Hi Ronald,

I am not sure my message will reach the list, because it rejects my messages 
as spam, but here is a short test I made:

$ENV{DBIC_TRACE}++;
use BRK::Schema;

my $schema = BRK::Schema->connect("dbi:mysql:database=brk", "root");

my $uuu = $schema->resultset('User')->search({},{
prefetch => {blogs => 'blog_comments'},
select => ['me.id'],
as => ['user_id'],
});

print $uuu->first->username;

I think the single column that should be printed should be me.id, but here 
is the generated SQL:

SELECT me.id, blogs.id, blogs.user, blogs.date_create, blogs.date_modify, 
blogs.title, blogs.body, blogs.markup_lang, blogs.tags, blogs.active, 
blog_comments.id, blog_comments.user, blog_comments.blog, 
blog_comments.date_time, blog_comments.body, blog_comments.markup_lang, 
blog_comments.active FROM user me LEFT JOIN blog blogs ON blogs.user = me.id 
LEFT JOIN blog_comment blog_comments ON blog_comments.blog = blogs.id ORDER 
BY blogs.user, blog_comments.blog:

Is it normal to get all the columns from the joined tables?

Thank you.

Octavian
