SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
# In your result (table) classes
use base 'DBIx::Class::Core';
__PACKAGE__->add_columns({ id => { sequence => 'mysequence', auto_nextval => 1 } });
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('id');
# Somewhere in your Code
# add some data to a table with a hierarchical relationship
$schema->resultset('Person')->create ({
      firstname => 'foo',
      lastname => 'bar',
      children => [
          {
              firstname => 'child1',
              lastname => 'bar',

                      firstname => 'grandchild',
                      lastname => 'bar',
                  }
              ],
          },
          {
              firstname => 'child2',
              lastname => 'bar',
          },
      ],

# select from the hierarchical relationship

# this will select the whole tree starting from person "foo bar", creating
# following query:

# START WITH
#     firstname = 'foo' and lastname = 'bar'

DESCRIPTION

This class implements base Oracle support. The subclass DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins is for (+) joins in Oracle versions before 9.0.

METHODS

get_autoinc_seq

Returns the sequence name for an autoincrement column

datetime_parser_type

This sets the proper DateTime::Format module for use with DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime.

connect_call_datetime_setup

Used as:

            

              
              
on_connect_call => 'datetime_setup'
            
          

In connect_info to set the session nls date, and timestamp values for use with DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime and the necessary environment variables for DateTime::Format::Oracle, which is used by it.

Maximum allowable precision is used, unless the environment variables have already been set.

These are the defaults used:

            

              
              
$ENV{NLS_DATE_FORMAT}         ||= 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS';
$ENV{NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT}    ||= 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF';
$ENV{NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT} ||= 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF TZHTZM';
            
          

To get more than second precision with DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime for your timestamps, use something like this:

            

              
              
use Time::HiRes 'time';
my $ts = DateTime->from_epoch(epoch => time);
            
          

relname_to_table_alias

DBIx::Class uses DBIx::Class::Relationship names as table aliases in queries.

Unfortunately, Oracle doesn't support identifiers over 30 chars in length, so the DBIx::Class::Relationship name is shortened and appended with half of an MD5 hash.

See "relname_to_table_alias" in DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI.

with_deferred_fk_checks

Runs a coderef between:

            

              
              
alter session set constraints = deferred
...
alter session set constraints = immediate
            
          

to defer foreign key checks.

Constraints must be declared DEFERRABLE for this to work.

ATTRIBUTES

Following additional attributes can be used in resultsets.

connect_by or connect_by_nocycle

Value: \%connect_by

A hashref of conditions used to specify the relationship between parent rows and child rows of the hierarchy.

            

              
              
connect_by => { parentid => 'prior personid' }
# adds a connect by statement to the query:
# SELECT
#     me.persionid me.firstname, me.lastname, me.parentid
# FROM
#     person me
# CONNECT BY
#     parentid = prior persionid
connect_by_nocycle => { parentid => 'prior personid' }
# adds a connect by statement to the query:
# SELECT
#     me.persionid me.firstname, me.lastname, me.parentid
# FROM
#     person me
# CONNECT BY NOCYCLE
#     parentid = prior persionid
            
          

start_with

Value: \%condition

A hashref of conditions which specify the root row(s) of the hierarchy.

It uses the same syntax as "search" in DBIx::Class::ResultSet

            

              
              
start_with => { firstname => 'Foo', lastname => 'Bar' }
# SELECT
#     me.persionid me.firstname, me.lastname, me.parentid
# FROM
#     person me
# START WITH
#     firstname = 'foo' and lastname = 'bar'
# CONNECT BY
#     parentid = prior persionid
            
          

order_siblings_by

Value: ($order_siblings_by | \@order_siblings_by)

Which column(s) to order the siblings by.

It uses the same syntax as "order_by" in DBIx::Class::ResultSet

            

              
              
'order_siblings_by' => 'firstname ASC'
# SELECT
#     me.persionid me.firstname, me.lastname, me.parentid
# FROM
#     person me
# CONNECT BY
#     parentid = prior persionid
# ORDER SIBLINGS BY
#     firstname ASC
