25 retrieved, most usually a table (see L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource::Table>)

161
162 Returns an expression of the source to be supplied to storage to specify
163 retrieval from this source; in the case of a database the required FROM clause
164 contents.

175
176 =head2 add_relationship
177
178   $source->add_relationship('relname', 'related_source', $cond, $attrs);
179
180 The relation name can be arbitrary, but must be unique for each relationship
181 attached to this result source. 'related_source' should be the name with
182 which the related result source was registered with the current schema
183 (for simple schemas this is usally either Some::Namespace::Foo or just Foo)
184
185 The condition needs to be an SQL::Abstract-style representation of the join
186 between the tables. For example, if you're creating a rel from Foo to Bar,
187
188   { 'foreign.foo_id' => 'self.id' }                                             
189                                                                                 
190 will result in the JOIN clause                                                  
191                                                                                 
192   foo me JOIN bar bar ON bar.foo_id = me.id                                     
193                                                                                 
194 You can specify as many foreign => self mappings as necessary.
195
196 Valid attributes are as follows:                                                
197                                                                                 
198 =over 4

200 =item join_type                                                                 
201                                                                                 
202 Explicitly specifies the type of join to use in the relationship. Any SQL       
203 join type is valid, e.g. C<LEFT> or C<RIGHT>. It will be placed in the SQL      
204 command immediately before C<JOIN>.                                             
205                                                                                 
206 =item proxy                                                                     
207                                                                                 
208 An arrayref containing a list of accessors in the foreign class to proxy in     
209 the main class. If, for example, you do the following:                          
210                                                                                 
211   __PACKAGE__->might_have(bar => 'Bar', undef, { proxy => qw[/ margle /] });    
212                                                                                 
213 Then, assuming Bar has an accessor named margle, you can do:                    
214                                                                                 
215   my $obj = Foo->find(1);                                                       
216   $obj->margle(10); # set margle; Bar object is created if it doesn't exist     
217                                                                                 
218 =item accessor                                                                  
219                                                                                 
220 Specifies the type of accessor that should be created for the relationship.     
221 Valid values are C<single> (for when there is only a single related object),    
222 C<multi> (when there can be many), and C<filter> (for when there is a single    
223 related object, but you also want the relationship accessor to double as        
224 a column accessor). For C<multi> accessors, an add_to_* method is also          
225 created, which calls C<create_related> for the relationship.
