NAME

DBIx::Class::Schema::Slave - DBIx::Class::Schema for slave (EXPERIMENTAL)

SYNOPSIS

  # In your MyApp::Schema class
  package MyApp::Schema;

  __PACKAGE__->load_components( qw/ Schema::Slave / );
  __PACKAGE__->slave_moniker('::Slave');
  __PACKAGE__->slave_connect_info( [
      [ 'dbi:mysql:database:hostname=host', 'username', 'passsword', { ... } ],
      [ 'dbi:mysql:database:hostname=host', 'username', 'passsword', { ... } ],
      [ 'dbi:mysql:database:hostname=host', 'username', 'passsword', { ... } ],
      ...,
  ] );

  # Somewhere in your code
  use MyApp::Schema;

  # First, connect to master
  my $schema = MyApp::Schema->connect( @master_connect_info );

  # Retrieving from master
  my $master = $schema->resultset('Track')->find( $id );

  # Retrieving from slave
  my $slave = $schema->resultset('Track::Slave')->find( $id );

See DBIx::Class::Schema.

DESCRIPTION

DBIx::Class::Schema::Slave is DBIx::Class::Schema for slave. DBIx::Class::Schema::Slave creates result_source classes for slave automatically, and connects slave datasources as you like (or at rondom). You can retrieve rows from either master or slave in the same way DBIx::Class::Schema provies but you can neither add nor remove rows from slave.

SETTIN UP DBIx::Class::Schema::Slave

Setting it up manually

First, you should load DBIx::Class::Schema::Slave as component in your MyApp::Schema.

  # In your MyApp::Schema
  package MyApp::Schema;

  __PACKAGE__->load_components( qw/ Schema::Slave / );

Set "slave_moniker" as you like.

  __PACKAGE__->slave_moniker('::Slave');

Set "slave_connect_info" as ARRAYREF of ARRAYREF.

  __PACKAGE__->slave_connect_info( [
      [ 'dbi:mysql:database:hostname=host', 'user', 'passsword', { ... } ],
      [ 'dbi:mysql:database:hostname=host', 'user', 'passsword', { ... } ],
      [ 'dbi:mysql:database:hostname=host', 'user', 'passsword', { ... } ],
      ...,
  ] );

Next, you have MyApp::Schema::Artist, MyApp::Schema::Album, MyApp::Schema::Track, load these result_source classes.

  __PACKAGE__->load_classes( qw/ Artist Album Track / );

In running "load_classes", DBIx::Class::Schema::Slave creates slave result_source classes MyApp::Schema::Artist::Slave, MyApp::Schema::Album::Slave and MyApp::Schema::Track::Slave automatically. If you set ::MySlave to "slave_moniker", it creates MyApp::Schema::Artist::MySlave, MyApp::Schema::Album::MySlave and MyApp::Schema::Track::MySlave. If you wouldn't connect to slave, always connect to master, you can provide some result_source classes to "load_classes".

  # Schema::Artist::Slave wouldn't be created
  __PACKAGE__->load_classes( qw/ Album Track / );

I recommend every result_source classes to be loaded.

  # Every result_source classes are loaded
  __PACKAGE__->load_classes;

Next, load DBIx::Class::Row::Slave as component in your result_source classes.

  # In your MyApp::Schema::Artist;
  package MyApp::Schema::Artist;

  __PACKEAGE__->load_components( qw/ ... Row::Slave Core / );
  # Some definitions or methods go on

Using DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader

DBIx::Class::Schema::Slave DOES NOT work out with DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader. At present, you make result_source classes by calling "make_schema_at" in DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader and load them in your DBIx::Class::Schema based MyApp::Schema. Maybe, it will be settled at next version or after the next, or ...

Connecting (Create Schema instance)

To connect your Schema, you provive connect_info for master not for slave.

  my $schema = MyApp::Schema->connect( @master_connect_info );

Retrieving

Retrieving from master, you don't have to care about anything.

  my $album_master     = $schema->resultset('Album')->find( $id );
  my $itr_album_master = $schema->resultset('Album')->search( { ... }, { ... } );

Retrieving from slave, you should set slave moniker to "resultset".

  my $track_slave     = $schema->resultset('Album::Slave')->find( $id );
  my $itr_track_slave = $schema->resultset('Album::Slave')->search( { ... }, { ... } );

Adding and removing rows

You can either create a new record or remove some rows from master. But you can neither create a new record nor remove some rows from slave.

