dragonchild,

I have made modifications to DBD::Mock to support the handling of arbitrary attributes that DBI does not seem to handle (it seems DBI handles anything with the following prefixes 'private_', 'dbi_' and 'dbd_'). Since I do not yet have official upload capabilities for DBD::Mock on CPAN yet, you will have to msg me and I can sent it to you.

However, I am not sure that this is the best way to handle this though. I have a few ideas, and I would like to hear your opinion (and jZed's) of them.

  1. Leave it how it is, allowing arbitrary attributes to be stored and retrieved.
  2. When storing attributes like 'mysql_insert_id', you will be required to prefix it with 'mock_' ('mock_mysql_insert_id'). When you fetch them however, they can be called without the prefix ('mysql_insert_id').
  3. Allow the assignment of a callback function to handle such attributes. This would be called when either DBD::Mock of DBI could not handle it.
And option 1 and 2 do not need to exclude option 3, they could likely co-exists together in some way. Personally I am leaning towards option 2 and maybe option 3 combined with it.

Any thoughts?
