NAME¶
DBIx::SearchBuilder::Unique - Ensure uniqueness of records in a collection
SYNOPSIS¶
package Foo::Collection; use base 'DBIx::SearchBuilder'; use DBIx::SearchBuilder::Unique; # mixin my $collection = Foo::Collection->New(); $collection->SetupComplicatedJoins; $collection->OrderByMagic; while (my $thing = $collection->Next) { # $thing is going to be distinct }
DESCRIPTION¶
Currently, DBIx::SearchBuilder makes exceptions for databases which cannot handle both "SELECT DISTINCT" and ordering in the same statement; it drops the "DISTINCT" requirement. This, of course, means that you can get the same row twice, which you might not want. If that's the case, use this module as a mix-in, and it will provide you with an "AddRecord" method which ensures that a record will not appear twice in the same search.
