Sure, but you can make one, right? You've already got the $dbh. Just make a new Rose::DB-derived object and shove the $dbh in there :) If you do this
a lot, you can make a helper function for it:

yeah, but that makes sense.


ok, this should be my last question...

i naturally need to display a set of data that i pulled out of the db ( it ends up in TAL right now, but I've got an abstracted interface as part of a custom framework i built )

i run all my stuff under mod_perl and, to conserve on a bunch of repetitive db queries, i cache about 20k worth of variables that never change on startup

this is pretty generic 3nf 'crap' tables -- stuff like

        table filetype: id | name
        table accounttype: id | name

about 10 tables, ~200 id:name pairigs total. bs stuff. using straight sql in the framework i built though, i learned pre-caching that stuff saved a visible bit on postgres queries and almost no performance hit in perl. so i do that.

back to my framework... as I load stuff to / from the db I'd translate ids to names and vice versa. very simple. that doesn't work well with rosedb, but no problem - i have a filter step that i use to personalize session data against info from the DB (without getting deep into why, one project i have is really db heavy, so i precache a lot of generic queries into memcached with a 5minute timeout, then personalize the display against session data. it works really well). in any event, I tried to mangle a 'row' from a result object with some new field names -- no luck

am i correct in assuming that the only way to accomplish what I want to do ( add some new arbitrary fields to a result returned by a load; or get_magagerclass() ) is to clone the existing fieldnames into a new , normal hash?
