NAME

Class::DBI::AbstractSearch - Abstract Class::DBI's SQL with SQL::Abstract

SYNOPSIS

package CD::Music;
use Class::DBI::AbstractSearch;

package main;
my @music = CD::Music->search_where(
    artist => [ 'Ozzy', 'Kelly' ],
    status => { '!=', 'outdated' },
);

my @misc = CD::Music->search_where(
    { artist => [ 'Ozzy', 'Kelly' ],
      status => { '!=', 'outdated' } },
    { order  => "reldate DESC" });

DESCRIPTION

Class::DBI::AbstractSearch is a Class::DBI plugin to glue SQL::Abstract into Class::DBI.

METHODS

Using this module adds following methods into your data class.

search_where

$class->search_where(%where);

Takes a hash to specify WHERE clause. See SQL::Abstract for hash options.

$class->search_where(\%where,\%attrs);

Takes hash reference to specify WHERE clause. See SQL::Abstract for hash options. Takes a hash reference to specify additional query attributes. Class::DBI::AbstractSearch uses these attributes:

• order

  Array reference of fields that will be used to order the results of your query.

Any other attributes are passed to the SQL::Abstract constructor, and can be used to control how queries are created. For example, to use 'AND' instead of 'OR' by default, use:

$clsas->search_where(\%where, { logic => 'AND' });
