=head1 NAME

DBIx::Class::ResultSet - Represents a query used for fetching a set of results.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  my $users_rs = $schema->resultset('User');
  while( $user = $users_rs->next) {
    print $user->username;
  }

  my $registered_users_rs = $schema->resultset('User')->search({ registered => 1 });
  my @cds_in_2005 = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({ year => 2005 })->all();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A ResultSet is an object which stores a set of conditions representing
a query. It is the backbone of DBIx::Class (i.e. the really
important/useful bit).

No SQL is executed on the database when a ResultSet is created, it
just stores all the conditions needed to create the query.

A basic ResultSet representing the data of an entire table is returned
by calling C<resultset> on a L<DBIx::Class::Schema> and passing in a
L<Source|DBIx::Class::Manual::Glossary/ResultSource> name.

  my $users_rs = $schema->resultset('User');

A new ResultSet is returned from calling L</search> on an existing
ResultSet. The new one will contain all the conditions of the
original, plus any new conditions added in the C<search> call.

A ResultSet also incorporates an implicit iterator. L</next> and L</reset>
can be used to walk through all the L<DBIx::Class::Row>s the ResultSet
represents.

The query that the ResultSet represents is B<only> executed against
the database when these methods are called:
L</find>, L</next>, L</all>, L</first>, L</single>, L</count>.

If a resultset is used in a numeric context it returns the L</count>.
However, if it is used in a boolean context it is B<always> true.  So if
you want to check if a resultset has any results, you must use C<if $rs
!= 0>.

=head1 EXAMPLES

=head2 Chaining resultsets

Let's say you've got a query that needs to be run to return some data
to the user. But, you have an authorization system in place that
prevents certain users from seeing certain information. So, you want
to construct the basic query in one method, but add constraints to it in
another.

  sub get_data {
    my $self = shift;
    my $request = $self->get_request; # Get a request object somehow.
    my $schema = $self->result_source->schema;

    my $cd_rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({
      title => $request->param('title'),
      year => $request->param('year'),
    });

    $cd_rs = $self->apply_security_policy( $cd_rs );

    return $cd_rs->all();
  }

  sub apply_security_policy {
    my $self = shift;
    my ($rs) = @_;

    return $rs->search({
      subversive => 0,
    });
  }

=head3 Resolving conditions and attributes

When a resultset is chained from another resultset (e.g.:
C<< my $new_rs = $old_rs->search(\%extra_cond, \%attrs) >>), conditions
and attributes with the same keys need resolving.

If any of L</columns>, L</select>, L</as> are present, they reset the
original selection, and start the selection "clean".

The L</join>, L</prefetch>, L</+columns>, L</+select>, L</+as> attributes
are merged into the existing ones from the original resultset.

The L</where> and L</having> attributes, and any search conditions, are
merged with an SQL C<AND> to the existing condition from the original
resultset.

All other attributes are overridden by any new ones supplied in the
search attributes.

=head2 Multiple queries

Since a resultset just defines a query, you can do all sorts of
things with it with the same object.

  # Don't hit the DB yet.
  my $cd_rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({
    title => 'something',
    year => 2009,
  });

  # Each of these hits the DB individually.
  my $count = $cd_rs->count;
  my $most_recent = $cd_rs->get_column('date_released')->max();
  my @records = $cd_rs->all;

And it's not just limited to SELECT statements.

  $cd_rs->delete();

This is even cooler:

  $cd_rs->create({ artist => 'Fred' });

Which is the same as:

  $schema->resultset('CD')->create({
    title => 'something',
    year => 2009,
    artist => 'Fred'
  });

See: L</search>, L</count>, L</get_column>, L</all>, L</create>.

=head2 Custom ResultSet classes

To add methods to your resultsets, you can subclass L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet>, similar to:

  package MyApp::Schema::ResultSet::User;

  use strict;
  use warnings;

  use base 'DBIx::Class::ResultSet';

  sub active {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->search({ $self->current_source_alias . '.active' => 1 });
  }

  sub unverified {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->search({ $self->current_source_alias . '.verified' => 0 });
  }

  sub created_n_days_ago {
    my ($self, $days_ago) = @_;
    $self->search({
      $self->current_source_alias . '.create_date' => {
        '<=',
      $self->result_source->schema->storage->datetime_parser->format_datetime(
        DateTime->now( time_zone => 'UTC' )->subtract( days => $days_ago )
      )}
    });
  }

  sub users_to_warn { shift->active->unverified->created_n_days_ago(7) }

  1;

See L<DBIx::Class::Schema/load_namespaces> on how DBIC can discover and
automatically attach L<Result|DBIx::Class::Manual::ResultClass>-specific
L<ResulSet|DBIx::Class::ResultSet> classes.

=head3 ResultSet subclassing with Moose and similar constructor-providers

Using L<Moose> or L<Moo> in your ResultSet classes is usually overkill, but
you may find it useful if your ResultSets contain a lot of business logic
(e.g. C<has xml_parser>, C<has json>, etc) or if you just prefer to organize
your code via roles.

