Hallo, I think I've 'managed' this now. ;)
Digging this mailing list again (and again...), I've found the hint to place a function in the ::Manager that does what I need. So, I added a function to the ::Manager of my 'central table' that loads all the data from all related tables. This way, I can drop in a different schema and provide reliable data by just adding the appropriate method. The knot was cut. :) My 'driver' now takes the data and converts it into a hash of hashes by recursion. So, I can cleanly update related objects by using the has_loaded_related() RDBO::Helper method. :) Here's the manager method (for those who, like me, just need an idea...): sub get_full_data_iterator { my ( $class, $id, $db ) = @_; my $with; foreach my $rel ( $class->object_class->meta->relationships ) { push @{$with}, $rel->name; } my %params = ( query => [ SYSTEMID => $id, ], with_objects => $with, db => $db, multi_many_ok => 1, ); my $itr = $class->get_objects_iterator( %params ); return $itr; }; Thanks again.
