=head1 NAME
- DBIx::Class::InflateColumn - Automatically create objects from column data
+ DBIx::Class::InflateColumn - Automatically create references from column data
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=head1 DESCRIPTION
- This component translates column data into objects, i.e. "inflating"
- the column data. It also "deflates" objects into an appropriate format
+ This component translates column data into references, i.e. "inflating"
+ the column data. It also "deflates" references into an appropriate format
for the database.
It can be used, for example, to automatically convert to and from
L<DateTime> objects for your date and time fields.
+ It will accept arrayrefs, hashrefs and blessed references (objects),
+ but not scalarrefs. Scalar references are passed through to the
+ database to deal with, to allow such settings as C< \'year + 1'> and
+ C< \'DEFAULT' > to work.

-=head2 get_column
-
-Gets a column value in the same way as L<DBIx::Class::Row/get_column>. If there
-is an inflated value stored that has not yet been deflated, it is deflated
-when the method is invoked.

-
-Returns the get_column info for all columns as a hash,
