+=head1 NAME
+
+DBIx::Class::Relationship - Inter-table relationships
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ ## Creating relationships
+ MyDB::Schema::Actor->has_many('actorroles' => 'MyDB::Schema::ActorRole',
+ 'actor');
+ MyDB::Schema::Role->has_many('actorroles' => 'MyDB::Schema::ActorRole',
+ 'role');
+ MyDB::Schema::ActorRole->belongs_to('role' => 'MyDB::Schema::Role');
+ MyDB::Schema::ActorRole->belongs_to('actor' => 'MyDB::Schema::Actor');
+
+ MyDB::Schema::Role->many_to_many('actors' => 'actorroles', 'actor');
+ MyDB::Schema::Actor->many_to_many('roles' => 'actorroles', 'role');
+
+ ## Using relationships
+ $schema->resultset('Actor')->find({ id => 1})->roles();
+ $schema->resultset('Role')->find({ id => 1 })->actorroles->search_related('actor', { Name => 'Fred' });
+ $schema->resultset('Actor')->add_to_roles({ Name => 'Sherlock Holmes'});
+
+See L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook> for more.
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The word I<Relationship> has a specific meaning in DBIx::Class, see
+the definition in the L<Glossary|DBIx::Class::Manual::Glossary/Relationship>.
+
+This class provides methods to set up relationships between the tables
+in your database model. Relationships are the most useful and powerful
+technique that L<DBIx::Class> provides. To create efficient database queries,
+create relationships between any and all tables that have something in
+common, for example if you have a table Authors:
+
+ ID | Name | Age
+ ------------------
+ 1 | Fred | 30
+ 2 | Joe | 32
+
+and a table Books:
+
+ ID | Author | Name
+ --------------------
+ 1 | 1 | Rulers of the universe
+ 2 | 1 | Rulers of the galaxy
+
+Then without relationships, the method of getting all books by Fred goes like
+this:
+
+ my $fred = $schema->resultset('Author')->find({ Name => 'Fred' });
+ my $fredsbooks = $schema->resultset('Book')->search({ Author => $fred->ID });
+
+With a has_many relationship called "books" on Author (see below for details),
+we can do this instead:
+
+ my $fredsbooks = $schema->resultset('Author')->find({ Name => 'Fred' })->books;
+
+Each relationship sets up an accessor method on the
+L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Glossary/"Row"> objects that represent the items
+of your table. From L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Glossary/"ResultSet"> objects,
+the relationships can be searched using the "search_related" method.
+In list context, each returns a list of Row objects for the related class,
+in scalar context, a new ResultSet representing the joined tables is
+returned. Thus, the calls can be chained to produce complex queries.
+Since the database is not actually queried until you attempt to retrieve
+the data for an actual item, no time is wasted producing them.
+
+ my $cheapfredbooks = $schema->resultset('Author')->find({
+ Name => 'Fred',
+ })->books->search_related('prices', {
+ Price => { '<=' => '5.00' },
+ });
+
+will produce a query something like:
+
+ SELECT * FROM Author me
+ LEFT JOIN Books books ON books.author = me.id
+ LEFT JOIN Prices prices ON prices.book = books.id
+ WHERE prices.Price <= 5.00
+
+all without needing multiple fetches.
+
+Only the helper methods for setting up standard relationship types
+are documented here. For the basic, lower-level methods, and a description
+of all the useful *_related methods that you get for free, see
+L<DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base>.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+All helper methods are called similar to the following template:
+
+ __PACKAGE__->$method_name('relname', 'Foreign::Class', \%cond | \@cond, \%attrs);
+
+Both C<$cond> and C<$attrs> are optional. Pass C<undef> for C<$cond> if
+you want to use the default value for it, but still want to set C<\%attrs>.
+
+See L<DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base> for documentation on the
+attributes that are allowed in the C<\%attrs> argument.
+
+
+=head2 belongs_to
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Arguments: $accessor_name, $related_class, $our_fk_column|\%cond|\@cond?, \%attrs?
+
+=back
+
+Creates a relationship where the calling class stores the foreign
+class's primary key in one (or more) of the calling class columns.
+This relationship defaults to using C<$accessor_name> as the column
+name in this class to resolve the join against the primary key from
+C<$related_class>, unless C<$our_fk_column> specifies the foreign key column
+in this class or C<cond> specifies a reference to a join condition hash.
+
+=over
+
+=item accessor_name
+
+This argument is the name of the method you can call on a
+L<DBIx::Class::Row> object to retrieve the instance of the foreign
+class matching this relationship. This is often called the
+C<relation(ship) name>.
+
+Use this accessor_name in L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/join>
+or L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/prefetch> to join to the foreign table
+indicated by this relationship.
+
+=item related_class
+
+This is the class name of the table referenced by the foreign key in
+this class.
+
+=item our_fk_column
+
+The column name on this class that contains the foreign key.
+
+OR
+
+=item cond
+
+A hashref where the keys are C<foreign.$column_on_related_table> and
+the values are C<self.$our_fk_column>. This is useful for
+relations that are across multiple columns.
+
+=back
+
+
+ # in a Book class (where Author has many Books)
+ My::DBIC::Schema::Book->belongs_to(
+ author =>
+ 'My::DBIC::Schema::Author',
+ 'author_id'
+ );
+
+ # OR (same result)
+ My::DBIC::Schema::Book->belongs_to(
+ author =>
+ 'My::DBIC::Schema::Author',
+ { 'foreign.author_id' => 'self.author_id' }
+ );
+
+ # OR (similar result but uglier accessor name)
+ My::DBIC::Schema::Book->belongs_to(
+ author_id =>
+ 'My::DBIC::Schema::Author'
+ );
+
+ # Usage
+ my $author_obj = $book->author; # get author object
+ $book->author( $new_author_obj ); # set author object
+ $book->author_id(); # get the plain id
+
+ # To retrieve the plain id if you used the ugly version:
+ $book->get_column('author_id');
+
+
+If the relationship is optional -- i.e. the column containing the foreign key
+can be NULL -- then the belongs_to relationship does the right thing. Thus, in
+the example above C<$obj-E<gt>author> would return C<undef>. However in this
+case you would probably want to set the C<join_type> attribute so that a C<LEFT
+JOIN> is done, which makes complex resultsets involving C<join> or C<prefetch>
+operations work correctly. The modified declaration is shown below:
+
+ # in a Book class (where Author has_many Books)
+ __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(
+ author =>
+ 'My::DBIC::Schema::Author',
+ 'author',
+ { join_type => 'left' }
+ );
+
+
+Cascading deletes are off by default on a C<belongs_to>
+relationship. To turn them on, pass C<< cascade_delete => 1 >>
+in the $attr hashref.
+
+By default, DBIC will return undef and avoid querying the database if a
+C<belongs_to> accessor is called when any part of the foreign key IS NULL. To
+disable this behavior, pass C<< undef_on_null_fk => 0 >> in the C<$attr>
+hashref.
+
+NOTE: If you are used to L<Class::DBI> relationships, this is the equivalent
+of C<has_a>.
+
+See L<DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base> for documentation on relationship
+methods and valid relationship attributes. Also see L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet>
+for a L<list of standard resultset attributes|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/ATTRIBUTES>
+which can be assigned to relationships as well.

