To date, yes. The Pentabarf project has been doing some work on Rails to make it integrate with more "intelligent" databases (stored procedures, etc.) but the work is not complete. Also, since we already have a developer group who knows Perl, switching to something else would have a significant cost. I might suggest using the David Fetter approach to ORM, which is simply to construct an Object/Method<-->Database Statement map which lives in a file. While still an application specific approach, it does have the advantage of being self-documenting and thus easy to understand and get hacking on. Let me also say, in my experience, that MVC frameworks are still far from mature. Recently I had to construct a simple data-entry interface for a 5-table database. This is the sort of thing I though Catalyst and Rails would excel at. Instead, it actually took me considerably less time to just write some simple PHP scripts than to make what I wanted fit the MVC framework and work around its bugs/limitations. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
