-DBIx::Class::InflateColumn - Automatically create objects from column data
+DBIx::Class::InflateColumn - Automatically create references from column data
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-This component translates column data into objects, i.e. "inflating"
-the column data. It also "deflates" objects into an appropriate format
+This component translates column data into references, i.e. "inflating"
+the column data. It also "deflates" references into an appropriate format
for the database.
It can be used, for example, to automatically convert to and from
-L<DateTime> objects for your date and time fields.
+L<DateTime> objects for your date and time fields. There's a
+convenience component to actually do that though, try
+L<DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime>.
+
+It will handle all types of references except scalar references. It
+will not handle scalar values, these are ignored and thus passed
+through to L<SQL::Abstract>. This is to allow setting raw values to
+"just work". Scalar references are passed through to the database to
+deal with, to allow such settings as C< \'year + 1'> and C< \'DEFAULT' >
+to work.
+
+If you want to filter plain scalar values and replace them with
+something else, see L<DBIx::Class::FilterColumn>.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 inflate_column
-Instruct L<DBIx::Class> to inflate the given column.
+Instruct L<DBIx::Class> to inflate the given column.
In addition to the column name, you must provide C<inflate> and
C<deflate> methods. The C<inflate> method is called when you access
(Replace L<DateTime::Format::Pg> with the appropriate module for your
database, or consider L<DateTime::Format::DBI>.)
+The coderefs you set for inflate and deflate are called with two parameters,
+the first is the value of the column to be inflated/deflated, the second is the
+row object itself. Thus you can call C<< ->result_source->schema->storage->dbh >> in your inflate/defalte subs, to feed to L<DateTime::Format::DBI>.
+
In this example, calls to an event's C<insert_time> accessor return a
L<DateTime> object. This L<DateTime> object is later "deflated" when
used in the database layer.
