NAME Class::DBI::Search::LIMITed - add 'LIMIT' to Class::DBI searches SYNOPSIS use base 'Class::DBI'; __PACKAGE__->add_searcher( limited_search => 'Class::DBI::Search::LIMITed' ); my @by_date = My::Class->limited_search( ... , { order_by => 'name', limit => 10, }); # or, if you want it to be the default search __PACKAGE__->add_searcher( search => 'Class::DBI::Search::LIMITed' ); my @by_date = My::Class->search( ... , { order_by => 'name', limit => '20, 10', }); DESCRIPTION This is a simple search plugin to a Class::DBI subclass which allows for the addition of a LIMIT option to a SELECT query. METHODS add_searcher __PACKAGE__->add_searcher( method_name => 'Class::DBI::Search::LIMITed' ); As with all Search plugins you can choose the method name for the search that it generates. You can either make a distinct limit-ed search method (e.g. search_limited()), or just make it your default search() method. fragment This overrides the default 'fragment' method in Class::DBI::Search::Basic to add any 'limit' option passed in your search query. CAVEATS This is only useful for databases which support a LIMIT modifier, such as MySQL.
