[Catalyst] $c->user->some_relationship always retrives user id from the db

[Jay K]

Hi There,

I suppose now is as good a time as any - The
Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class module currently on CPAN
has the 'avoid the db hit' code is in it.   It is not enabled by
default, but add 'use_userdata_from_session => 1' to your config and
it will not reload from the database unless you specifically request
it.  See the docs:

http://xrl.us/bgbn9

(aka  http://search.cpan.org/~jayk/Catalyst-Authentication-Store-DBIx-Class-0.104/lib/Catalyst/Authentication/Store/DBIx/Class.pm#CONFIGURATION
  )

as there are some things you should know about operating in that mode.

Jay