In order to write custom ResultSet classes with L<Moo> you need to use the
following template. The L<BUILDARGS|Moo/BUILDARGS> is necessary due to the
unusual signature of the L<constructor provided by DBIC
|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/new> C<< ->new($source, \%args) >>.

  use Moo;
  extends 'DBIx::Class::ResultSet';
  sub BUILDARGS { $_[2] } # ::RS::new() expects my ($class, $rsrc, $args) = @_

  ...your code...

  1;

If you want to build your custom ResultSet classes with L<Moose>, you need
a similar, though a little more elaborate template in order to interface the
inlining of the L<Moose>-provided
L<object constructor|Moose::Manual::Construction/WHERE'S THE CONSTRUCTOR?>,
with the DBIC one.

  package MyApp::Schema::ResultSet::User;

  use Moose;
  use MooseX::NonMoose;
  extends 'DBIx::Class::ResultSet';

  sub BUILDARGS { $_[2] } # ::RS::new() expects my ($class, $rsrc, $args) = @_

  ...your code...

  __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;

  1;

The L<MooseX::NonMoose> is necessary so that the L<Moose> constructor does not
entirely overwrite the DBIC one (in contrast L<Moo> does this automatically).
Alternatively, you can skip L<MooseX::NonMoose> and get by with just L<Moose>
instead by doing:

  __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable(inline_constructor => 0);

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

=over 4

=item Arguments: L<$source|DBIx::Class::ResultSource>, L<\%attrs?|/ATTRIBUTES>

=item Return Value: L<$resultset|/search>

=back

The resultset constructor. Takes a source object (usually a
L<DBIx::Class::ResultSourceProxy::Table>) and an attribute hash (see
L</ATTRIBUTES> below).  Does not perform any queries -- these are
executed as needed by the other methods.

Generally you never construct a resultset manually. Instead you get one
from e.g. a
C<< $schema->L<resultset|DBIx::Class::Schema/resultset>('$source_name') >>
or C<< $another_resultset->L<search|/search>(...) >> (the later called in
scalar context):

  my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({ title => '100th Window' });

=over

=item WARNING

If called on an object, proxies to L</new_result> instead, so

  my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->new({ title => 'Spoon' });

will return a CD object, not a ResultSet, and is equivalent to:

  my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->new_result({ title => 'Spoon' });

Please also keep in mind that many internals call L</new_result> directly,
so overloading this method with the idea of intercepting new result object
creation B<will not work>. See also warning pertaining to L</create>.

                 # year = 2005 OR year = 2004

In list context, C<< ->all() >> is called implicitly on the resultset, thus
returning a list of L<result|DBIx::Class::Manual::ResultClass> objects instead.
To avoid that, use L</search_rs>.

If you need to pass in additional attributes but no additional condition,
call it as C<search(undef, \%attrs)>.

  # "SELECT name, artistid FROM $artist_table"
  my @all_artists = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(undef, {
    columns => [qw/name artistid/],
  });

For a list of attributes that can be passed to C<search>, see
L</ATTRIBUTES>. For more examples of using this function, see
L<Searching|DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook/SEARCHING>. For a complete
documentation for the first argument, see L<SQL::Abstract/"WHERE CLAUSES">
and its extension L<DBIx::Class::SQLMaker>.

For more help on using joins with search, see L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Joining>.

=head3 CAVEAT

Note that L</search> does not process/deflate any of the values passed in the
L<SQL::Abstract>-compatible search condition structure. This is unlike other
condition-bound methods L</new_result>, L</create> and L</find>. The user must ensure
manually that any value passed to this method will stringify to something the
RDBMS knows how to deal with. A notable example is the handling of L<DateTime>
objects, for more info see:
L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook/Formatting DateTime objects in queries>.

Finds and returns a single row based on supplied criteria. Takes either a

In either case an attempt is made to combine conditions already existing on
the resultset with the condition passed to this method.

To aid with preparing the correct query for the storage you may supply the
C<key> attribute, which is the name of a
L<unique constraint|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_unique_constraint> (the
unique constraint corresponding to the
L<primary columns|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/primary_columns> is always named
C<primary>). If the C<key> attribute has been supplied, and DBIC is unable
to construct a query that satisfies the named unique constraint fully (
non-NULL values for each column member of the constraint) an exception is
thrown.

If no C<key> is specified, the search is carried over all unique constraints
which are fully defined by the available condition.

If no such constraint is found, C<find> currently defaults to a simple
C<< search->(\%column_values) >> which may or may not do what you expect.
Note that this fallback behavior may be deprecated in further versions. If
you need to search with arbitrary conditions - use L</search>. If the query
resulting from this fallback produces more than one row, a warning to the
effect is issued, though only the first row is constructed and returned as
C<$result_object>.

