NAME
Class::DBI::Iterator - Iterate over Class::DBI search results
SYNOPSIS
my $it = My::Class->search(foo => 'bar');
my $results = $it->count;
my $first_result = $it->first;
while ($it->next) { ... }
my @slice = $it->slice(10,19);
my $slice = $it->slice(10,19);
$it->reset;
$it->delete_all;
DESCRIPTION
Any Class::DBI search (including a has_many method) which returns multiple objects can be
made to return an iterator instead simply by executing the search in scalar context.
Then, rather than having to fetch all the results at the same time, you can fetch them one
at a time, potentially saving a considerable amount of processing time and memory.
CAVEAT
Note that there is no provision for the data changing (or even being deleted) in the
database inbetween performing the search and retrieving the next result.
