=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use UR;

    ## no database

    class Foo { is => 'Bar', has => [qw/prop1 prop2 prop3/] };

    $o1 = Foo->create(prop1 => 111, prop2 => 222, prop3 => 333);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

UR is a class framework and object/relational mapper for Perl.  It starts
with the familiar Perl meme of the blessed hash reference as the basis for
object instances, and extends its capabilities with ORM (object-relational
mapping) capabilities, object cache, in-memory transactions, more formal
class definitions, metadata, documentation system, iterators, command line
tools, etc.

UR can handle multiple column primary and foreign keys, SQL joins involving
class inheritance and relationships, and does its best to avoid querying
the database unless the requested data has not been loaded before.  It has
support for SQLite, Oracle, Mysql and Postgres databases, and the ability
to use a text file as a table.

UR uses the same syntax to define non-persistent objects, and supports
in-memory transactions for both.

=head1 QUICK TUTORIAL

First create a Namespace class for your application, Music.pm:

    package Music;
    use UR;

    class Music {
        is => 'UR::Namespace'
    };

    1;

Next, define a data source representing your database, Music/DataSource/DB1.pm

    package Music::DataSource::DB1;
    use Music;

    class Music::DataSource::DB1 {
        is => ['UR::DataSource::MySQL', 'UR::Singleton'],
        has_constant => [
            server  => { value => 'database=music' },
            owner   => { value => 'music' },
            login   => { value => 'mysqluser' },
            auth    => { value => 'mysqlpasswd' },
        ]
    };

    or to get something going quickly, SQLite has smart defaults...

    class Music::DataSource::DB1 {
        is => ['UR::DataSource::SQLite', 'UR::Singleton'],
    };


Create a class to represent artists, who have many CDs, in Music/Artist.pm

    package Music::Artist;
    use Music;

    class Music::Artist {
        id_by => 'artist_id',
        has => [
            name => { is => 'Text' },
            cds  => { is => 'Music::Cd', is_many => 1, reverse_as => 'artist' }
        ],
        data_source => 'Music::DataSource::DB1',
        table_name => 'ARTIST',
    };

Create a class to represent CDs, in Music/Cd.pm

    package Music::Cd;
    use Music;

    class Music::Cd {
        id_by => 'cd_id',
        has => [
            artist => { is => 'Music::Artist', id_by => 'artist_id' },
            title  => { is => 'Text' },
            year   => { is => 'Integer' },
            artist_name => { via => 'artist', to => 'name' },
        ],
        data_source => 'Music::DataSource::DB1',
        table_name => 'CD',
    };


If the database does not exist, you can run this to generate the tables and columns from the classes you've written
(very experimental):

  $ cd Music
  $ ur update schema

If the database existed already, you could have done this to get it to write the last 2 classes for you:

  $ cd Music;
  $ ur update classes

Regardless, if the classes and database tables are present, you can then use these classes in your application code:

    # Using the namespace enables auto-loading of modules upon first attempt to call a method
    use Music;

    # This would get back all Artist objects:
    my @all_artists = Music::Artist->get();

    # After the above, further requests would be cached
    # if that set were large though, you might want to iterate gradually:
    my $artist_iter = Music::Artist->create_iterator();

    # Get the first object off of the iterator
    my $first_artist = $artist_iter->next();

    # Get all the CDs published in 2007 for the first artist
    my @cds_2007 = Music::Cd->get(year => 2007, artist => $first_artist);

    # Use non-equality operators:
    my @some_cds = Music::Cd->get(
        'year between' => ['2004','2009']
    );

    # This will use a JOIN with the ARTISTS table internally to filter
    # the data in the database.  @some_cds will contain Music::Cd objects.
    # As a side effect, related Artist objects will be loaded into the cache
    @some_cds = Music::Cd->get(
        year => '2007',
        'artist_name like' => 'Bob%'
    );

    # These values would be cached...
    my @artists_for_some_cds = map { $_->artist } @some_cds;

    # This will use a join to prefetch Artist objects related to the
    # objects that match the filter
    my @other_cds = Music::Cd->get(
        'title like' => '%White%',
        -hints => ['artist']
    );
    my $other_artist_0 = $other_cds[0]->artist;  # already loaded so no query

    # create() instantiates a new object in the current "context", but does not save
    # it in the database.  It will autogenerate its own cd_id:
    my $new_cd = Music::Cd->create(
        title => 'Cool Album',
        year  => 2009
    );

    # Assign it to an artist; fills in the artist_id field of $new_cd
    $first_artist->add_cd($new_cd);

    # Save all changes in the current transaction back to the database(s)
    # which are behind the changed objects.
    UR::Context->current->commit;

=head1 Environment Variables

UR uses several environment variables to do things like run with
database commits disabled, watching SQL queries run, examine query plans,
and control cache size, etc.

These make development and debugging fast and easy.

See L<UR::Env> for details.
