NAME
DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::MySQLHacks - Useful MySQL-specific operations for DBIx::Class
VERSION
version v1.0.0
SYNOPSIS
# Your base resultset
package MySchema::ResultSet;
use strict;
use warnings;
use parent 'DBIx::Class::ResultSet';
__PACKAGE__->load_components('Helper::ResultSet::MySQLHacks');
# In other resultset classes
package MySchema::ResultSet::Bar;
use strict;
use warnings;
use parent 'MySchema::ResultSet';
# In code using the resultset
$rs->multi_table_delete(qw< rel1 rel2 >);
$rs->multi_table_update(\%values);DESCRIPTION
This MySQL-specific ResultSet helper contains a series of hacks for various SQL operations that only work for MySQL. These hacks are exactly that, so it's possible that the SQL manipulation isn't as clean as it should be.
METHODS
multi_table_delete
my $underlying_storage_rv = $rs->multi_table_delete; # deletes rows from the current table
my $underlying_storage_rv = $rs->multi_table_delete(qw< rel1 rel2 >);Runs a delete using the multiple table syntax, which supports join operations. This is useful in cases with a joined ResultSet that require rows to be deleted, and using "delete_all" in DBIx::Class::ResultSet would be too slow.
Without arguments, it will delete rows from the current table, ie: "current_source_alias" in DBIx::Class::ResultSet. Otherwise, it can take a list of relationships to delete from. These must be existing relationship aliases tied to the joins, not table names.
This method works by taking a count ResultSet, removing the SELECT COUNT(*) portion, and splicing in the DELETE @aliases part.
The return value is a pass through of what the underlying storage backend returned, and may vary. See "execute" in DBI for the most common case.
NOTE: This method will not delete from views, per MySQL limitations.
multi_table_update
my $underlying_storage_rv = $rs->multi_table_update(\%values);Runs a update using the multiple table syntax, which supports join operations. This is useful in cases with a joined ResultSet that require rows to be updated, and using "update_all" in DBIx::Class::ResultSet would be too slow.
A values hashref is required. It's highly recommended that the keys are named as alias.column pairs, since multiple tables are involved.
This method works by acquiring the FROM, SET, and WHERE clauses separately and merging them back into a proper multi-table UPDATE query.
The return value is a pass through of what the underlying storage backend returned, and may vary. See "execute" in DBI for the most common case.
dbh_execute
my $rv = $rs->dbh_execute($sql, $bind);
my ($rv, $sth, @bind) = $rs->dbh_execute($sql, $bind);Sends any SQL statement to the $dbh via "dbh_do" in DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI while running the usual query loggers and re-connection protections that come with DBIC.
This runs code similar to DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI's _execute method, except that it takes SQL and binds as input. Like _dbh_execute and _execute, it returns different outputs, depending on the context.
