NAME

DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::ClassicExtensions - Class containing generic enhancements to SQL::Abstract::Classic

DESCRIPTION

This module is not intended to be used standalone. Instead it represents a quasi-role, that one would "mix in" via classic @ISA inheritance into a DBIx::Class::SQLMaker-like provider. See "connect_call_rebase_sqlmaker" in DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI for more info.

Currently the enhancements over SQL::Abstract::Classic 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)
A rudimentary multicolumn IN operator
Support of "...FOR UPDATE" type of select statement modifiers
