I would like to extract the common code into a base class DBD - maybe named DBD::SQLPerl (placed SQL in from for private methods and attributes naming - the should have the prefix "sql_"). I know at least two additional DBD's which could benefit from that: - DBD::Google from Darren Chamberlain (I don't know if he is subscribed to dbi-dev@perl.org) - DBD::Sys from me If there are more, it would be great to know about them.I do have no objections to refactoring common code into a new module. I've got no opinion (yet) for the name(space) of that module.
Maybe Tim or Martin have a good proposal :)
What I would like to see though, before we end up in quicksand, is to first `finish' the f_meta work, so DBI would at least be releasable again. Call me conservative, but that would make me happy.
Sure, but I would favour a development release over a real release. I want to add some more test (DBD::File, DBD::DBM) and some documentation how to implement DBD'S based on DBD::File as well as new DBD::SQLPerl. And I'd like to add a link to http://dbi.perl.org/support/ (section: "CREATING A NEW DRIVER"). Jens
