You've never implemented a saved search function that allows you to 'search within' a saved search? You've never done a "view all posts owned by the selected set of users" link? This sort of thing in DBIC just becomes $posts_rs = $users_rs->search_related('posts'); whereas (so far as I'm aware, please do correct me if I'm wrong) it's a bit more work in RDBO. -- Matt S Trout Need help with your Catalyst or DBIx::Class project?