In addition to C<key>, L</find> recognizes and applies standard
L<resultset attributes|/ATTRIBUTES> in the same way as L</search> does.

Note that if you have extra concerns about the correctness of the resulting
query you need to specify the C<key> attribute and supply the entire condition
as an argument to find (since it is not always possible to perform the
combination of the resultset condition with the supplied one, especially if
the resultset condition contains literal sql).

For example, to find a row by its primary key:

  my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->find(5);

You can also find a row by a specific unique constraint:

  my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->find(
    {
      artist => 'Massive Attack',
      title  => 'Mezzanine',
    },
    { key => 'cd_artist_title' }
  );

Searches the specified relationship, optionally specifying a condition and
attributes for matching records. See L</ATTRIBUTES> for more information.

In list context, C<< ->all() >> is called implicitly on the resultset, thus
returning a list of result objects instead. To avoid that, use L</search_related_rs>.

Inflates the first result without creating a cursor if the resultset has
any records in it; if not returns C<undef>. Used by L</find> as a lean version
of L</search>.

While this method can take an optional search condition (just like L</search>)
being a fast-code-path it does not recognize search attributes. If you need to
add extra joins or similar, call L</search> and then chain-call L</single> on the
L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet> returned.

As of 0.08100, this method enforces the assumption that the preceding
query returns only one row. If more than one row is returned, you will receive

In this case, you should be using L</next> or L</find> instead, or if you really
know what you are doing, use the L</rows> attribute to explicitly limit the size
of the resultset.

This method will also throw an exception if it is called on a resultset prefetching
has_many, as such a prefetch implies fetching multiple rows from the database in
order to assemble the resulting object.

Performs a search, but uses C<LIKE> instead of C<=> as the condition. Note

You most likely want to use L</search> with specific operators.

For more information, see L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook>.

This method is deprecated and will be removed in 0.09. Use L<search()|/search>

Can be used to efficiently iterate over records in the resultset:

Note that you need to store the resultset object, and call C<next> on it.

The context of this method call has an important effect on what is
submitted to storage. In void context data is fed directly to fastpath
insertion routines provided by the underlying storage (most often
L<DBI/execute_for_fetch>), bypassing the L<new|DBIx::Class::Row/new> and
L<insert|DBIx::Class::Row/insert> calls on the
L<Result|DBIx::Class::Manual::ResultClass> class, including any
augmentation of these methods provided by components. For example if you
are using something like L<DBIx::Class::UUIDColumns> to create primary
keys for you, you will find that your PKs are empty.  In this case you
will have to explicitly force scalar or list context in order to create
those values.

=back

In non-void (scalar or list) context, this method is simply a wrapper
for L</create>. Depending on list or scalar context either a list of
L<Result|DBIx::Class::Manual::ResultClass> objects or an arrayref
containing these objects is returned.

When supplying data in "arrayref of arrayrefs" invocation style, the
first element should be a list of column names and each subsequent
element should be a data value in the earlier specified column order.
For example:

  $schema->resultset("Artist")->populate([
    [ qw( artistid name ) ],
    [ 100, 'A Formally Unknown Singer' ],
    [ 101, 'A singer that jumped the shark two albums ago' ],
    [ 102, 'An actually cool singer' ],
  ]);

For the arrayref of hashrefs style each hashref should be a structure
suitable for passing to L</create>. Multi-create is also permitted with
this syntax.

  $schema->resultset("Artist")->populate([
     { artistid => 4, name => 'Manufactured Crap', cds => [
        { title => 'My First CD', year => 2006 },
        { title => 'Yet More Tweeny-Pop crap', year => 2007 },
      ],
     },
     { artistid => 5, name => 'Angsty-Whiny Girl', cds => [
        { title => 'My parents sold me to a record company', year => 2005 },
        { title => 'Why Am I So Ugly?', year => 2006 },
        { title => 'I Got Surgery and am now Popular', year => 2007 }
      ],
     },
  ]);

If you attempt a void-context multi-create as in the example above (each
Artist also has the related list of CDs), and B<do not> supply the
necessary autoinc foreign key information, this method will proxy to the
less efficient L</create>, and then throw the Result objects away. In this
case there are obviously no benefits to using this method over L</create>.

Find an existing record from this resultset using L</find>. if none exists,
instantiate a new result object and return it. The object will not be saved
into your storage until you call L<DBIx::Class::Row/insert> on it.

You most likely want this method when looking for existing rows using a unique
constraint that is not the primary key, or looking for related rows.

If you want objects to be saved immediately, use L</find_or_create> instead.

B<Note>: Make sure to read the documentation of L</find> and understand the
significance of the C<key> attribute, as its lack may skew your search, and
subsequently result in spurious new objects.

