in reply to Abstracting sql

It seems to be that any Perl programmer at least once in his life either has to write an HTML template system, or a database abstraction layer.

Please listen to what Michael Peppler said earlier in this thread. He's absolutely right.

    It might help to note that mpeppler happens to also be the author and maintainer of nearly every reputable CPAN module that deals with the Sybase RDBMS (and, because Microsoft buys all of its software first, MS SQL*Server). This includes DBD::Sybase and sybperl. (Read his homenode for more info.)

    So, regardless of whether you think his momma dresses him funny or not, he has a few legs to stand on when he talks about best practices for dealing with RDBMS-interaction.
