Hi all: Just wondering what all of your thoughts are with respect to this article: http://dave.org.uk/talks/lpm/2006/orm/
I think he raises some valid points, so it's worthwhile to see what we can do in terms of patching SQL::Translator to provide a better interface. This is cross-posted to two mailing lists (DBIx::Class and SQL::Translator), so you may not see all replies unless you are part of both lists. I think the thing about constraints is important. Is it possible to implement custom constraints on data? What I mean is, parse the constraint from the SQL database, and then use that to validate data prior to INSERTs and UPDATEs? Then you could validate data before it even enters the database.
