=head1 METHODS
=head2 register_extensions
Wraps all currently existing clause based statements such that when a clause
of '!name' is encountered, if its value is a coderef, it's called with the
original value of the 'name' clause and expected to return a replacement, and
if not, it's simply used as a direct replacement.
This allows for passing data through existing systems that attempt to have
their own handling for thing but whose capabilities are now superceded by
L<SQL::Abstract>, and is primarily useful to provide access to experimental
feature bundles such as L<SQL::Abstract::Plugin::ExtraClauses>.
As an example of such a thing, given an appropriate DBIC setup
(see C<examples/bangdbic.pl>):
$s->storage->sqlmaker->plugin('+ExtraClauses')->plugin('+BangOverrides');
my $rs2 = $s->resultset('Foo')->search({
-op => [ '=', { -ident => 'outer.y' }, { -ident => 'me.x' } ]
});
# (SELECT me.x, me.y, me.z FROM foo me WHERE ( outer.y = me.x ))
my $rs3 = $rs2->search({}, {
'!from' => sub { my ($sqla, $from) = @_;
my $base = $sqla->expand_expr({ -old_from => $from });
return [ $base, -join => [ 'wub', on => [ 'me.z' => 'wub.z' ] ] ];
}
});
# (SELECT me.x, me.y, me.z FROM foo me JOIN wub ON me.z = wub.z WHERE ( outer.y = me.x ))
my $rs4 = $rs3->search({}, {
'!with' => [ [ qw(wub x y z) ], $s->resultset('Bar')->as_query ],
});
# (WITH wub(x, y, z) AS (SELECT me.a, me.b, me.c FROM bar me) SELECT me.x, me.y, me.z FROM foo me JOIN wub ON me.z = wub.z WHERE ( outer.y = me.x ))
my $rs5 = $rs->search({}, { select => [ { -coalesce => [ { -ident => 'x' }, { -value => 7 } ] } ] });
# (SELECT -COALESCE( -IDENT( x ), -VALUE( 7 ) ) FROM foo me WHERE ( z = ? ))
my $rs6 = $rs->search({}, { '!select' => [ { -coalesce => [ { -ident => 'x' }, { -value => 7 } ] } ] });
# (SELECT COALESCE(x, ?) FROM foo me WHERE ( z = ? ))
