SYNOPSIS
Create a schema class called MyApp/Schema.pm:
package MyApp::Schema;
use base qw/DBIx::Class::Schema/;
__PACKAGE__->load_namespaces();
1;
Create a result class to represent artists, who have many CDs, in
MyApp/Schema/Result/Artist.pm:
See DBIx::Class::ResultSource for docs on defining result classes.
package MyApp::Schema::Result::Artist;
use base qw/DBIx::Class::Core/;
__PACKAGE__->table('artist');
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ artistid name /);
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('artistid');
__PACKAGE__->has_many(cds => 'MyApp::Schema::Result::CD', 'artistid');
1;
A result class to represent a CD, which belongs to an artist, in
MyApp/Schema/Result/CD.pm:
package MyApp::Schema::Result::CD;
use base qw/DBIx::Class::Core/;
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/InflateColumn::DateTime/);
__PACKAGE__->table('cd');
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ cdid artistid title year /);
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('cdid');
__PACKAGE__->belongs_to(artist => 'MyApp::Schema::Result::Artist', 'artistid');
1;
Then you can use these classes in your application's code:
# Connect to your database.
use MyApp::Schema;
my $schema = MyApp::Schema->connect($dbi_dsn, $user, $pass, \%dbi_params);
# Query for all artists and put them in an array,
# or retrieve them as a result set object.
# $schema->resultset returns a DBIx::Class::ResultSet
my @all_artists = $schema->resultset('Artist')->all;
my $all_artists_rs = $schema->resultset('Artist');
# Output all artists names
# $artist here is a DBIx::Class::Row, which has accessors
# for all its columns. Rows are also subclasses of your Result class.
foreach $artist (@all_artists) {
print $artist->name, "\n";
}
# Create a result set to search for artists.
# This does not query the DB.
my $johns_rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
# Build your WHERE using an SQL::Abstract structure:
{ name => { like => 'John%' } }
);
# Execute a joined query to get the cds.
my @all_john_cds = $johns_rs->search_related('cds')->all;
# Fetch the next available row.
my $first_john = $johns_rs->next;
# Specify ORDER BY on the query.
my $first_john_cds_by_title_rs = $first_john->cds(
undef,
{ order_by => 'title' }
);
# Create a result set that will fetch the artist data
# at the same time as it fetches CDs, using only one query.
my $millennium_cds_rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
{ year => 2000 },
{ prefetch => 'artist' }
);
my $cd = $millennium_cds_rs->next; # SELECT ... FROM cds JOIN artists ...
my $cd_artist_name = $cd->artist->name; # Already has the data so no 2nd query
# new() makes a DBIx::Class::Row object but doesnt insert it into the DB.
# create() is the same as new() then insert().
my $new_cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->new({ title => 'Spoon' });
$new_cd->artist($cd->artist);
$new_cd->insert; # Auto-increment primary key filled in after INSERT
$new_cd->title('Fork');
$schema->txn_do(sub { $new_cd->update }); # Runs the update in a transaction
# change the year of all the millennium CDs at once
$millennium_cds_rs->update({ year => 2002 });
DESCRIPTION
This is an SQL to OO mapper with an object API inspired by Class::DBI
(with a compatibility layer as a springboard for porting) and a
resultset API that allows abstract encapsulation of database operations.
It aims to make representing queries in your code as perl-ish as
possible while still providing access to as many of the capabilities of
the database as possible, including retrieving related records from
multiple tables in a single query, JOIN, LEFT JOIN, COUNT, DISTINCT,
GROUP BY, ORDER BY and HAVING support.
DBIx::Class can handle multi-column primary and foreign keys, complex
queries and database-level paging, and does its best to only query the
database in order to return something you've directly asked for. If a
resultset is used as an iterator it only fetches rows off the statement
handle as requested in order to minimise memory usage. It has
auto-increment support for SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server
and DB2 and is known to be used in production on at least the first
four, and is fork- and thread-safe out of the box (although your DBD may
not be).
This project is still under rapid development, so large new features may
be marked EXPERIMENTAL - such APIs are still usable but may have edge
bugs. Failing test cases are *always* welcome and point releases are put
out rapidly as bugs are found and fixed.
We do our best to maintain full backwards compatibility for published
APIs, since DBIx::Class is used in production in many organisations, and
even backwards incompatible changes to non-published APIs will be fixed
if they're reported and doing so doesn't cost the codebase anything.
The test suite is quite substantial, and several developer releases are
generally made to CPAN before the branch for the next release is merged
back to trunk for a major release.