+
+=over 4
+
+=item Arguments: $accessor_name, $related_class, $their_fk_column|\%cond|\@cond?, \%attrs?
+
+=back
+
+Creates a one-to-many relationship where the foreign class refers to
+this class's primary key. This relationship refers to zero or more
+records in the foreign table (e.g. a C<LEFT JOIN>). This relationship
+defaults to using the end of this classes namespace as the foreign key
+in C<$related_class> to resolve the join, unless C<$their_fk_column>
+specifies the foreign key column in C<$related_class> or C<cond>
+specifies a reference to a join condition hash.
+

+
+=item accessor_name
+
+This argument is the name of the method you can call on a
+L<DBIx::Class::Row> object to retrieve a resultset of the related
+class restricted to the ones related to the row object. In list
+context it returns the row objects. This is often called the
+C<relation(ship) name>.
+
+Use this accessor_name in L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/join>
+or L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/prefetch> to join to the foreign table
+indicated by this relationship.
+
+=item related_class
+

+column containing PK values of this class.
+
+=item their_fk_column

+
+OR
+
+=item cond
+
+A hashref where the keys are C<foreign.$their_fk_column> and
+the values are C<self.$matching_column>. This is useful for
+relations that are across multiple columns.
+
+OR
+
+An arrayref containing an SQL::Abstract-like condition. For example a
+link table where two columns link back to the same table. This is an
+OR condition.

