=head1 NAME

DBIx::Class::Row - Basic row methods

=head1 SYNOPSIS

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is responsible for defining and doing basic operations on rows
derived from L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource> objects.

Result objects are returned from L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet>s using the
L<create|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/create>, L<find|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/find>,
L<next|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/next> and L<all|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/all> methods,
as well as invocations of 'single' (
L<belongs_to|DBIx::Class::Relationship/belongs_to>,
L<has_one|DBIx::Class::Relationship/has_one> or
L<might_have|DBIx::Class::Relationship/might_have>)
relationship accessors of L<Result|DBIx::Class::Manual::ResultClass> objects.

=head1 NOTE

All "Row objects" derived from a Schema-attached L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet>
object (such as a typical C<< L<search|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/search
>->L<next|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/next> >> call) are actually Result
instances, based on your application's
L<Result class|DBIx::Class::Manual::Glossary/Result_class>.

L<DBIx::Class::Row> implements most of the row-based communication with the
underlying storage, but a Result class B<should not inherit from it directly>.
Usually, Result classes inherit from L<DBIx::Class::Core>, which in turn
combines the methods from several classes, one of them being
L<DBIx::Class::Row>.  Therefore, while many of the methods available to a
L<DBIx::Class::Core>-derived Result class are described in the following
documentation, it does not detail all of the methods available to Result
objects.  Refer to L<DBIx::Class::Manual::ResultClass> for more info.

=head1 METHODS

=back

While you can create a new result object by calling C<new> directly on
this class, you are better off calling it on a
L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet> object.

When calling it directly, you will not get a complete, usable row
object until you pass or set the C<result_source> attribute, to a
L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource> instance that is attached to a
L<DBIx::Class::Schema> with a valid connection.

C<$attrs> is a hashref of column name, value data. It can also contain
some other attributes such as the C<result_source>.

Passing an object, or an arrayref of objects as a value will call
L<DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base/set_from_related> for you. When
passed a hashref or an arrayref of hashrefs as the value, these will
be turned into objects via new_related, and treated as if you had
passed objects.

For a more involved explanation, see L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/create>.

Please note that if a value is not passed to new, no value will be sent
in the SQL INSERT call, and the column will therefore assume whatever
default value was specified in your database. While DBIC will retrieve the
value of autoincrement columns, it will never make an explicit database
trip to retrieve default values assigned by the RDBMS. You can explicitly
request that all values be fetched back from the database by calling
L</discard_changes>, or you can supply an explicit C<undef> to columns
with NULL as the default, and save yourself a SELECT.

 CAVEAT:

 The behavior described above will backfire if you use a foreign key column
 with a database-defined default. If you call the relationship accessor on
 an object that doesn't have a set value for the FK column, DBIC will throw
 an exception, as it has no way of knowing the PK of the related object (if
 there is one).

=cut

## It needs to store the new objects somewhere, and call insert on that list later when insert is called on this object. We may need an accessor for these so the user can retrieve them, if just doing ->new().
## This only works because DBIC doesnt yet care to check whether the new_related objects have been passed all their mandatory columns
## When doing the later insert, we need to make sure the PKs are set.
## using _relationship_data in new and funky ways..
## check Relationship::CascadeActions and Relationship::Accessor for compat
## tests!

Indicates whether the object exists as a row in the database or

=item Arguments: none or a hashref

=item Return Value: L<$result|DBIx::Class::Manual::ResultClass>

=back

Throws an exception if the result object is not yet in the database,
according to L</in_storage>.

This method issues an SQL UPDATE query to commit any changes to the
object to the database if required (see L</get_dirty_columns>).
It throws an exception if a proper WHERE clause uniquely identifying
the database row can not be constructed (see
L<significance of primary keys|DBIx::Class::Manual::Intro/The Significance and Importance of Primary Keys>
for more details).

Also takes an optional hashref of C<< column_name => value >> pairs
to update on the object first. Be aware that the hashref will be
passed to C<set_inflated_columns>, which might edit it in place, so
don't rely on it being the same after a call to C<update>.  If you
need to preserve the hashref, it is sufficient to pass a shallow copy
to C<update>, e.g. ( { %{ $href } } )

If the values passed or any of the column values set on the object
contain scalar references, e.g.:

  $row->last_modified(\'NOW()')->update();
  # OR
  $row->update({ last_modified => \'NOW()' });

The update will pass the values verbatim into SQL. (See
L<SQL::Abstract> docs).  The values in your Result object will NOT change
as a result of the update call, if you want the object to be updated
with the actual values from the database, call L</discard_changes>
after the update.

  $row->update()->discard_changes();

To determine before calling this method, which column values have
changed and will be updated, call L</get_dirty_columns>.

To check if any columns will be updated, call L</is_changed>.

To force a column to be updated, call L</make_column_dirty> before
this method.

=over

uniquely identifying the database row can not be constructed (see
L<significance of primary keys|DBIx::Class::Manual::Intro/The Significance and Importance of Primary Keys>
for more details).

The object is still perfectly usable, but L</in_storage> will
now return 0 and the object must be reinserted using L</insert>
before it can be used to L</update> the row again.

If you delete an object in a class with a C<has_many> relationship, an
attempt is made to delete all the related objects as well. To turn
this behaviour off, pass C<< cascade_delete => 0 >> in the C<$attr>
hashref of the relationship, see L<DBIx::Class::Relationship>. Any
database-level cascade or restrict will take precedence over a
DBIx-Class-based cascading delete, since DBIx-Class B<deletes the
main row first> and only then attempts to delete any remaining related
rows.

If you delete an object within a txn_do() (see L<DBIx::Class::Storage/txn_do>)
and the transaction subsequently fails, the result object will remain marked as
not being in storage. If you know for a fact that the object is still in
storage (i.e. by inspecting the cause of the transaction's failure), you can
use C<< $obj->in_storage(1) >> to restore consistency between the object and
the database. This would allow a subsequent C<< $obj->delete >> to work
as expected.

Throws an exception if the column name given doesn't exist according
to L<has_column|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/has_column>.

Returns a raw column value from the result object, if it has already
been fetched from the database or set by an accessor.

If an L<inflated value|DBIx::Class::InflateColumn> has been set, it
will be deflated and returned.

Note that if you used the C<columns> or the C<select/as>
L<search attributes|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/ATTRIBUTES> on the resultset from
which C<$row> was derived, and B<did not include> C<$columnname> in the list,
this method will return C<undef> even if the database contains some value.

Sets more than one column value at once. Any inflated values are
deflated and the raw values stored.

Any related values passed as Result objects, using the relation name as a
key, are reduced to the appropriate foreign key values and stored. If
instead of related result objects, a hashref of column, value data is
passed, will create the related object first then store.

Will even accept arrayrefs of data as a value to a
L<DBIx::Class::Relationship/has_many> key, and create the related
objects if necessary.

Be aware that the input hashref might be edited in place, so don't rely
on it being the same after a call to C<set_inflated_columns>. If you
need to preserve the hashref, it is sufficient to pass a shallow copy
to C<set_inflated_columns>, e.g. ( { %{ $href } } )

so that the database can insert its own autoincremented values into
the new object.
