NAME

       KiokuDB::LiveObjects::Scope - Scope helper object

SYNOPSIS

	   {
	       my $scope = $dir->new_scope;

	       ... do work on $dir ...
	   }

DESCRIPTION

       Live object scopes exist in order to ensure objects don't die too soon if the only other references to them are weak.

       When scopes are destroyed the refcounts of the objects they refer to go down, and the parent scope is replaced in the live object set.

METHODS

       push
	   Adds objects or entries, increasing their reference count.

       clear
	   Clears the objects from the scope object.

       detach
	   Marks this scope as no longer the "current" live object scope, if it is the current one.

	   This allows keeping branching of scopes, which can be useful under long running applications.

       remove
	   Effectively kills the scope by clearing it and removing it from the live object set.

NAME

       DBIx::Class::Schema::KiokuDB - Hybrid KiokuDB/DBIx::Class::Schema schema support.

SYNOPSIS

       Load this component into the schema:

	   package MyApp::DB;
	   use base qw(DBIx::Class::Schema);

	   __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw(Schema::KiokuDB));

	   __PAKCAGE__->load_namespaces;

       Then load the DBIx::Class::KiokuDB component into every table that wants to refer to arbitrary KiokuDB objects:

	   package MyApp::DB::Result::Album;
	   use base qw(DBIx::Class::Core);

	   __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw(KiokuDB));

	   __PACKAGE__->table('album');

	   __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
	       id => { data_type => "integer" },
	       title => { data_type => "varchar" },

	       # the foreign key for the KiokuDB object:
	       metadata => { data_type => "varchar" },
	   );

	   __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('id');

	   # enable a KiokuDB rel on the column:
	   __PACKAGE__->kiokudb_column('metadata');

       Connect to the DSN:

	   my $dir = KiokuDB->connect(
	       'dbi:SQLite:dbname=:memory:',
	       schema => "MyApp::DB",
	       create => 1,
	   );

	   # get the connect DBIC schema instance
	   my $schema = $dir->backend->schema;

       Then you can freely refer to KiokuDB objects from your "Album" class:

	   $dir->txn_do(scope => 1, body => sub {

	       $schema->resultset("Album")->create({
		   title => "Blah blah",
		   metadata => $any_object,
	       });
	   });

DESCRIPTION

       This class provides the schema definition support code required for integrating an arbitrary DBIx::Class::Schema with
       KiokuDB::Backend::DBI.

   REUSING AN EXISTING DBIx::Class SCHEMA
       The example in the Synopis assumes that you want to first set up a KiokuDB and than link that to some DBIx::Class classes. Another use case
       is that you already have a configured DBIx::Class Schema and want to tack KiokuDB onto it.

       The trick here is to make sure to load the KiokuDB schema using "__PACKAGE__->define_kiokudb_schema()" in your Schema class:

	   package MyApp::DB;
	   use base qw(DBIx::Class::Schema);

	   __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw(Schema::KiokuDB));
	   __PACKAGE__->define_kiokudb_schema();

	   __PAKCAGE__->load_namespaces;

       You can now get the KiokuDB directory handle like so:

	   my $dir = $schema->kiokudb_handle;

       For a complete example take a look at t/autovivify_handle.t.

USAGE AND LIMITATIONS

       KiokuDB managed objects may hold references to row objects, resultsets (treated as saved searches, or results or cursor state is saved),
       result source handles, and the schema.

       Foreign DBIx::Class objects, that is ones that originated from a schema that isn't the underlying schema are currently not supported, but
       this limitation may be lifted in the future.

       All DBIC operations which may implicitly cause a lookup of a KIokuDB managed object require live object scope management, just as normal.

       It is reccomended to use "txn_do" in KiokuDB because that will invoke the appropriate transaction hooks on both layers, as opposed to just
       in DBIx::Class.