B<Note>: Take care when using C<find_or_new> with a table having
columns with default values that you intend to be automatically
supplied by the database (e.g. an auto_increment primary key column).
In normal usage, the value of such columns should NOT be included at

=head2 create

=over 4

=item Arguments: \%col_data

=item Return Value: L<$result|DBIx::Class::Manual::ResultClass>

=back

Attempt to create a single new row or a row with multiple related rows
in the table represented by the resultset (and related tables). This
will not check for duplicate rows before inserting, use
L</find_or_create> to do that.

To create one row for this resultset, pass a hashref of key/value
pairs representing the columns of the table and the values you wish to
store. If the appropriate relationships are set up, foreign key fields
can also be passed an object representing the foreign row, and the
value will be set to its primary key.

To create related objects, pass a hashref of related-object column values
B<keyed on the relationship name>. If the relationship is of type C<multi>
(L<DBIx::Class::Relationship/has_many>) - pass an arrayref of hashrefs.
The process will correctly identify columns holding foreign keys, and will
transparently populate them from the keys of the corresponding relation.
This can be applied recursively, and will work correctly for a structure
with an arbitrary depth and width, as long as the relationships actually
exists and the correct column data has been supplied.

Instead of hashrefs of plain related data (key/value pairs), you may
also pass new or inserted objects. New objects (not inserted yet, see
L</new_result>), will be inserted into their appropriate tables.

Effectively a shortcut for C<< ->new_result(\%col_data)->insert >>.

Example of creating a new row.

  $person_rs->create({
    name=>"Some Person",

=item WARNING

When subclassing ResultSet never attempt to override this method. Since
it is a simple shortcut for C<< $self->new_result($attrs)->insert >>, a
lot of the internals simply never call it, so your override will be
bypassed more often than not. Override either L<DBIx::Class::Row/new>
or L<DBIx::Class::Row/insert> depending on how early in the
L</create> process you need to intervene. See also warning pertaining to

Tries to find a record based on its primary key or unique constraints; if none
is found, creates one and returns that instead.

  my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->find_or_create({
    cdid   => 5,
    artist => 'Massive Attack',
    title  => 'Mezzanine',
    year   => 2005,
  });

Also takes an optional C<key> attribute, to search by a specific key or unique
constraint. For example:

  my $cd = $schema->resultset('CD')->find_or_create(
    {
      artist => 'Massive Attack',
      title  => 'Mezzanine',
    },
    { key => 'cd_artist_title' }
  );

B<Note>: Make sure to read the documentation of L</find> and understand the
significance of the C<key> attribute, as its lack may skew your search, and
subsequently result in spurious row creation.

B<Note>: Because find_or_create() reads from the database and then
possibly inserts based on the result, this method is subject to a race
condition. Another process could create a record in the table after
the find has completed and before the create has started. To avoid
this problem, use find_or_create() inside a transaction.

B<Note>: Take care when using C<find_or_create> with a table having
columns with default values that you intend to be automatically
supplied by the database (e.g. an auto_increment primary key column).
In normal usage, the value of such columns should NOT be included at
all in the call to C<find_or_create>, even when set to C<undef>.

See also L</find> and L</update_or_create>. For information on how to declare

=item Arguments: none

=item Return Value: $source_alias

=back

Returns the current table alias for the result source this resultset is built
on, that will be used in the SQL query. Usually it is C<me>.

Currently the source alias that refers to the result set returned by a
L</search>/L</find> family method depends on how you got to the resultset: it's
C<me> by default, but eg. L</search_related> aliases it to the related result
source name (and keeps C<me> referring to the original result set). The long
term goal is to make L<DBIx::Class> always alias the current resultset as C<me>
(and make this method unnecessary).

Thus it's currently necessary to use this method in predefined queries (see
L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook/Predefined searches>) when referring to the
source alias of the current result set:

  # in a result set class
  sub modified_by {
    my ($self, $user) = @_;

    my $me = $self->current_source_alias;

    return $self->search({
      "$me.modified" => $user->id,

=item Arguments: none

=item Return Value: L<$resultset|/search>

=back

Act as a barrier to SQL symbols.  The resultset provided will be made into a
"virtual view" by including it as a subquery within the from clause.  From this
point on, any joined tables are inaccessible to ->search on the resultset (as if
it were simply where-filtered without joins).  For example:

 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Bar')->search({'x.name' => 'abc'},{ join => 'x' });

 # 'x' now pollutes the query namespace

 # So the following works as expected
 my $ok_rs = $rs->search({'x.other' => 1});

 # But this doesn't: instead of finding a 'Bar' related to two x rows (abc and
 # def) we look for one row with contradictory terms and join in another table
 # (aliased 'x_2') which we never use
 my $broken_rs = $rs->search({'x.name' => 'def'});

 my $rs2 = $rs->as_subselect_rs;

 # doesn't work - 'x' is no longer accessible in $rs2, having been sealed away
 my $not_joined_rs = $rs2->search({'x.other' => 1});

 # works as expected: finds a 'table' row related to two x rows (abc and def)
 my $correctly_joined_rs = $rs2->search({'x.name' => 'def'});

Another example of when one might use this would be to select a subset of
columns in a group by clause:

 my $rs = $schema->resultset('Bar')->search(undef, {
   group_by => [qw{ id foo_id baz_id }],
 })->as_subselect_rs->search(undef, {
   columns => [qw{ id foo_id }]
 });

In the above example normally columns would have to be equal to the group by,
but because we isolated the group by into a subselect the above works.

