in reply to Class::DBI vs. DBIx::Class

I had been a user of Class::DBI for some time, but when I tried DBIx::Class I migrated almost instantly. The fact that it is ResultSet-oriented is very handy, and also the ability to specify search conditions using SQL::Abstract is awesome (there's also a plugin for Class::DBI for that, however). Even more improtantly, the DBIx::Class community is active and growing, while the Class::DBI community is becoming a bit still. Also, the author of Class::DBI declares he's not in the community of his module, which doesn't seem so good to me... I still have to try Rose::DB::Object, regarding which everybody seems to talk well! Michele.

    I'm with arthas. DBIx::Class is very handy. Check out the docs---start with DBIx::Class::Manual::DocMap and read all the manuals listed. DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook will give you some more ideas. Also, read DBIx::Class::Manual::Troubleshooting.
