It is responsible for handling queries that may return an arbitrary number of rows, e.g. via L or a C relationship. In the examples below, the following table classes are used: package MyApp::Schema::Artist; use base qw/DBIx::Class/; __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/); __PACKAGE__->table('artist'); __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/artistid name/); __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('artistid'); __PACKAGE__->has_many(cds => 'MyApp::Schema::CD'); 1; package MyApp::Schema::CD; use base qw/DBIx::Class/; __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/); __PACKAGE__->table('cd'); __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/cdid artist title year/); __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('cdid'); __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(artist => 'MyApp::Schema::Artist'); 1; =head1 METHODS =head2 new =over 4 =item Arguments: $source, \%$attrs =item Return Value: $rs =back The resultset constructor. Takes a source object (usually a L) and an attribute hash (see L below). Does not perform any queries -- these are executed as needed by the other methods. Generally you won't need to construct a resultset manually. You'll automatically get one from e.g. a L called in scalar context: my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({ title => '100th Window' }); IMPORTANT: If called on an object, proxies to new_result instead so my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->new({ title => 'Spoon' }); will return a CD object, not a ResultSet. =cut sub new { my $class = shift; return $class->new_result(@_) if ref $class; my ($source, $attrs) = @_; $source = $source->handle unless $source->isa('DBIx::Class::ResultSourceHandle'); $attrs = { %{$attrs||{}} }; if ($attrs->{page}) { $attrs->{rows} ||= 10; } $attrs->{alias} ||= 'me'; # Creation of {} and bless separated to mitigate RH perl bug # see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=196836 my $self = { _source_handle => $source, result_class => $attrs->{result_class} || $source->resolve->result_class, cond => $attrs->{where}, count => undef, pager => undef, attrs => $attrs }; bless $self, $class; return $self; } =head2 search =over 4 =item Arguments: $cond, \%attrs? =item Return Value: $resultset (scalar context), @row_objs (list context) =back my @cds = $cd_rs->search({ year => 2001 }); # "...

For example: my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->find('Massive Attack', 'Mezzanine', { key => 'cd_artist_title' }); Additionally, you can specify the columns explicitly by name: my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->find( { artist => 'Massive Attack', title => 'Mezzanine', }, { key => 'cd_artist_title' } ); If the C is specified as C, it searches only on the primary key. If no C is specified, it searches on all unique constraints defined on the source, including the primary key. If your table does not have a primary key, you B provide a value for the C attribute matching one of the unique constraints on the source. See also L and L.

Here's an overview of them: =head2 order_by =over 4 =item Value: ($order_by | \@order_by) =back Which column(s) to order the results by. This is currently passed through directly to SQL, so you can give e.g. C for a descending order on the column `year'. Please note that if you have C enabled (see L) you will need to do C<\'year DESC' > to specify an order. (The scalar ref causes it to be passed as raw sql to the DB, so you will need to manually quote things as appropriate.) =head2 columns =over 4 =item Value: \@columns =back Shortcut to request a particular set of columns to be retrieved. Adds C onto the start of any column without a C<.> in it and sets C as normal. (You may also use the C attribute, as in earlier versions of DBIC.) =head2 include_columns =over 4 =item Value: \@columns =back Shortcut to include additional columns in the returned results - for example $schema->resultset('CD')->search(undef, { include_columns => ['artist.name'], join => ['artist'] }); would return all CDs and include a 'name' column to the information passed to object inflation. Note that the 'artist' is the name of the column (or relationship) accessor, and 'name' is the name of the column accessor in the related table. =head2 select =over 4 =item Value: \@select_columns =back Indicates which columns should be selected from the storage. You can use column names, or in the case of RDBMS back ends, function or stored procedure names: $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, { select => [ 'name', { count => 'employeeid' }, { sum => 'salary' } ] }); When you use function/stored procedure names and do not supply an C attribute, the column names returned are storage-dependent. E.g. MySQL would return a column named C in the above example. =head2 +select =over 4 Indicates additional columns to be selected from storage. Works the same as L but adds columns to the selection. =back =head2 +as =over 4 Indicates additional column names for those added via L. =back =head2 as =over 4 =item Value: \@inflation_names =back Indicates column names for object inflation. That is, C indicates the name that the column can be accessed as via the C method (or via the object accessor, B). It has nothing to do with the SQL code C, usually when C attibute that contains the C text, eg: select => [\'myfield AS alias'] =head2 join =over 4 =item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names) =back Contains a list of relationships that should be joined for this query. For example: # Get CDs by Nine Inch Nails my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search( { 'artist.name' => 'Nine Inch Nails' }, { join => 'artist' } ); Can also contain a hash reference to refer to the other relation's relations. For example: package MyApp::Schema::Track; use base qw/DBIx::Class/; __PACKAGE__->table('track'); __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/trackid cd position title/); __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('trackid'); __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(cd => 'MyApp::Schema::CD'); 1; # In your application my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search( { 'track.title' => 'Teardrop' }, { join => { cd => 'track' }, order_by => 'artist.name', } ); You need to use