I've been dabbling with catalyst for a while and working with Model::DBI. There are a few issues that I haven't figured out to my satisfaction. loading the dbi connection strings from myapp.conf extending the dbi model with DBIx::Simple. My current method is to create a new dbixsimple object from $self->dbh in every subroutine, I would like to get to a point where this is set up in setup of each dbi model and accessible in a manner like either: my $db = $self->db or $self->do_some_dbixsimple_method( @arguments ). I'd also be happy to hear some views on: pointers on good coding for dbi models -- the balance between reusability and not ending up with a method in your model for every possible query.
===== The discussion I am attempting to start is about DBI models and not the merits of ORM vs DBI, but about doing DBI models well. _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
