Re: Class::DBI vs. DBIx::Class comparison

[FunkyMonk]

You might also like to look at Rose::DB::Object that I prefer over Class::DBI and DBIx::Class. merlyn did a series of articles on Rose::DB::Object for The Linux Magazine:

• Wrap your database rows with Rose
• Setting up Rose::DB::Object Metadata
• Using Rose::DB::Object
• Rose::DB::Object's many-to-many mappings

Thank you very much for your reply and pointers

In fact, I had already stumbled upon Rose::DB::Object, but had --prematurely it seems-- eliminated it becase I had thought that Rose::DB was a DBI-like interface on its own. Now that I have throughly read the documentation, I know that it's actually a wrapper around DBI (in fact using it rahther then inheriting from it). I am now relieved and this ORM is back in the race for me again. (which had been only out because of my ignorance.

Now, I have read through the articles that you have kindly pointed out. Moreover, I have gone through most of the excellent documentation.

For the moment Rose::DB::Object seems to rock for me. However, I will continue the comparison approach with an update on the original post for others to benefit from this thread.
