I was wondering if some people have played with various RDBMs, and what they think of them.
Initially, not knowing very much, I came to DBIx::Class. I still follow the list and look at it, but I am currently exploring Rose::DB::Object. The plusses for me: - it appears to be faster; - the organization is somewhat saner. I *like* the explicit separation between metadata, column stuff and search objects. There are `clean' subclassing entries; it looks simpler to extend. - it appears to fully support many-to-many relationships (after trying searches with DBIx::Class). The minuses: - less bells and whistles, especially with respect to search objects - probably less integrated with Catalyst (?) - not as much used - somewhat longer to learn As far as I'm concerned, not finding full support in DBIx::Class wrt many-to-many was the point that made me look elsewhere... and merlyn's columns decided me to have a look at Rose::DB::Object. I haven't explored Gantry stuff, nor the original Class::DBI... _______________________________________________ List: http://lists.rawmode.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbix-class Wiki: http://dbix-class.shadowcatsystems.co.uk/ IRC: irc.perl.org#dbix-class SVN: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/trunk/DBIx-Class/ Searchable Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/dbix-class@lists.rawmode.org/
