# now we will make an object that relates to a single
# record.  We know that our entry is id 1 since it is
# the only record in the database so we do the following

our $user = Table::User->retrieve(1);

# $user contains our object, but since we haven't called
# any methods on the objects it has not made any calls to
# the database.

print ">> Class::DBI Results (single column)\n";
print "    Users First Name: " , $user->first_name , "\n\n";

# Now $user contains all the information related to
# the record in the database.  You can verify this with
# Data::Dumper if you want.
