No.
When you say join on tracks, it uses the relationship "tracks", which in
the case of the tutorial is defined via
__PACKAGE__->has_many('tracks' => 'MyDatabase::Main::Track');
So, it then goes to MyDatabase::Main::Track and finds out what table that referes to, which in this case is "track"
Any clearer?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Now I see where 'tracks' was coming from.
Thank you. Thank you. My brain can rest now.