the relationship (not the table) name in conditions, because they are aliased as such. The current table is aliased as "me", so you need to use me.column_name in order to avoid ambiguity. For example: # Get CDs from 1984 with a 'Foo' track my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search( { 'me.year' => 1984, 'tracks.name' => 'Foo' }, { join => 'tracks' } ); If the same join is supplied twice, it will be aliased to _2 (and similarly for a third time). For e.g. my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({ 'cds.title' => 'Down to Earth', 'cds_2.title' => 'Popular', }, { join => [ qw/cds cds/ ], }); will return a set of all artists that have both a cd with title 'Down to Earth' and a cd with title 'Popular'. If you want to fetch related objects from other tables as well, see C below. For more help on using joins with search, see L. =head2 prefetch =over 4 =item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names) =back Contains one or more relationships that should be fetched along with the main query (when they are accessed afterwards the data will already be available, without extra queries to the database). This is useful for when you know you will need the related objects, because it saves at least one query: my $rs = $schema->resultset('Tag')->search( undef, { prefetch => { cd => 'artist' } } ); The initial search results in SQL like the following: SELECT tag.*, cd.*, artist.* FROM tag JOIN cd ON tag.cd = cd.cdid JOIN artist ON cd.artist = artist.artistid L has no need to go back to the database when we access the C or C relationships, which saves us two SQL statements in this case. Simple prefetches will be joined automatically, so there is no need for a C attribute in the above search. If you're prefetching to depth (e.g. { cd => { artist => 'label' } or similar), you'll need to specify the join as well. C can be used with the following relationship types: C, C (or if you're using C, any relationship declared with an accessor type of 'single' or 'filter'). =head2 page =over 4 =item Value: $page =back Makes the resultset paged and specifies the page to retrieve. Effectively identical to creating a non-pages resultset and then calling ->page($page) on it. If L attribute is not specified it defualts to 10 rows per page. =head2 rows =over 4 =item Value: $rows =back Specifes the maximum number of rows for direct retrieval or the number of rows per page if the page attribute or method is used. =head2 offset =over 4 =item Value: $offset =back Specifies the (zero-based) row number for the first row to be returned, or the of the first row of the first page if paging is used. =head2 group_by =over 4 =item Value: \@columns =back A arrayref of columns to group by. Can include columns of joined tables. group_by => [qw/ column1 column2 ... /] =head2 having =over 4 =item Value: $condition =back HAVING is a select statement attribute that is applied between GROUP BY and ORDER BY. It is applied to the after the grouping calculations have been done. having => { 'count(employee)' => { '>=', 100 } } =head2 distinct =over 4 =item Value: (0 | 1) =back Set to 1 to group by all columns. =head2 where =over 4 Adds to the WHERE clause. # only return rows WHERE deleted IS NULL for all searches __PACKAGE__->resultset_attributes({ where => { deleted => undef } }); ) Can be overridden by passing C<{ where => undef }> as an attribute to a resulset. =back =head2 cache Set to 1 to cache search results. This prevents extra SQL queries if you revisit rows in your ResultSet: my $resultset = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search( undef, { cache => 1 } ); while( my $artist = $resultset->next ) { ... do stuff ... } $rs->first; # without cache, this would issue a query By default, searches are not cached. For more examples of using these attributes, see L. =head2 from =over 4 =item Value: \@from_clause =back The C attribute gives you manual control over the C clause of SQL statements generated by L, allowing you to express custom C clauses. NOTE: Use this on your own risk. This allows you to shoot off your foot! C will usually do what you need and it is strongly recommended that you avoid using C unless you cannot achieve the desired result using C. And we really do mean "cannot", not just tried and failed. Attempting to use this because you're having problems with C is like trying to use x86 ASM because you've got a syntax error in your C. Trust us on this. Now, if you're still really, really sure you need to use this (and if you're not 100% sure, ask the mailing list first), here's an explanation of how this works. The syntax is as follows - [ { => }, [ { => , -join_type => 'inner|left|right' }, [], # nested JOIN (optional) { => , ... (more conditions) }, ], # More of the above [ ] may follow for additional joins ] JOIN [JOIN ...] ON = An easy way to follow the examples below is to remember the following: Anything inside "[]" is a JOIN Anything inside "{}" is a condition for the enclosing JOIN The following examples utilize a "person" table in a family tree application. In order to express parent->child relationships, this table is self-joined: # Person->belongs_to('father' => 'Person'); # Person->belongs_to('mother' => 'Person'); C can be used to nest joins. Here we return all children with a father, then search against all mothers of those children: $rs = $schema->resultset('Person')->search( undef, { alias => 'mother', # alias columns in accordance with "from" from => [ { mother => 'person' }, [ [ { child => 'person' }, [ { father => 'person' }, { 'father.person_id' => 'child.father_id' } ] ], { 'mother.person_id' => 'child.mother_id' } ], ] }, ); # Equivalent SQL: # SELECT mother.* FROM person mother # JOIN ( # person child # JOIN person father # ON ( father.person_id = child.father_id ) # ) # ON ( mother.person_id = child.mother_id ) The type of any join can be controlled manually. To search against only people with a father in the person table, we could explicitly use C: $rs = $schema->resultset('Person')->search( undef, { alias => 'child', # alias columns in accordance with "from" from => [ { child => 'person' }, [ { father => 'person', -join_type => 'inner' }, { 'father.id' => 'child.father_id' } ], ] }, ); # Equivalent SQL: # SELECT child.* FROM person child # INNER JOIN person father ON child.father_id = father.id =cut 1;
