I'm used to Class::DBI and very new to DBIx::Class.
>From the docs, it seems like to execute any search, I have to
1. Instantiate a schema object and connect it
2. Call $schema->resultset('MyTableClass')->search( ... );
In Class::DBI, since the table classes generally inherit from the main DB class, I can just call MyTableClass->search( ... ) which seems a lot simpler. (And less to type.)
Is there a similar way to achieve this simpler syntax with DBIx::Class, or do I have to use $schema->resultset every time?
Is there a recommended way to encapsulate connection parameters, so I don't have to call $schema->connect all over the place?
(Note: I'm not trying to be obnoxious, I just don't really quite understand how DBIC is organized just yet.)
Thanks,
Mike
