NAME

       Class::DBI::Plugin::AbstractCount - get COUNT(*) results with abstract SQL

SYNOPSIS

         use base 'Class::DBI';
         use Class::DBI::Plugin::AbstractCount;

         my $count = Music::Vinyl->count_search_where(
           { artist   => 'Frank Zappa'
           , title    => { like    => '%Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar%' }
           , released => { between => [ 1980, 1982 ] }
           });

DESCRIPTION

       This Class::DBI plugin combines the functionality from Class::DBI::Plugin::CountSearch
       (counting objects without having to use an array or an iterator), and
       Class::DBI::AbstractSearch, which allows complex where-clauses a la SQL::Abstract.

METHODS

   count_search_where
       Takes a hashref with the abstract where-clause. An additional attribute hashref can be
       passed to influence the default behaviour: arrayrefs are OR'ed, hashrefs are AND'ed.

TODO

       More tests, more doc.

SEE ALSO

       SQL::Abstract for details about the where-clause and the attributes.