# XXX: FIXME: Attributes docs need clearing up

=head1 ATTRIBUTES

Attributes are used to refine a ResultSet in various ways when
searching for data. They can be passed to any method which takes an
C<\%attrs> argument. See L</search>, L</search_rs>, L</find>,
L</count>.

Default attributes can be set on the result class using
L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource/resultset_attributes>.  (Please read
the CAVEATS on that feature before using it!)

These are in no particular order:

=head2 order_by

=over 4

=item Value: ( $order_by | \@order_by | \%order_by )

=back

Which column(s) to order the results by.

[The full list of suitable values is documented in
L<SQL::Abstract/"ORDER BY CLAUSES">; the following is a summary of
common options.]

If a single column name, or an arrayref of names is supplied, the
argument is passed through directly to SQL. The hashref syntax allows
for connection-agnostic specification of ordering direction:

 For descending order:

  order_by => { -desc => [qw/col1 col2 col3/] }

 For explicit ascending order:

  order_by => { -asc => 'col' }

The old scalarref syntax (i.e. order_by => \'year DESC') is still
supported, although you are strongly encouraged to use the hashref
syntax as outlined above.

=head2 columns

=over 4

=item Value: \@columns | \%columns | $column

=back

Shortcut to request a particular set of columns to be retrieved. Each
column spec may be a string (a table column name), or a hash (in which
case the key is the C<as> value, and the value is used as the C<select>
expression). Adds the L</current_source_alias> onto the start of any column without a C<.> in
it and sets C<select> from that, then auto-populates C<as> from
C<select> as normal. (You may also use the C<cols> attribute, as in
earlier versions of DBIC, but this is deprecated)

Essentially C<columns> does the same as L</select> and L</as>.

    columns => [ 'some_column', { dbic_slot => 'another_column' } ]

is the same as

    select => [qw(some_column another_column)],
    as     => [qw(some_column dbic_slot)]

If you want to individually retrieve related columns (in essence perform
manual prefetch) you have to make sure to specify the correct inflation slot
chain such that it matches existing relationships:

    my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({}, {
        # required to tell DBIC to collapse has_many relationships
        collapse => 1,
        join     => { cds => 'tracks'},
        '+columns'  => {
          'cds.cdid'         => 'cds.cdid',
          'cds.tracks.title' => 'tracks.title',
        },
    });

Like elsewhere, literal SQL or literal values can be included by using a
scalar reference or a literal bind value, and these values will be available
in the result with C<get_column> (see also
L<SQL::Abstract/Literal SQL and value type operators>):

    # equivalent SQL: SELECT 1, 'a string', IF(my_column,?,?) ...
    # bind values: $true_value, $false_value
    columns => [
        {
            foo => \1,
            bar => \q{'a string'},
            baz => \[ 'IF(my_column,?,?)', $true_value, $false_value ],
        }
    ]

=head2 +columns

B<NOTE:> You B<MUST> explicitly quote C<'+columns'> when using this attribute.
Not doing so causes Perl to incorrectly interpret C<+columns> as a bareword
with a unary plus operator before it, which is the same as simply C<columns>.

=over 4

=item Value: \@extra_columns

=back

Indicates additional columns to be selected from storage. Works the same as
L</columns> but adds columns to the current selection. (You may also use the
C<include_columns> attribute, as in earlier versions of DBIC, but this is
deprecated)

  $schema->resultset('CD')->search(undef, {
    '+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' },
      { max => { length => 'name' }, -as => 'longest_name' }
    ]
  });

  # Equivalent SQL
  SELECT name, COUNT( employeeid ), MAX( LENGTH( name ) ) AS longest_name FROM employee

B<NOTE:> You will almost always need a corresponding L</as> attribute when you
use L</select>, to instruct DBIx::Class how to store the result of the column.

Also note that the L</as> attribute has B<nothing to do> with the SQL-side
C<AS> identifier aliasing. You B<can> alias a function (so you can use it e.g.
in an C<ORDER BY> clause), however this is done via the C<-as> B<select
function attribute> supplied as shown in the example above.

=head2 +select

B<NOTE:> You B<MUST> explicitly quote C<'+select'> when using this attribute.
Not doing so causes Perl to incorrectly interpret C<+select> as a bareword
with a unary plus operator before it, which is the same as simply C<select>.

=over 4

=item Value: \@extra_select_columns

=back

Indicates additional columns to be selected from storage.  Works the same as
L</select> but adds columns to the current selection, instead of specifying
a new explicit list.

