DESCRIPTION

A convenience class used to perform operations on a specific column of a resultset.

  my $obj = DBIx::Class::ResultSetColumn->new($rs, $column);

Creates a new resultset column object from the resultset and column passed as params

Much like $rs->next but just returning the one value

Return Value: @values

Returns all values of the column in the resultset (undef is there are none).

Much like $rs->all but returns values rather than row objects

Wrapper for ->func. Returns the lowest value of the column in the resultset (undef is there are none).

max

Arguments: none

Return Value: $highest_value

Wrapper for ->func. Returns the highest value of the column in the resultset (undef is there are none).

sum

Arguments: none

Return Value: $sum_of_values

Wrapper for ->func. Returns the sum of all the values in the column of the resultset. Use on varchar-like columns at your own risk.

func

Arguments: $function

Return Value: $function_return_value

Runs a query using the function on the column and returns the value. For example $rs = $schema->resultset("CD")->search({}); $length = $rs->get_column('title')->func('LENGTH');

Produces the following SQL SELECT LENGTH( title ) from cd me
