.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fIData::ObjectDriver::Driver::SimplePartition\fR is a basic driver for objects
partitioned into separate databases. See
Data::ObjectDriver::Driver::Partition for more about partitioning databases.
.PP
\&\fISimplePartition\fR helps you partition objects into databases based on their
association with one record of a \fIparent\fR class. If your classes don't meet
the requirements imposed by \fISimplePartition\fR, you can still write your own
partitioning driver. See Data::ObjectDriver::Driver::Partition.
.SH "SUGGESTED PRACTICES"
.IX Header "SUGGESTED PRACTICES"
Often this is used for user partitioning, where the parent class is your user
account class; all records of other classes that are \*(L"owned\*(R" by that user are
partitioned into the same database. This allows you to scale horizontally with
the number of users, at the cost of complicating querying multiple users' data
together.
.PP
\&\fISimplePartition\fR will load the related instance of the parent class every
time it needs to find the partition for a related object. Consider using a
minimal mapping class for the parent, keeping as much data as possible in other
related classes. For example, if \f(CW\*(C`User\*(C'\fR were your parent class, you might keep
\&\fIonly\fR the user \s-1ID\s0 and other data used to find users (such as login name and
email address) in \f(CW\*(C`User\*(C'\fR, keeping further profile data in another
\&\f(CW\*(C`UserProfile\*(C'\fR class.
.PP
As all the partitioned classes related to a given parent class will share the
same \f(CW\*(C`partition_get_driver\*(C'\fR logic to turn a partition \s-1ID\s0 into a driver, you
might put the \f(CW\*(C`partition_get_driver\*(C'\fR function in the parent class, or use a
custom subclass of \fISimplePartition\fR that contains and automatically specifies
the \f(CW\*(C`partition_get_driver\*(C'\fR function.
.SH "USAGE"
.IX Header "USAGE"
.SS "Data::ObjectDriver::Driver::SimplePartition\->new(%params)"
.IX Subsection "Data::ObjectDriver::Driver::SimplePartition->new(%params)"
Creates a new basic partitioning driver for a particular class. The required
members of \f(CW%params\fR are:
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`using\*(C'\fR
.Sp
The name of the parent class on which the driven class is partitioned.
.Sp
Using a class as a parent partitioned class requires these properties to be defined:
.RS 4
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`columns\*(C'\fR
.Sp
The parent class must have a \f(CW\*(C`partition_id\*(C'\fR column containing a partition
identifier. This identifier is passed to the \f(CW\*(C`partition_get_driver\*(C'\fR function to
identify a driver to return.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`primary_key\*(C'\fR
.Sp
The parent class's primary key must be a simple single-column key, and that
column must be the same as the referencing column in the partitioned classes.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`partition_get_driver\*(C'\fR
.Sp
The \f(CW\*(C`partition_get_driver\*(C'\fR property must be a function that returns an object
driver, given a partition \s-1ID\s0 and any extra parameters given to the
\&\f(CW\*(C`SimplePartition\*(C'\fR constructor.
.Sp
This property can also be defined as \f(CW\*(C`get_driver\*(C'\fR in a call to
\&\f(CW\*(C`Class\->has_partitions()\*(C'\fR. See Data::ObjectDriver::BaseObject.
.RE
.RS 4
.RE
.PP
You can also include any further optional parameters you like. They will be
passed to the partitioned class's \f(CW\*(C`partition_get_driver\*(C'\fR function as given.
.PP
A \fISimplePartition\fR driver will require these properties to be defined for
partitioned classes:
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`primary_key\*(C'\fR
.Sp
Your primary key should be a complex primary key (arrayref) with the simple key
of the parent object for the first field.
.SH "DIAGNOSTICS"
.IX Header "DIAGNOSTICS"
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`using is required.\*(C'\fR
.Sp
The \f(CW\*(C`using\*(C'\fR parameter to the \fISimplePartition\fR constructor is required to
create the partitioned class's \f(CW\*(C`get_driver\*(C'\fR function. Perhaps you omitted it,
or your subclass of \fISimplePartition\fR did not properly specify it to its
parent's constructor.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`Bogus classname.\*(C'\fR
.Sp
The parent class name you specified in your \f(CW\*(C`using\*(C'\fR parameter does not appear
to be a valid class name. If you are automatically generating parent class
names, check that your method of converting strings to class names is correct.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`Failed to load parent class: \f(CIerror\f(CW\*(C'\fR
.Sp
The parent class you specified in your \f(CW\*(C`using\*(C'\fR parameter could not be loaded,
for the given reason. Perhaps you didn't include its location in your library
path.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`Partitioning driver not defined for \f(CIpartitioned class\f(CW\*(C'\fR
.Sp
The partitioned class named in the error is configured to use the
\&\fISimplePartition\fR driver but does not have a \f(CW\*(C`partition_get_driver\*(C'\fR set.
Check that you intended to use \fISimplePartition\fR with that class or, if you're
automatically specifying the \f(CW\*(C`partition_get_driver\*(C'\fR function, that your
technique is working correctly.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`Cannot extract \f(CIcolumn\f(CW from terms \f(CIsearch terms or primary key\f(CW\*(C'\fR
.Sp
The \fISimplePartition\fR driver could not determine from the given search terms
or object key what the \s-1ID\s0 of the related parent record was. Check that your
columns in the partitioned and parent classes share the same name, and that
your application includes the parent \s-1ID\s0 in all \f(CW\*(C`search()\*(C'\fR calls for the
partitioned class and instances of partitioned objects before attempting to
save them.
.Sp
Optionally you can enable a basic support of search across multiple
partition by passing the 'multi_partition' arg (true value) to the search
query.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`Member of \f(CIclass\f(CW with ID \f(CIparent ID\f(CW not found\*(C'\fR
.Sp
The parent record associated with the partitioned object could not be loaded.
Perhaps your application deleted the parent record without removing its
associated partitioned objects first.
