This is an excellent point... DBIx does seem like a much more logical home for this module. Indeed SQL is merely a component of the underlying engine, not something with which the user has much interaction, apart from writing conditions for object lookups. SQL::Column, for example, should become something like DBIx::Foo::Table::Column, where Foo is whatever I end up naming my module.

Your point about the need to distinguish my module from the myriad others is also well taken. In retrospect, while I think my module's implementation and interfaces are quite good, you are dead on in saying that I've done a poor job selling its uniqueness. I shall take this to heart in the next revision. It doesn't matter how great my module is if people don't take the time to explore its capabilities.
