in reply to Design Question - I've gone object mad!

You're reinventing DBIx::Class in general, and as far as your specific question, you are reinventing SQL::Abstract, the tool that DBIx::Class uses to generate SQL.

I'm hearing this a lot, but I'm not aware of DBIx::Class being able to send queries to Solr, for example.

There are a lot of alternative storage/index/search engines around and we don't want to be tied to using a database.

As I've said, the model I'm working on is above any db layer.

It looks like it does to me:

DBIx::Class::Indexer::WebService::Solr

Even if it dosen't do exactly what you want, personally I'd rather take that and modify it to get it to do what I want instead of start from scratch.

Its your project so you know and I don't, but since you're here asking for advice I'll give it: DBIx::Class works above the db layer. From here it looks like you are reinventing wheels instead of figuring out how to add in hooks to existing frameworks.

Cheers for that, I'll certainly be taking a look to see if it'll work for what we need.

Time to learn DBIx::Class fully now :)
