Views are basically handled as tables in Class::DBI. If you're really saying that you want to access an ad hoc query as a Class::DBI object, I would suggest that is reporting and should not be done through Class::DBI. Class::DBI is mostly helpful for read/write applications, not for simple query-and-display jobs.

Having separate user/pass options is usually pretty straightforward with Class::DBI when you aren't trying to use them with the same class names inside the same running perl process. If you can expand on the problem you're having, there might be an easy answer.

Your last comment about transaction support sounds interesting, but I'm not quite sure what you mean by it. Are you saying that you want to update some objects and then commit some of your changes but not all of them?
