self-joins, distinct, group bys and more.

=head1 QUICKSTART
If you're using Class::DBI, replacing
-use base qw/Class::DBI/;
+ use base qw/Class::DBI/;
with
-use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
-__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/CDBICompat Core DB/);
+ use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
+ __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/CDBICompat Core DB/);
will probably get you started.
If you're using AUTO_INCREMENT for your primary columns, you'll also want
yo load the approriate PK::Auto subclass - e.g.
-__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/CDBICompat PK::Auto::SQLite Core DB/);
+ __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/CDBICompat PK::Auto::SQLite Core DB/);
(with is what ::Test::SQLite does to present the Class::DBI::Test::SQLite
interface)
If you fancy playing around with DBIx::Class from scratch, then read the docs
for ::Table and ::Relationship,
-use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
-__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core DB/);
+ use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
+ __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core DB/);
and have a look at t/lib/DBICTest.pm for a brief example.
