I'm trying to do the following
i have a table with 3 columns.... col1, col2 & time I want to create some methods that I can pass dbix resultsets into that will generate new tables the first byMin takes the time field and blanks out the seconds, generating a new column called 'minutes' the second method is designed to take the output from the first resultset and group by the newly formed minutes column. However it doesnt work - it complains that minutes does not exist. So its obviously not attempting to generate a nested select for me. Is there anyway to do this? sub byMin { my $rs = shift; $rs->search ( {} , { select => [ 'col1', 'col2', 'strftime("%H%M:00", time)' ], as => ['col1', 'col2', 'minutes'] } ); } sub byMinGrouped { my $rs = byMin(shift); $rs->search ( {} , { select => [ 'col1', 'minutes' ], as => ['col1', 'minutes'], group_by => ['col1', 'minutes'] } ); } If not.. Is it possible to get the raw sql from a resultset so that one can do something like sub byMinGrouped { my $rs = byMin(shift); $rs->search ( {} , { from => $rs->toSQL , select => [ 'col1', 'minutes' ], as => ['col1', 'minutes'], group_by => ['col1', 'minutes'] } ); } Thanks, Tom -------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.
