SQL is actually beautiful. In fact, sometimes I get annoyed that DBIC makes some things harder than SQL. The dreadful thing is not SQL, it is moving stuff in and out of data structures. That's why I love DBIC, because it makes my data structures smarter, allowing me to focus on the interesting problems. I would focus on the advantage of DBIC as a central point to enforce rules that can't be easily enforced by SQL. For example, I've recently become annoyed with the way my app handles whitespace for certain fields. Instead of scouring the entire app adding normalization rules, I can just add a DBIC component and the entire app is fixed painlessly. -- Stuart Jansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Guru Labs _______________________________________________ List: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbix-class IRC: irc.perl.org#dbix-class SVN: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/DBIx-Class/ Searchable Archive: http://www.grokbase.com/group/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
