Rose::DB::Object::Helpers is a mix-in class containing convenience methods for Rose::DB::Object.

SYNOPSIS

package MyDBObject;

use Rose::DB::Object;
our @ISA = qw(Rose::DB::Object);

use Rose::DB::Object::Helpers clone,

...

$obj = MyDBObject->new(id => 123);
$obj->find_or_create();

$obj2 = $obj->clone;

Rose::DB::Object::Helpers provides convenience methods from use with Rose::DB::Object-derived classes. These methods do not exist in Rose::DB::Object in order to keep the method namespace clean. (Each method added to Rose::DB::Object is another potential naming conflict with a column accessor.)

This class inherits from Rose::DB::Object::MixIn. See the Rose::DB::Object::MixIn documentation for a full explanation of how to import methods from this class. The helper methods themselves are described below.
