Hi,

I am using union from DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::SetOperations, but am struggling a little with the syntax. I'm hoping that someone can help.

I have three individual queries that need to be returned, and the rows from each SELECT are to be returned one after the other. The DBMS is MySQL, and I need to structure the query as per the examples shown at the end of this page:

I have used the '+as' attribute so that I may easily identify the rows from each SELECT via 'get_column'.

I also need to place a LIMIT on the last two queries, and this is where I am having difficulty. My code is as follows:


The problem I have encountered is that the individual SELECT statements are not enclosed in parentheses, so LIMIT is being applied to the overall result, and not the individual SELECTs. The SQL from the above code is:

Is it a 'feature' of MySQL that it requires the additional parentheses? Is there a way for me to add the parentheses to my search?
