Hi,
I am trying to create a might_have join condition in DBIx::Class
where I want to add a value comparison as well as having matching
values in the foreign and self columns. To give an example,
suppose I have two tables:
I too would love to be able to do this.
but couldn't find anything that worked - I get an exception thrown
like this:
Invalid rel cond val HASH(0x94a79c)
for all the things I tried. Is this kind of join possible and if
so what is the right syntax?
I've looked for the error in the DBIC code and it doesn't support
parsing such relations...
Is this an oversight and no-one else has had that particular itch,
or is there reason for not implementing it?
I raised the same issue a while back. The basic gist of the response
was that it's definitely desirable but probably a little tricky to
implement. I did some code diving at the time, and stopped when my
head got near the exploding point. I haven't had any tuits lately to
devote to the issue, but I'm sure the core maintainers would love to
have somebody take a crack at it...

That about sums up my view on it. Also add that the fact that a static
condition like that isn't *technically* anything to do with a
relationship.
