DBIx::Class::PK - Primary Key class

SYNOPSIS

Top

DESCRIPTION

Top

This class contains methods for handling primary keys and methods depending on them.

METHODS

Top

id

Returns the primary key(s) for a row. Can't be called as a class method.

ID

Returns a unique id string identifying a row object by primary key. Used by DBIx::Class::CDBICompat::LiveObjectIndex and DBIx::Class::ObjectCache.

WARNING

The default _create_ID method used by this function orders the returned values by the alphabetical order of the primary column names, unlike the id method, which follows the same order in which columns were fed to set_primary_key in DBIx::Class::ResultSource.

ident_condition

  my $cond = $result_source->ident_condition();

  my $cond = $result_source->ident_condition('alias');

Produces a condition hash to locate a row based on the primary key(s).
