Hi All [and John], I'm exploring Rose::DB::Object et al.. I'm familiar with Class::DBI and have messed around a bit (and decided not to adopt) with DBIX::Class.
I'm working with a fairly large database that contains data handed to me as XML with minimal documentation. I've reverse engineered a schema that represents it, and built various tools to dig useful information out of it. One of the things that I want to do is best (for me, anyway...) expressed as a big ugly query that digs out just the things that I want. In the Class::DBI world, I've done: Foo::DB::Moose->set_sql(poodle => qq{ select moose.id from .... ... }); $meese = Foo::DB::Moose->search_poodle(); while($moose = $meese->next()) { # blah, blah, blah.... } I took this approach in part because I couldn't get Class::DBI to express the query [hardly its fault, it's icky], and also because it was just easier for me to understand. It looks like I might be able to figure out how to get RDO::Manager to express the query, but it would be quicker (at least as a first cut to be able to do something like Foo::DB::Moose::Manager->get_iterator_from_sql(blahblahblah); I haven't seen anything in my dives into the docs. Is it possible? Can you give me a pointer? Thanks, g. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
