Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : libdbix-abstract-perl Version : 1.003 Upstream Author : Andrew Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : CPAN * License : Like perl: GPL or Artistic License Description : DBI SQL abstraction
This module provides methods for retrieving and storing data in SQL databases. It provides methods for all of the more important SQL commands (like SELECT, INSERT, REPLACE, UPDATE, DELETE). . It endeavors to produce an interface that will be intuitive to those already familiar with SQL. . Notable features include: * data_source generation for some DBD drivers. * Can check to make sure the connection is not stale and reconnect if it is. * Controls statement handles for you. * Can delay writes. * Generates complex where clauses from hashes and arrays. * Shortcuts (convenience functions) for some common cases. (Like select_all_to_hashref.) Very helpful IMHO, but I'd like to know if people would use it. I have already packaged it for myself so rather take this bugreport/mail as a vote for wheter this would be a useful addition to the pool or just a waste of disk space. If the later I would still keep it in my private repository. Have fun, Alfie -- tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