=head2 as

=over 4

=item Value: \@inflation_names

=back

Indicates DBIC-side names for object inflation. That is L</as> indicates the
slot name in which the column value will be stored within the
L<Row|DBIx::Class::Row> object. The value will then be accessible via this
identifier by the C<get_column> method (or via the object accessor B<if one
with the same name already exists>) as shown below.

The L</as> attribute has B<nothing to do> with the SQL-side identifier
aliasing C<AS>. See L</select> for details.

  $rs = $schema->resultset('Employee')->search(undef, {
    select => [
      'name',
      { count => 'employeeid' },
      { max => { length => 'name' }, -as => 'longest_name' }
    ],
    as => [qw/
      name
      employee_count
      max_name_length
    /],
  });

If the object against which the search is performed already has an accessor
matching a column name specified in C<as>, the value can be retrieved using
the accessor as normal:

  my $name = $employee->name();

If on the other hand an accessor does not exist in the object, you need to
use C<get_column> instead:

  my $employee_count = $employee->get_column('employee_count');

You can create your own accessors if required - see
L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook> for details.

=head2 +as

B<NOTE:> You B<MUST> explicitly quote C<'+as'> when using this attribute.
Not doing so causes Perl to incorrectly interpret C<+as> as a bareword
with a unary plus operator before it, which is the same as simply C<as>.

=over 4

=item Value: \@extra_inflation_names

=back

Indicates additional inflation names for selectors added via L</+select>. See L</as>.

=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 <rel>_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 L</prefetch>
below.

 NOTE: An internal join-chain pruner will discard certain joins while
 constructing the actual SQL query, as long as the joins in question do not
 affect the retrieved result. This for example includes 1:1 left joins
 that are not part of the restriction specification (WHERE/HAVING) nor are
 a part of the query selection.

For more help on using joins with search, see L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Joining>.

=head2 collapse

=over 4

=item Value: (0 | 1)

=back

When set to a true value, indicates that any rows fetched from joined has_many
relationships are to be aggregated into the corresponding "parent" object. For
example, the resultset:

  my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({}, {
    '+columns' => [ qw/ tracks.title tracks.position / ],
    join => 'tracks',
    collapse => 1,
  });

While executing the following query:

  SELECT me.*, tracks.title, tracks.position
    FROM cd me
    LEFT JOIN track tracks
      ON tracks.cdid = me.cdid

Will return only as many objects as there are rows in the CD source, even
though the result of the query may span many rows. Each of these CD objects
will in turn have multiple "Track" objects hidden behind the has_many
generated accessor C<tracks>. Without C<< collapse => 1 >>, the return values
of this resultset would be as many CD objects as there are tracks (a "Cartesian
product"), with each CD object containing exactly one of all fetched Track data.

When a collapse is requested on a non-ordered resultset, an order by some
unique part of the main source (the left-most table) is inserted automatically.
This is done so that the resultset is allowed to be "lazy" - calling
L<< $rs->next|/next >> will fetch only as many rows as it needs to build the next
object with all of its related data.

If an L</order_by> is already declared, and orders the resultset in a way that
makes collapsing as described above impossible (e.g. C<< ORDER BY
has_many_rel.column >> or C<ORDER BY RANDOM()>), DBIC will automatically
switch to "eager" mode and slurp the entire resultset before constructing the
first object returned by L</next>.

Setting this attribute on a resultset that does not join any has_many
relations is a no-op.

For a more in-depth discussion, see L</PREFETCHING>.

=head2 prefetch

=over 4

=item Value: ($rel_name | \@rel_names | \%rel_names)

=back

This attribute is a shorthand for specifying a L</join> spec, adding all
columns from the joined related sources as L</+columns> and setting
L</collapse> to a true value. It can be thought of as a rough B<superset>
of the L</join> attribute.

For example, the following two queries are equivalent:

  my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({}, {
    prefetch => { cds => ['genre', 'tracks' ] },
  });

and

  my $rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({}, {
    join => { cds => ['genre', 'tracks' ] },
    collapse => 1,
    '+columns' => [
      (map
        { +{ "cds.$_" => "cds.$_" } }
        $schema->source('Artist')->related_source('cds')->columns
      ),
      (map
        { +{ "cds.genre.$_" => "genre.$_" } }
        $schema->source('Artist')->related_source('cds')->related_source('genre')->columns
      ),
      (map
        { +{ "cds.tracks.$_" => "tracks.$_" } }
        $schema->source('Artist')->related_source('cds')->related_source('tracks')->columns
      ),
    ],
  });

Both producing the following SQL:

