NAME

DBIx::Class::SQLMaker - An SQL::Abstract-based SQL maker class

DESCRIPTION

This module is a subclass of SQL::Abstract and includes a number of DBIC-specific workarounds, not yet suitable for inclusion into the SQL::Abstract core. It also provides all (and more than) the functionality of SQL::Abstract::Limit, see DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::LimitDialects for more info.

Currently the enhancements to SQL::Abstract are:

• Support for "JOIN" statements (via extended "table/from" support)
• Support of functions in "SELECT" lists
• "GROUP BY"/"HAVING" support (via extensions to the order_by parameter)
• Support of "...FOR UPDATE" type of select statement modifiers