  # These complete normally
  my $track = $schema->resultset('Track')->create( {
      created_on  => $dt->now || undef,
      modified_on => $dt->now || undef,
      album_id    => $album->id || undef,
      title       => $title || undef,
      time        => $time || undef,
  } );
  $track->title('WORLD\'S END SUPERNOVA');
  $track->update;
  $track->delete;

  # You got an error!
  # DBIx::Class::ResultSet::create(): Can't insert via result source "Track::Slave". This is slave connection.
  my $track = $schema->resultset('Track::Slave')->create( {
      created_on  => $dt->now || undef,
      modified_on => $dt->now || undef,
      album_id    => $album->id || undef,
      title       => $title || undef,
      time        => $time || undef,
  } );

  $track->title('TEAM ROCK');
  # You got an error!
  # DBIx::Class::ResultSet::update(): Can't update via result source "Track::Slave". This is slave connection.
  $track->update;

  # And, you got an error!
  # DBIx::Class::ResultSet::delete(): Can't delete via result source "Track::Slave". This is slave connection.
  $track->delete;

Don't call "update_all" in DBIx::Class::ResultSet, "delete_all" in DBIx::Class::ResultSet and "populate" in DBIx::Class::ResultSet via slave result_sources. Also you should not call "find_or_new" in DBIx::Class::ResultSet, "find_or_create" in DBIx::Class::ResultSet and "update_or_create" in DBIx::Class::ResultSet via slave result_sources.

CLASS DATA

slave_moniker

Moniker for slave. ::Slave default.

  # In your MyApp::Schema
  __PACKAGE__->slave_moniker('::Slave');

IMPORTANT: If you have already MyApp::Schema::Artist::Slave, DO NOT set ::Slave to slave_moniker. Set ::SlaveFor or something else.

slave_connect_info

connect_infos ARRAYREF of ARRAYREF for slave.

  # In your MyApp::Schema
  __PACKAGE__->slave_connect_info( [
      [ 'dbi:mysql:database:hostname=host', 'username', 'passsword', { ... } ],
      [ 'dbi:mysql:database:hostname=host', 'username', 'passsword', { ... } ],
      [ 'dbi:mysql:database:hostname=host', 'username', 'passsword', { ... } ],
      ...,
  ] );

slave_connection

Connection for slave stored. You can get this by "slave".

METHODS

load_classes

Arguments: @classes?, { $namespace => [ @classes ] }+

No @classes provided, this method registers all result_source classes for master and slave. If you provide @classes, registers them for master and slave.

  # You have MyApp::Schema::Artist, MyApp::Schema::Album, MyApp::Schema::Track
  # In your MyApp::Schema
  __PACKAGE__->load_classes;

Then, this method re-maps class_mappings and source_registrations.

  # Re-mapped class_mappings
  class_mappings => {
      MyApp::Schema::Artist        => 'Artist',
      MyApp::Schema::Artist::Slave => 'Artist::Slave',
      MyApp::Schema::Album         => 'Album',
      MyApp::Schema::Album::Slave  => 'Album::Slave',
      MyApp::Schema::Track         => 'Track',
      MyApp::Schema::Track::Slave  => 'Track::Slave',
  }

  # Re-mapped source_registrations
  source_registrations => {
      MyApp::Schema::Artist => {
          bless( {
              ...,
              ...,
              ...,
          }, DBIx::Class::ResultSource::Table )
      },
      MyApp::Schema::Artist::Slave => {
          bless( {
              ...,
              ...,
              ...,
          }, DBIx::Class::ResultSource::Table )
      },
      ...,
      ...,
      ...,
      MyApp::Schema::Track::Slave => {
          bless( {
              ...,
              ...,
              ...,
          }, DBIx::Class::ResultSource::Table )
      },
  }

See "load_classes" in DBIx::Class::Schema.

resultset

Arguments: $moniker
Return Value: $result_set

If $moniker is slave moniker, this method returns $result_set for slave. See "resultset" in DBIx::Class::Schema.

sources

Return Value: @sources

This method returns the sorted alphabetically source monikers of all source registrations on this schema. See "sources" in DBIx::Class::Schema.

  # Returns all sources including slave sources
  my @all_sources = $schema->sources;

master_sources

Return Value: @sources

This method returns the sorted alphabetically master source monikers of all source registrations on this schema.

  my @master_sources = $schema->master_sources;

slave_sources

Return Value: @sources

This method returns the sorted alphabetically slave source monikers of all source registrations on this schema.

  my @slave_sources = $schema->slave_sources;

connect_slave

Arguments: @info
Return Value: $slave_schema

This method creates slave connection, and store it in slave_connection. You can get this by "slave". Usualy, you don't have to call it directry.

slave

Getter for "slave_connection". You can get schema for slave if it stored in "slave_connection".

  my $slave_schema = $schema->slave;

select_connect_info

Return Value: $connect_info

You can define this method in your schema class as you like. This method has to return $connect_info as ARRAYREF. If "select_connect_info" returns undef or undef value or not ARRAYREF, "_select_connect_info" will be called, and return $connect_info at random from "slave_connect_info".

  # In your MyApp::Schame
  sub select_connect_info {
      my $self = shift;

      my @connect_info = @{$self->slave_connect_info};
      my $connect_info;
      # Some algorithm to select connect_info here

      return $connect_info;
  }

INTERNAL METHOD

_select_connect_info

Return Value: $connect_info

Internal method. This method returns $connect_info for slave as ARRAYREF. Usually, you don't have to call it directry. If you select $connect_info as you like, define "select_connect_info" in your schema class. See "select_connect_info" for more information.