+ 'author_id'
+ );
+
+ # OR (same result)
+ My::DBIC::Schema::Author->has_many(

+ 'My::DBIC::Schema::Book',
+ { 'foreign.author_id' => 'self.id' },
+ );
+

+ # (the "author" is guessed at from "Author" in the class namespace)
+ My::DBIC::Schema::Author->has_many(
+ books =>

+ );
+
+
+ # Usage
+ # resultset of Books belonging to author
+ my $booklist = $author->books;
+
+ # resultset of Books belonging to author, restricted by author name
+ my $booklist = $author->books({
+ name => { LIKE => '%macaroni%' },
+ { prefetch => [qw/book/],
+ });

+ my $books_rs = $author->books;
+ ( $books_rs ) = $obj->books_rs;
+
+ # create a new book for this author, the relation fields are auto-filled
+ $author->create_related('books', \%col_data);
+ # alternative method for the above
+ $author->add_to_books(\%col_data);
+
+
+Three methods are created when you create a has_many relationship. The first
+method is the expected accessor method, C<$accessor_name()>. The second is
+almost exactly the same as the accessor method but "_rs" is added to the end of
+the method name. This method works just like the normal accessor, except that
+it always returns a resultset, even in list context. The third method,
+named C<< add_to_$relname >>, will also be added to your Row items; this
+allows you to insert new related items, using the same mechanism as in
+L<DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base/"create_related">.
+
+If you delete an object in a class with a C<has_many> relationship, all
+the related objects will be deleted as well. To turn this behaviour off,
+pass C<< cascade_delete => 0 >> in the C<$attr> hashref.
+
+The cascaded operations are performed after the requested delete or
+update, so if your database has a constraint on the relationship, it
+will have deleted/updated the related records or raised an exception
+before DBIx::Class gets to perform the cascaded operation.
+
+If you copy an object in a class with a C<has_many> relationship, all
+the related objects will be copied as well. To turn this behaviour off,
+pass C<< cascade_copy => 0 >> in the C<$attr> hashref. The behaviour
+defaults to C<< cascade_copy => 1 >>.
+
+See L<DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base> for documentation on relationship
+methods and valid relationship attributes. Also see L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet>
+for a L<list of standard resultset attributes|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/ATTRIBUTES>
+which can be assigned to relationships as well.

+Creates a one-to-one relationship with another class. This is just
+like C<might_have>, except the implication is that the other object is
+always present. The only difference between C<has_one> and
+C<might_have> is that C<has_one> uses an (ordinary) inner join,
+whereas C<might_have> defaults to a left join.
+
+The has_one relationship should be used when a row in the table has exactly one
+related row in another table. If the related row might not exist in the foreign
+table, use the L<DBIx::Class::Relationship/might_have> relationship.
+
+In the above example, each Book in the database is associated with exactly one
+ISBN object.

+
+C<many_to_many> is not strictly a relationship in its own right. Instead, it is
+a bridge between two resultsets which provide the same kind of convenience
+accessors as true relationships provide. Although the accessor will return a
+resultset or collection of objects just like has_many does, you cannot call
+C<related_resultset> and similar methods which operate on true relationships.
+

+=item accessor_name
+
+This argument is the name of the method you can call on a
+L<DBIx::Class::Row> object to retrieve the rows matching this
+relationship.
+
+On a many_to_many, unlike other relationships, this cannot be used in
+L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/search> to join tables. Use the relations
+bridged across instead.
+
+=item link_rel_name
+
+This is the accessor_name from the has_many relationship we are
+bridging from.
+
+=item foreign_rel_name
+
+This is the accessor_name of the belongs_to relationship in the link
+table that we are bridging across (which gives us the table we are
+bridging to).

+
+To add a role for your actor, and fill in the year of the role in the
+actor_roles table:
+
+ $actor->add_to_roles($role, { year => 1995 });
+
+In the above example, ActorRoles is the link table class, and Role is the
+foreign class. The C<$link_rel_name> parameter is the name of the accessor for
+the has_many relationship from this table to the link table, and the
+C<$foreign_rel_name> parameter is the accessor for the belongs_to relationship
+from the link table to the foreign table.
+
+To use many_to_many, existing relationships from the original table to the link
+table, and from the link table to the end table must already exist, these
+relation names are then used in the many_to_many call.

+In the above example, the Actor class will have 3 many_to_many accessor methods
+set: C<roles>, C<add_to_roles>, C<set_roles>, and similarly named accessors
+will be created for the Role class for the C<actors> many_to_many
+relationship.
+
+See L<DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base> for documentation on relationship
+methods and valid relationship attributes. Also see L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet>
+for a L<list of standard resultset attributes|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/ATTRIBUTES>
+which can be assigned to relationships as well.
