NAME

DBIx::DBO::Row - An OO interface to SQL queries and results. Encapsulates a fetched row of data in an object.

SYNOPSIS

# Create a Row object for the `users` table
my $row = $dbo->row('users');

# Load my record
$row->load(login => 'vlyon') or die "Where am I?";

# Double my salary :)
$row->update(salary => {FUNC => '? * 2', COL => 'salary'});

# Print my email address
print $row ** 'email';  # Short for: $row->value('email')

# Delete my boss
$row->load(id => $row ** boss_id)->delete or die "Can't kill the boss";

METHODS

tables

Return a list of DBIx::DBO::Table objects for this row.

value

$value = $row->value($column);
$value = $row ** $column;

Return the value in the $column field. The ** method is a shortcut for the value method. $column can be a column name or a Column object.

Values in the Row can also be obtained by using the object as an array/hash reference.

$value = $row->[2];
$value = $row->{some_column};

load

$row->load(id => 123);
$row->load(name => 'Bob', status => 'Employed');

Fetch a new row using the where definition specified. Returns the Row object if the row is found and loaded successfully. Returns an empty list if there is no row or an error occurs.

update

$row->update(id => 123);
$row->update(name => 'Bob', status => 'Employed');

Updates the current row with the new values specified. Returns the number of rows updated or '0E0' for no rows to ensure the value is true, and returns false if there was an error.

Note: If LIMIT is supported on UPDATEs then only the first matching row will be updated otherwise ALL rows matching the current row will be updated.

delete

$row->delete;

Deletes the current row. Returns the number of rows deleted or '0E0' for no rows to ensure the value is true, and returns false if there was an error.

Note: If LIMIT is supported on DELETEs then only the first matching row will be deleted otherwise ALL rows matching the current row will be deleted.

Common Methods

These methods are accessible from all DBIx::DBO* objects.

dbh

The read-write DBI handle.

rdbh

The read-only DBI handle, or if there is no read-only connection, the read-write DBI handle.

do

$dbo->do($statement)         or die $dbo->dbh->errstr;
$dbo->do($statement, \%attr) or die $dbo->dbh->errstr;
$dbo->do($statement, \%attr, @bind_values) or die ...

This provides access to the DBI->do method. It defaults to using the read-write DBI handle.

config

$row_setting = $dbo->config($option);
$dbo->config($option => $row_setting);

Get or set the DBIx::DBO::Row config settings. When setting an option, the previous value is returned.
