=head1 METHODS

=head2 select

  # Get all objects in list context
  my @list = Politics::AU::Geo::Polygons->select;
  
  # Get a subset of objects in scalar context
  my $array_ref = Politics::AU::Geo::Polygons->select(
      'where pid > ? order by pid',
      1000,
  );

The C<select> method executes a typical SQL C<SELECT> query on the
polygons table.

It takes an optional argument of a SQL phrase to be added after the
C<FROM polygons> section of the query, followed by variables
to be bound to the placeholders in the SQL phrase. Any SQL that is
compatible with SQLite can be used in the parameter.

Returns a list of B<Politics::AU::Geo::Polygons> objects when called in list context, or a
reference to an ARRAY of B<Politics::AU::Geo::Polygons> objects when called in scalar context.

Throws an exception on error, typically directly from the L<DBI> layer.

=head2 count

  # How many objects are in the table
  my $rows = Politics::AU::Geo::Polygons->count;
  
  # How many objects 
  my $small = Politics::AU::Geo::Polygons->count(
      'where pid > ?',
      1000,
  );

The C<count> method executes a C<SELECT COUNT(*)> query on the
polygons table.

It takes an optional argument of a SQL phrase to be added after the
C<FROM polygons> section of the query, followed by variables
to be bound to the placeholders in the SQL phrase. Any SQL that is
compatible with SQLite can be used in the parameter.

Returns the number of objects that match the condition.

Throws an exception on error, typically directly from the L<DBI> layer.

=head1 ACCESSORS

=head2 pid

  if ( $object->pid ) {
      print "Object has been inserted\n";
  } else {
      print "Object has not been inserted\n";
  }

Returns true, or throws an exception on error.
