=head1 NAME 

DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base - Inter-table relationships

=head1 SYNOPSIS

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class handles relationships between the tables in your database
model. It allows your to set up relationships, and to perform joins
on searches.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 add_relationship

  __PACKAGE__->add_relationship('relname', 'Foreign::Class', $cond, $attrs);

The condition needs to be an SQL::Abstract-style representation of the
join between the tables. For example, if you're creating a rel from Foo to Bar,

  { 'foreign.foo_id' => 'self.id' }

will result in the JOIN clause

  foo me JOIN bar bar ON bar.foo_id = me.id

You can specify as many foreign => self mappings as necessary.

Valid attributes are as follows:

=over 4

=item join_type

Explicitly specifies the type of join to use in the relationship. Any SQL
join type is valid, e.g. C<LEFT> or C<RIGHT>. It will be placed in the SQL
command immediately before C<JOIN>.

=item proxy

An arrayref containing a list of accessors in the foreign class to proxy in
the main class. If, for example, you do the following:
  
  __PACKAGE__->might_have(bar => 'Bar', undef, { proxy => [ qw/margle/ ] });
  
Then, assuming Bar has an accessor named margle, you can do:

  my $obj = Foo->find(1);
  $obj->margle(10); # set margle; Bar object is created if it doesn't exist
  
=item accessor

Specifies the type of accessor that should be created for the relationship.
Valid values are C<single> (for when there is only a single related object),
C<multi> (when there can be many), and C<filter> (for when there is a single
related object, but you also want the relationship accessor to double as
a column accessor). For C<multi> accessors, an add_to_* method is also
created, which calls C<create_related> for the relationship.
