# Equivalent SQL:
- # SELECT name name, LENGTH( name ) name_length
+ # SELECT name name, LENGTH( name )
# FROM artist
-If your alias exists as a column in your base class (i.e. it was added
-with C<add_columns>), you just access it as normal. Our C<Artist>
-class has a C<name> column, so we just use the C<name> accessor:
+Note that the C< as > attribute has absolutely nothing to with the sql
+syntax C< SELECT foo AS bar > (see the documentation in
+L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/ATTRIBUTES>). If your alias exists as a
+column in your base class (i.e. it was added with C<add_columns>), you
+just access it as normal. Our C<Artist> class has a C<name> column, so
+we just use the C<name> accessor:
my $artist = $rs->first();
my $name = $artist->name();
select => [
{ distinct => [ $source->columns ] }
],
- as => [ $source->columns ]
+ as => [ $source->columns ] # remember 'as' is not the same as SQL AS :-)
}
);
# LEFT JOIN cd cds ON ( cds.artist = me.artistid )
# GROUP BY name
+Please see L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/ATTRIBUTES> documentation if you
+are in any way unsure about the use of the attributes above (C< join
+>, C< select >, C< as > and C< group_by >).
