Overview

Class::DBI::AbstractSearch is a Class::DBI plugin to glue SQL::Abstract::Limit 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_by

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

•

limit_dialect

Scalar, DBI handle, object class, etc. that describes the syntax model for a LIMIT/OFFSET SQL clause. Please see SQL::Abstract::Limit for more information.

•

limit

Scalar value that will be used for LIMIT argument in a query.

•

offset

Scalar value that will be used for OFFSET argument in a query.

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

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