Oryx::DBI::Association::Array - DBI implementation of array asssociations
See Oryx::Association::Array.
This is the implementation of Oryx::Association::Array for use with Oryx::DBI
connections.
This is just a quick run-down of implementation details as of this writing to
help introduce users to the database internals. These details may change with
future releases and might have changed since this documentation was written.
An array association is stored into the database as a separate table named for
the tables linked and the role of the link:
<source>_<role>_<target>
within the table there will be exactly three fields:
- source_id
- This will be the ID field for the source table in the link.
- target_id
- This will be the ID field for the target table in the link.
- _seq
- This is used to order the links in the array. The ordering is unique for
the tuple (source_id, _seq).
