NAME

       Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Relationship::ManyToOne - Many to one table relationship
       metadata object.

SYNOPSIS

         use Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Relationship::ManyToOne;

         $rel = Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Relationship::ManyToOne->new(...);
         $rel->make_methods(...);
         ...

DESCRIPTION

       Objects of this class store and manipulate metadata for relationships in which a many rows
       in one table may refer to a single row in another table.

       This class inherits from Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Relationship. Inherited methods that
       are not overridden will not be documented a second time here.  See the
       Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Relationship documentation for more information.

METHOD MAP

       "get_set"
           Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, object_by_key, ...

       "get_set_now"
           Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, object_by_key, "interface => 'get_set_now'"

       "get_set_on_save"
           Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, object_by_key, "interface =>
           'get_set_on_save'"

       "delete_now"
           Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, object_by_key, "interface => 'delete_now'"

       "delete_on_save"
           Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, object_by_key, "interface => 'delete_on_save'"

       See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Relationship documentation for an explanation of this
       method map.

CLASS METHODS

       default_auto_method_types [TYPES]
           Get or set the default list of auto_method_types.  TYPES should be a list of
           relationship method types.  Returns the list of default relationship method types (in
           list context) or a reference to an array of the default relationship method types (in
           scalar context).  The default list contains "get_set_on_save" and "delete_on_save".

OBJECT METHODS

       column_map [HASH | HASHREF]
           Get or set a reference to a hash that maps local column names to foreign column names.

       build_method_name_for_type TYPE
           Return a method name for the relationship method type TYPE.

           For the method types "get_set", "get_set_now", and "get_set_on_save", the
           relationship's name is returned.

           For the method types "delete_now" and "delete_on_save", the relationship's  name
           prefixed with "delete_" is returned.

           Otherwise, undef is returned.

       foreign_key [FK]
           Get or set the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::ForeignKey object to which this object
           delegates all responsibility.

           Many to one relationships encapsulate essentially the same information as foreign
           keys.  If a foreign key object is stored in this relationship object, then all
           compatible operations are passed through to the foreign key object.  This includes
           making object method(s) and adding or modifying the local-to-foreign column map.  In
           other words, if a foreign_key is set, the relationship object simply acts as a proxy
           for the foreign key object.

       is_singular
           Returns true.

       manager_class [CLASS]
           Get or set the name of the Rose::DB::Object::Manager-derived class used to fetch the
           object.

       manager_method [METHOD]
           Get or set the name of the manager_class class method to call when fetching the
           object.

       manager_count_method [METHOD]
           Get or set the name of the manager_class class method to call when counting objects.
           The make_methods method will use get_objects_count if this value is left undefined.

       manager_iterator_method [METHOD]
           Get or set the name of the manager_class class method to call when creating an
           iterator.  The make_methods method will use get_objects_iterator if this value is left
           undefined.

       manager_delete_method [METHOD]
           Get or set the name of the manager_class class method to call when deleting objects.
           The make_methods method will use delete_objects if this value is left undefined.

       manager_args [HASHREF]
           Get or set a reference to a hash of name/value arguments to pass to the manager_method
           when fetching the object.  See the documentation for Rose::DB::Object::Manager's
           get_objects method for a full list of valid arguments for use with the "manager_args"
           parameter.

           Note: when the name of a relationship that has "manager_args" is used in a
           Rose::DB::Object::Manager with_objects or require_objects parameter value, only the
           sort_by argument will be copied from "manager_args" and incorporated into the query.

       map_column LOCAL [, FOREIGN]
           If passed a local column name LOCAL, return the corresponding column name in the
           foreign table.  If passed both a local column name LOCAL and a foreign column name
           FOREIGN, set the local/foreign mapping and return the foreign column name.

       object_args [HASHREF]
           Get or set a reference to a hash of name/value pairs to pass to the new method when
           constructing the related object.  This attribute conflicts with any use of the
           "manager_*" or "query_args" attributes.

       optional [BOOL]
           This method is the mirror image of the required method.   Passing a true value to this
           method is the same thing as setting required to false, and vice versa.  Similarly, the
           return value is the logical negation of required.

       query_args [ARRAYREF]
           Get or set a reference to an array of query arguments to add to the query passed to
           the manager_method when fetching the object.

       required [BOOL]
           Get or set the boolean value that determines what happens when the local columns in
           the column_map have defined values, but the object they relate to is not found.  If
           true, a fatal error will occur when the methods that fetch objects through this
           relationship are called.  If false, then the methods will simply return undef.

           The default is false if one or more of the local columns allow null values or if the
           local columns in the column map are the same as the primary key columns, true
           otherwise.

       type
           Returns "many to one".

       with_column_triggers [BOOL]
           Get or set a boolean value that indicates whether or not triggers should be added to
           the local columns in the column map in an attempt to keep related objects and local
           columns in sync.  Defaults to false.
