note moritz <p>Just a few random thoughts: <ul> <li>Storing objects as blobs in a database makes it (nearly) impossible to do useful searches in them. Since the power of SQL queries is the main selling point of relation database systems, that's really a pity, and you might want to consider other storage systems ("nosql")</li> <li>If all your objects have similar structure, storing them in a proper schema would improve searchability</li> <li>YAML doesn't capture all features of Perl 5 data structures (for example weak references).</li> <li>Storable captures more features, but you'll generally have problems changing to a different version of Storable (or Perl, for that matter).</li> <li>If you plan to support multiple serialization formats, store the format in addition to the actual data.</li> </ul> <!-- Node text goes above.
