DBIx::Class::CDBICompat(3)           User Contributed Perl Documentation          DBIx::Class::CDBICompat(3)



NAME
       DBIx::Class::CDBICompat - Class::DBI Compatibility layer.

SYNOPSIS
         package My::CDBI;
         use base qw/DBIx::Class::CDBICompat/;

         ...continue as Class::DBI...

DESCRIPTION
       DBIx::Class features a fully featured compatibility layer with Class::DBI and some common plugins to
       ease transition for existing CDBI users.

       This is not a wrapper or subclass of DBIx::Class but rather a series of plugins.  The result being
       that even though you're using the Class::DBI emulation layer you are still getting DBIx::Class
       objects.  You can use all DBIx::Class features and methods via CDBICompat.  This allows you to take
       advantage of DBIx::Class features without having to rewrite your CDBI code.

   Plugins
       CDBICompat is good enough that many CDBI plugins will work with CDBICompat, but many of the plugin
       features are better done with DBIx::Class methods.

       Class::DBI::AbstractSearch

       "search_where()" is fully emulated using DBIC's search.  Aside from emulation there's no reason to
       use "search_where()".

       Class::DBI::Plugin::NoCache

       "nocache" is fully emulated.

       Class::DBI::Sweet

       The features of CDBI::Sweet are better done using DBIC methods which are almost exactly the same.  It
       even uses Data::Page.

       Class::DBI::Plugin::DeepAbstractSearch

       This plugin will work, but it is more efficiently done using DBIC's native search facilities.  The
       major difference is that DBIC will not infer the join for you, you have to tell it the join tables.

   Choosing Features
       In fact, this class is just a recipe containing all the features emulated.  If you like, you can
       choose which features to emulate by building your own class and loading it like this:

         package My::DB;
         __PACKAGE__->load_own_components(qw/CDBICompat/);

       this will automatically load the features included in My::DB::CDBICompat, provided it looks something
       like this:

         package My::DB::CDBICompat;
         __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/
           CDBICompat::ColumnGroups
           CDBICompat::Retrieve
           CDBICompat::HasA
           CDBICompat::HasMany
           CDBICompat::MightHave
         /);

LIMITATIONS
   Unimplemented
       The following methods and classes are not emulated, maybe in the future.

       Class::DBI::Query
           Deprecated in Class::DBI.

       Class::DBI::Column
           Not documented in Class::DBI.  CDBICompat's columns() returns a plain string, not an object.

       data_type()
           Undocumented CDBI method.

   Limited Support
       The following elements of Class::DBI have limited support.

       Class::DBI::Relationship
           The semi-documented Class::DBI::Relationship objects returned by "meta_info($type, $col)" are
           mostly emulated except for their "args" method.

       Relationships
           Relationships between tables (has_a, has_many...) must be declared after all tables in the
           relationship have been declared.  Thus the usual CDBI idiom of declaring columns and
           relationships for each class together will not work.  They must instead be done like so:

               package Foo;
               use base qw(Class::DBI);

               Foo->table("foo");
               Foo->columns( All => qw(this that bar) );

               package Bar;
               use base qw(Class::DBI);

               Bar->table("bar");
               Bar->columns( All => qw(up down) );

               # Now that Foo and Bar are declared it is safe to declare a
               # relationship between them
               Foo->has_a( bar => "Bar" );
