intelligent handling of L</order_by> contents). Note that the group
+criteria calculation takes place over the B<final> selection. This includes
+any L</+columns>, L</+select> or L</order_by> additions in subsequent
+L</search> calls, and standalone columns selected via
+L<DBIx::Class::ResultSetColumn> (L</get_column>). A notable exception are the
+extra selections specified via L</prefetch> - such selections are explicitly
+excluded from group criteria calculations.
+
+If the final ResultSet also explicitly defines a L</group_by> attribute, this
+setting is ignored and an appropriate warning is issued.
+
+=head2 where
+
+=over 4
+
+Adds to the WHERE clause.
+
+ # only return rows WHERE deleted IS NULL for all searches
+ __PACKAGE__->resultset_attributes({ where => { deleted => undef } });

+Can be overridden by passing C<< { where => undef } >> as an attribute
+to a resultset.
+
+For more complicated where clauses see L<SQL::Abstract/WHERE CLAUSES>.
+

+
+ while( my $artist = $resultset->next ) {

+query.
+
+=head1 PREFETCHING
+
+DBIx::Class supports arbitrary related data prefetching from multiple related
+sources. Any combination of relationship types and column sets are supported.
+If L<collapsing|/collapse> is requested, there is an additional requirement of
+selecting enough data to make every individual object uniquely identifiable.
+
+Here are some more involved examples, based on the following relationship map:
+
+ # Assuming:
+ My::Schema::CD->belongs_to( artist => 'My::Schema::Artist' );
+ My::Schema::CD->might_have( liner_note => 'My::Schema::LinerNotes' );
+ My::Schema::CD->has_many( tracks => 'My::Schema::Track' );
+
+ My::Schema::Artist->belongs_to( record_label => 'My::Schema::RecordLabel' );
+
+ My::Schema::Track->has_many( guests => 'My::Schema::Guest' );
+
+
+
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('Tag')->search(
+ undef,
+ {
+ prefetch => {
+ cd => 'artist'
+ }
+ }
+ );
+
+The initial search results in SQL like the following:
+
+ SELECT tag.*, cd.*, artist.* FROM tag
+ JOIN cd ON tag.cd = cd.cdid
+ JOIN artist ON cd.artist = artist.artistid
+
+L<DBIx::Class> has no need to go back to the database when we access the
+C<cd> or C<artist> relationships, which saves us two SQL statements in this
+case.
+
+Simple prefetches will be joined automatically, so there is no need
+for a C<join> attribute in the above search.
+
+The L</prefetch> attribute can be used with any of the relationship types
+and multiple prefetches can be specified together. Below is a more complex
+example that prefetches a CD's artist, its liner notes (if present),
+the cover image, the tracks on that CD, and the guests on those
+tracks.
+
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
+ undef,
+ {
+ prefetch => [
+ { artist => 'record_label'}, # belongs_to => belongs_to
+ 'liner_note', # might_have
+ 'cover_image', # has_one
+ { tracks => 'guests' }, # has_many => has_many
+ ]
+ }
+ );
+
+This will produce SQL like the following:
+
+ SELECT cd.*, artist.*, record_label.*, liner_note.*, cover_image.*,
+ tracks.*, guests.*
+ FROM cd me
+ JOIN artist artist
+ ON artist.artistid = me.artistid
+ JOIN record_label record_label
+ ON record_label.labelid = artist.labelid
+ LEFT JOIN track tracks
+ ON tracks.cdid = me.cdid
+ LEFT JOIN guest guests
+ ON guests.trackid = track.trackid
+ LEFT JOIN liner_notes liner_note
+ ON liner_note.cdid = me.cdid
+ JOIN cd_artwork cover_image
+ ON cover_image.cdid = me.cdid
+ ORDER BY tracks.cd
+
+Now the C<artist>, C<record_label>, C<liner_note>, C<cover_image>,
+C<tracks>, and C<guests> of the CD will all be available through the
+relationship accessors without the need for additional queries to the
+database.

+=head3 CAVEATS
+
+Prefetch does a lot of deep magic. As such, it may not behave exactly
+as you might expect.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+Prefetch uses the L</cache> to populate the prefetched relationships. This
+may or may not be what you want.
+
+=item *
+
+If you specify a condition on a prefetched relationship, ONLY those
+rows that match the prefetched condition will be fetched into that relationship.
+This means that adding prefetch to a search() B<may alter> what is returned by
+traversing a relationship. So, if you have C<< Artist->has_many(CDs) >> and you do
+
+ my $artist_rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({
+ 'cds.year' => 2008,
+ }, {
+ join => 'cds',
+ });
+
+ my $count = $artist_rs->first->cds->count;
+
+ my $artist_rs_prefetch = $artist_rs->search( {}, { prefetch => 'cds' } );
+
+ my $prefetch_count = $artist_rs_prefetch->first->cds->count;
+
+ cmp_ok( $count, '==', $prefetch_count, "Counts should be the same" );
+
+That cmp_ok() may or may not pass depending on the datasets involved. In other
+words the C<WHERE> condition would apply to the entire dataset, just like
+it would in regular SQL. If you want to add a condition only to the "right side"
+of a C<LEFT JOIN> - consider declaring and using a L<relationship with a custom
+condition|DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base/condition>

+=head1 DBIC BIND VALUES
+
+Because DBIC may need more information to bind values than just the column name
+and value itself, it uses a special format for both passing and receiving bind
+values. Each bind value should be composed of an arrayref of
+C<< [ \%args => $val ] >>. The format of C<< \%args >> is currently:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item dbd_attrs
+
+If present (in any form), this is what is being passed directly to bind_param.
+Note that different DBD's expect different bind args. (e.g. DBD::SQLite takes
+a single numerical type, while DBD::Pg takes a hashref if bind options.)
+
+If this is specified, all other bind options described below are ignored.
+
+=item sqlt_datatype
+
+If present, this is used to infer the actual bind attribute by passing to
+C<< $resolved_storage->bind_attribute_by_data_type() >>. Defaults to the
+"data_type" from the L<add_columns column info|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_columns>.
+
+Note that the data type is somewhat freeform (hence the sqlt_ prefix);
+currently drivers are expected to "Do the Right Thing" when given a common
+datatype name. (Not ideal, but that's what we got at this point.)
+
+=item sqlt_size
+
+Currently used to correctly allocate buffers for bind_param_inout().
+Defaults to "size" from the L<add_columns column info|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_columns>,
+or to a sensible value based on the "data_type".
+
+=item dbic_colname
+
+Used to fill in missing sqlt_datatype and sqlt_size attributes (if they are
+explicitly specified they are never overridden). Also used by some weird DBDs,
+where the column name should be available at bind_param time (e.g. Oracle).
+
+=back
+
+For backwards compatibility and convenience, the following shortcuts are
+supported:
+
+ [ $name => $val ] === [ { dbic_colname => $name }, $val ]
+ [ \$dt => $val ] === [ { sqlt_datatype => $dt }, $val ]
+ [ undef, $val ] === [ {}, $val ]
+ $val === [ {}, $val ]
