my $cd = Music::CD->retrieve(1); Retrieve a row (as an object) from the database. Note that this is called as a class method.

my $year = $cd->year; Get a column (a field) from an object. Note that this is called as an instance method, on the particular object retrieved above.

search and search_like are different in that search_like uses the SQL LIKE operator, which allows wildcards. They differ from retrieve in that retrieve only selects based on the primary key, whereas search can use any column or columns. And I think the difference between retrieve and retrieve_all should be obvious just by looking at the name.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