  SELECT  me.artistid, me.name, me.rank, me.charfield,
          cds.cdid, cds.artist, cds.title, cds.year, cds.genreid, cds.single_track,
          genre.genreid, genre.name,
          tracks.trackid, tracks.cd, tracks.position, tracks.title, tracks.last_updated_on, tracks.last_updated_at
    FROM artist me
    LEFT JOIN cd cds
      ON cds.artist = me.artistid
    LEFT JOIN genre genre
      ON genre.genreid = cds.genreid
    LEFT JOIN track tracks
      ON tracks.cd = cds.cdid
  ORDER BY me.artistid

While L</prefetch> implies a L</join>, it is ok to mix the two together, as
the arguments are properly merged and generally do the right thing. For
example, you may want to do the following:

  my $artists_and_cds_without_genre = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search(
    { 'genre.genreid' => undef },
    {
      join => { cds => 'genre' },
      prefetch => 'cds',
    }
  );

Which generates the following SQL:

  SELECT  me.artistid, me.name, me.rank, me.charfield,
          cds.cdid, cds.artist, cds.title, cds.year, cds.genreid, cds.single_track
    FROM artist me
    LEFT JOIN cd cds
      ON cds.artist = me.artistid
    LEFT JOIN genre genre
      ON genre.genreid = cds.genreid
  WHERE genre.genreid IS NULL
  ORDER BY me.artistid

For a more in-depth discussion, see L</PREFETCHING>.

=head2 alias

=over 4

=item Value: $source_alias

=back

Sets the source alias for the query.  Normally, this defaults to C<me>, but
nested search queries (sub-SELECTs) might need specific aliases set to
reference inner queries.  For example:

   my $q = $rs
      ->related_resultset('CDs')
      ->related_resultset('Tracks')
      ->search({
         'track.id' => { -ident => 'none_search.id' },
      })
      ->as_query;

   my $ids = $self->search({
      -not_exists => $q,
   }, {
      alias    => 'none_search',
      group_by => 'none_search.id',
   })->get_column('id')->as_query;

   $self->search({ id => { -in => $ids } })

This attribute is directly tied to L</current_source_alias>.

=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</rows> attribute is not specified it defaults to 10 rows per page.

When you have a paged resultset, L</count> will only return the number
of rows in the page. To get the total, use the L</pager> and call
C<total_entries> on it.

=head2 rows

=over 4

=item Value: $rows

=back

Specifies 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 software_limit

=over 4

=item Value: (0 | 1)

=back

When combined with L</rows> and/or L</offset> the generated SQL will not
include any limit dialect stanzas. Instead the entire result will be selected
as if no limits were specified, and DBIC will perform the limit locally, by
artificially advancing and finishing the resulting L</cursor>.

This is the recommended way of performing resultset limiting when no sane RDBMS
implementation is available (e.g.
L<Sybase ASE|DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::ASE> using the
L<Generic Sub Query|DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::LimitDialects/GenericSubQ> hack)

=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

The HAVING operator specifies a B<secondary> condition applied to the set
after the grouping calculations have been done. In other words it is a
constraint just like L</where> (and accepting the same
L<SQL::Abstract syntax|SQL::Abstract/WHERE CLAUSES>) applied to the data
as it exists after GROUP BY has taken place. Specifying L</having> without
L</group_by> is a logical mistake, and a fatal error on most RDBMS engines.

E.g.

  having => { 'count_employee' => { '>=', 100 } }

or with an in-place function in which case literal SQL is required:

  having => \[ 'count(employee) >= ?', 100 ]

=head2 distinct

=over 4

=item Value: (0 | 1)

=back

Set to 1 to automatically generate a L</group_by> clause based on the selection
(including intelligent handling of L</order_by> contents). Note that the group
criteria calculation takes place over the B<final> selection. This includes
any L</+columns>, L</+select> or L</order_by> additions in subsequent
L</search> calls, and standalone columns selected via
L<DBIx::Class::ResultSetColumn> (L</get_column>). A notable exception are the
extra selections specified via L</prefetch> - such selections are explicitly
excluded from group criteria calculations.

If the final ResultSet also explicitly defines a L</group_by> attribute, this
setting is ignored and an appropriate warning is issued.

=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 resultset.

For more complicated where clauses see L<SQL::Abstract/WHERE CLAUSES>.

=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<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook>.

=head2 for

=over 4

=item Value: ( 'update' | 'shared' | \$scalar )

=back

Set to 'update' for a SELECT ... FOR UPDATE or 'shared' for a SELECT
... FOR SHARED. If \$scalar is passed, this is taken directly and embedded in the
query.

=head1 PREFETCHING

DBIx::Class supports arbitrary related data prefetching from multiple related
sources. Any combination of relationship types and column sets are supported.
If L<collapsing|/collapse> is requested, there is an additional requirement of
selecting enough data to make every individual object uniquely identifiable.

