Thanks for reminding me about Alzabo. The changes to the DBI I'm proposing are _very_ lightweight, only a few lines of code, and simply provide "another way to do stuff" that may suit some people some of the time. The changes are not intended to provide anything like the functionality that Alzabo does. And there's certainly a place for modules offering table/view/queryresult abstractions like Alzabo, DBIx::Recordset, DBIx::Table do to varying degrees. People could, if they want, think of the changes I'm proposing as being suited to providing simpler implementations of modules like DBIx::Abstract, DBIx::AbstractLite, DBIx::Broker, DBIx::Cache, DBIx::DWIW etc. I'll try to clarify all that in the docs and include links to things like Alzabo and DBIx::Recordset. > Also, since it looks like DBI is going into some interesting areas I'll > want to get my 2 cents in for features that can help support Alzabo ;) That would be great.
