Hi all!

For my VOICE project (see homenode::Sinister) I am using Tie::DBI. It seems very wonderfull, just tie a hash to a DB, even though I think tie-ing is bad... No SQL statements what so ever... Just plain old paradise

But where is the snake, with the apple? What is the down side of this cute little module? What could bite me, if I am going to a higher demand then "SELECT", "UPDATE" and "DELETE"...

I am worried about this - could anyone tell me what to fear?

Thanks!

Sinister greetings.
