Is there any reason that you cannot search using relationship accessors?
eg
my $respondent =
$schema->resultset('SurveyRespondent')->find($respondent_id);
my $questions =
$schema->resultset('SurveyQuestion')->search({foo=>'bar'});
while (my $question = $questions->next){
my $answer =
$respondent->search_related('answers',{question_id=>$question_id})->next;
print $answer->display_answer if ($answer);
}
Which means I need to know the foreign keys mapping answers to
questions. What I would like to be able to do is replace the "my $answer
..." line with the following.
my $answer =
$respondent->search_related('answers',{question=>$question})->next;
#question being a relationship defined in the SurveyAnswer object.
Is this something that is on the todo list, or has it been looked at and
deemed to complicated and slow?