Here are some more involved examples, based on the following relationship map:

  # Assuming:
  My::Schema::CD->belongs_to( artist      => 'My::Schema::Artist'     );
  My::Schema::CD->might_have( liner_note  => 'My::Schema::LinerNotes' );
  My::Schema::CD->has_many(   tracks      => 'My::Schema::Track'      );

  My::Schema::Artist->belongs_to( record_label => 'My::Schema::RecordLabel' );

  My::Schema::Track->has_many( guests => 'My::Schema::Guest' );



  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<DBIx::Class> has no need to go back to the database when we access the
C<cd> or C<artist> relationships, which saves us two SQL statements in this
case.

Simple prefetches will be joined automatically, so there is no need
for a C<join> attribute in the above search.

The L</prefetch> attribute can be used with any of the relationship types
and multiple prefetches can be specified together. Below is a more complex
example that prefetches a CD's artist, its liner notes (if present),
the cover image, the tracks on that CD, and the guests on those
tracks.

  my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search(
    undef,
    {
      prefetch => [
        { artist => 'record_label'},  # belongs_to => belongs_to
        'liner_note',                 # might_have
        'cover_image',                # has_one
        { tracks => 'guests' },       # has_many => has_many
      ]
    }
  );

This will produce SQL like the following:

  SELECT cd.*, artist.*, record_label.*, liner_note.*, cover_image.*,
         tracks.*, guests.*
    FROM cd me
    JOIN artist artist
      ON artist.artistid = me.artistid
    JOIN record_label record_label
      ON record_label.labelid = artist.labelid
    LEFT JOIN track tracks
      ON tracks.cdid = me.cdid
    LEFT JOIN guest guests
      ON guests.trackid = track.trackid
    LEFT JOIN liner_notes liner_note
      ON liner_note.cdid = me.cdid
    JOIN cd_artwork cover_image
      ON cover_image.cdid = me.cdid
  ORDER BY tracks.cd

Now the C<artist>, C<record_label>, C<liner_note>, C<cover_image>,
C<tracks>, and C<guests> of the CD will all be available through the
relationship accessors without the need for additional queries to the
database.

=head3 CAVEATS

Prefetch does a lot of deep magic. As such, it may not behave exactly
as you might expect.

=over 4

=item *

Prefetch uses the L</cache> to populate the prefetched relationships. This
may or may not be what you want.

=item *

If you specify a condition on a prefetched relationship, ONLY those
rows that match the prefetched condition will be fetched into that relationship.
This means that adding prefetch to a search() B<may alter> what is returned by
traversing a relationship. So, if you have C<< Artist->has_many(CDs) >> and you do

  my $artist_rs = $schema->resultset('Artist')->search({
      'cds.year' => 2008,
  }, {
      join => 'cds',
  });

  my $count = $artist_rs->first->cds->count;

  my $artist_rs_prefetch = $artist_rs->search( {}, { prefetch => 'cds' } );

  my $prefetch_count = $artist_rs_prefetch->first->cds->count;

  cmp_ok( $count, '==', $prefetch_count, "Counts should be the same" );

That cmp_ok() may or may not pass depending on the datasets involved. In other
words the C<WHERE> condition would apply to the entire dataset, just like
it would in regular SQL. If you want to add a condition only to the "right side"
of a C<LEFT JOIN> - consider declaring and using a L<relationship with a custom
condition|DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base/condition>

=back

=head1 DBIC BIND VALUES

Because DBIC may need more information to bind values than just the column name
and value itself, it uses a special format for both passing and receiving bind
values.  Each bind value should be composed of an arrayref of
C<< [ \%args => $val ] >>.  The format of C<< \%args >> is currently:

=over 4

=item dbd_attrs

If present (in any form), this is what is being passed directly to bind_param.
Note that different DBD's expect different bind args.  (e.g. DBD::SQLite takes
a single numerical type, while DBD::Pg takes a hashref if bind options.)

If this is specified, all other bind options described below are ignored.

=item sqlt_datatype

If present, this is used to infer the actual bind attribute by passing to
C<< $resolved_storage->bind_attribute_by_data_type() >>.  Defaults to the
"data_type" from the L<add_columns column info|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_columns>.

Note that the data type is somewhat freeform (hence the sqlt_ prefix);
currently drivers are expected to "Do the Right Thing" when given a common
datatype name.  (Not ideal, but that's what we got at this point.)

=item sqlt_size

Currently used to correctly allocate buffers for bind_param_inout().
Defaults to "size" from the L<add_columns column info|DBIx::Class::ResultSource/add_columns>,
or to a sensible value based on the "data_type".

=item dbic_colname

Used to fill in missing sqlt_datatype and sqlt_size attributes (if they are
explicitly specified they are never overridden).  Also used by some weird DBDs,
where the column name should be available at bind_param time (e.g. Oracle).

=back

For backwards compatibility and convenience, the following shortcuts are
supported:

  [ $name => $val ] === [ { dbic_colname => $name }, $val ]
  [ \$dt  => $val ] === [ { sqlt_datatype => $dt }, $val ]
  [ undef,   $val ] === [ {}, $val ]
  $val              === [ {}, $val ]
