NAME

       KiokuDB::Backend::Role::Query - Backend specific query API

SYNOPSIS

	   with qw(KiokuDB::Backend::Role::Query);

	   sub search {
	       my ( $self, @args ) = @_;

	       # return all entries in the root set matching @args (backend specific)
	       return Data::Stream::Bulk::Foo->new(...);
	   }

DESCRIPTION

       This role is for backend specific searching. Anything that is not KiokuDB::Backend::Role::Query::Simple is a backend specific search, be it
       a Search::GIN::Query, or something else.

       The backend is expected to interpret the search arguments which are passed through from "search" in KiokuDB as is, and return a
       Data::Stream::Bulk of matching entries.

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.
