METHODS

select

# Get all objects in list context
my @list = Politics::AU::Geo::Polygons->select;

# Get a subset of objects in scalar context
my $array_ref = Politics::AU::Geo::Polygons->select(
    'where pid > ? order by pid',
    1000,
);

The select method executes a typical SQL SELECT query on the polygons table.

It takes an optional argument of a SQL phrase to be added after the FROM polygons section of the query, followed by variables to be bound to the placeholders in the SQL phrase. Any SQL that is compatible with SQLite can be used in the parameter.

Returns a list of Politics::AU::Geo::Polygons objects when called in list context, or a reference to an ARRAY of Politics::AU::Geo::Polygons objects when called in scalar context.

Throws an exception on error, typically directly from the DBI layer.

count

# How many objects are in the table
my $rows = Politics::AU::Geo::Polygons->count;

# How many objects 
my $small = Politics::AU::Geo::Polygons->count(
    'where pid > ?',
    1000,
);

The count method executes a SELECT COUNT(*) query on the polygons table.

It takes an optional argument of a SQL phrase to be added after the FROM polygons section of the query, followed by variables to be bound to the placeholders in the SQL phrase. Any SQL that is compatible with SQLite can be used in the parameter.

Returns the number of objects that match the condition.

Throws an exception on error, typically directly from the DBI layer.
