=head1 NAME

DBIx::Class::ResultSet - Responsible for fetching and creating resultset.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  my $rs   = $schema->resultset('User')->search(registered => 1);
  my @rows = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(year => 2005);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The resultset is also known as an iterator. It is responsible for handling
queries that may return an arbitrary number of rows, e.g. via L</search>
or a C<has_many> relationship.

In the examples below, the following table classes are used:

  package MyApp::Schema::Artist;
  use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
  __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/);
  __PACKAGE__->table('artist');
  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/artistid name/);
  __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('artistid');
  __PACKAGE__->has_many(cds => 'MyApp::Schema::CD');
  1;

  package MyApp::Schema::CD;
  use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
  __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/);
  __PACKAGE__->table('cd');
  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/cdid artist title year/);
  __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('cdid');
  __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(artist => 'MyApp::Schema::Artist');
  1;

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

=over 4

=item Arguments: ($source, \%$attrs)

=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 won't need to construct a resultset manually.  You'll
automatically get one from e.g. a L</search> called in scalar context:

  my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({ title => '100th Window' });

    {
      artist => 'Massive Attack',
      title  => 'Mezzanine',

=head2 result_source

Returns a reference to the result source for this recordset.

=head2 count

Performs an SQL C<COUNT> with the same query as the resultset was built
with to find the number of elements. If passed arguments, does a search
on the resultset and counts the results of that.

Note: When using C<count> with C<group_by>, L<DBIX::Class> emulates C<GROUP BY>
using C<COUNT( DISTINCT( columns ) )>. Some databases (notably SQLite) do
not support C<DISTINCT> with multiple columns. If you are using such a
database, you should only use columns from the main table in your C<group_by>
clause.

=head2 find_or_create

=over 4

=item Arguments: (\%vals, \%attrs?)

=back

  $class->find_or_create({ key => $val, ... });

Searches for a record matching the search condition; if it doesn't find one,
creates one and returns that instead.

  my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->find_or_create({
    cdid   => 5,
    artist => 'Massive Attack',
    title  => 'Mezzanine',
    year   => 2005,
  });

Also takes an optional C<key> attribute, to search by a specific key or unique
constraint. For example:

  my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->find_or_create(
    {
      artist => 'Massive Attack',
      title  => 'Mezzanine',
    },
    { key => 'artist_title' }

  return defined $exists ? $exists : $self->create($hash);
}

=head2 update_or_create

  $class->update_or_create({ key => $val, ... });

First, search for an existing row matching one of the unique constraints
(including the primary key) on the source of this resultset.  If a row is
found, update it with the other given column values.  Otherwise, create a new
row.

Takes an optional C<key> attribute to search on a specific unique constraint.
For example:

  # In your application
  my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->update_or_create(
    {
      artist => 'Massive Attack',
      title  => 'Mezzanine',
      year   => 1998,
    },
    { key => 'artist_title' }
  );

If no C<key> is specified, it searches on all unique constraints defined on the
source, including the primary key.

If the C<key> is specified as C<primary>, search only on the primary key.

=head1 ATTRIBUTES

XXX: FIXME: Attributes docs need clearing up

The resultset takes various attributes that modify its behavior. Here's an
overview of them:

=head2 order_by

Which column(s) to order the results by. This is currently passed
through directly to SQL, so you can give e.g. C<year DESC> for a
descending order on the column `year'.

=head2 columns

=over 4

=item Arguments: (\@columns)

=back

Shortcut to request a particular set of columns to be retrieved.  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.)

=head2 include_columns

=over 4

=item Arguments: (\@columns)

=back

Shortcut to include additional columns in the returned results - for example

  $schema->resultset('CD')->search(undef, {
    include_columns => ['artist.name'],
    join => ['artist']
  });

would return all CDs and include a 'name' column to the information
passed to object inflation

=head2 select

=over 4

=item Arguments: (\@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' },
      { sum => 'salary' }
    ]
  });

When you use function/stored procedure names and do not supply an C<as>
attribute, the column names returned are storage-dependent. E.g. MySQL would
return a column named C<count(employeeid)> in the above example.

=head2 as

=over 4

=item Arguments: (\@names)

=back

Indicates column names for object inflation. This is used in conjunction with
C<select>, usually when C<select> contains one or more function or stored
procedure names:

  $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, {
    select => [
      'name',
      { count => 'employeeid' }
    ],
    as => ['name', 'employee_count'],
  });

  my $employee = $rs->first(); # get the first Employee

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 join

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',
    }
  );

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 C<prefetch>
below.

=head2 prefetch

=over 4

=item Arguments: (\@relationships)

=back

Contains one or more relationships that should be fetched along with the main 
query (when they are accessed afterwards they will have already been
"prefetched").  This is useful for when you know you will need the related
objects, because it saves at least one query:

  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. If you're prefetching to
depth (e.g. { cd => { artist => 'label' } or similar), you'll need to
specify the join as well.

C<prefetch> can be used with the following relationship types: C<belongs_to>,
C<has_one> (or if you're using C<add_relationship>, any relationship declared
with an accessor type of 'single' or 'filter').

=head2 from

=over 4

=item Arguments: (\@array)

=back

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>.

In simple terms, C<from> works as follows:

    [
        { <alias> => <table>, -join-type => 'inner|left|right' }
        [] # nested JOIN (optional)
        { <table.column> = <foreign_table.foreign_key> }
    ]

    JOIN
        <alias> <table>
        [JOIN ...]
    ON <table.column> = <foreign_table.foreign_key>

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

=head2 page

=over 4

=item Arguments: ($page)

=back

For a paged resultset, specifies which page to retrieve.  Leave unset
for an unpaged resultset.

=head2 rows

=over 4

=item Arguments: ($rows)

=back

For a paged resultset, specifies how many rows are in each page:

  rows => 10

Can also be used to simulate an SQL C<LIMIT>.

=head2 group_by

=over 4

=item Arguments: (\@columns)

=back

A arrayref of columns to group by. Can include columns of joined tables.

  group_by => [qw/ column1 column2 ... /]

=head2 distinct

Set to 1 to group by all columns.

=head2 cache

Set to 1 to cache search results. This prevents extra SQL queries if you
revisit rows in your ResultSet:

  my $resultset = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search( undef, { cache => 1 } );
  
  while( my $artist = $resultset->next ) {
    ... do stuff ...
  }

  $rs->first; # without cache, this would issue a query 

By default, searches are not cached.

L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook>.
