[Dbix-class] Re: Result, ResultSet and load_namespaces

[Frank Schwach]

I'd second this: the loader is great to get started but after a while it 
becomes a bit of a drag and you can make changes and additions to your 
schema much more quickly and efficiently if you can edit the "core" of 
the Result classes rather than having to add stuff to the end.
Moose Roles are great for adding shared functionality between Result 
classes. I also use them for that.
Check out this post for some how-to for Mosse roles in Result and 
ResultSet classes: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=968402

I think a bit of the confusion could be avoided by making it clearer 
perhaps in the docs that a Result class describes a single row of a 
table whereas the ResultSet class handles methods for handling sets of 
rows, e.g. for adding a shortcut method to a complex search on a table.
