Hello

Question I"m stumped on here, I can't see any way to represent my database via Class::DBI.

My database holds summaries of unique network transactions, split into monthly, trans per day tables, within yearly schemas. Each row is actually a summary of any identical transactions that happened for that day with a count column

There are a few lookup tables for strings that otherwise might repeat in the transaction record like username -> user id etc. Those lookup tables are also held within the yearly schema for each year 2007.usernames etc. (so yes small amount of repeat data per schema).

I'm writing a cgi to allow queries on these over a date range using about any combination of criteria from the transaction. Ex , date, username, item requested, request method etc

I can't figure out how to represent this via Class::DBI because of the multiple tables holding transaction summaries.

Class::DBI seems to only support something like 

Transactions
------------
One Huge Table

usernames
----------
One Huge Table

When it's
------------
2004.jan_trans_daily
2004.feb_trans_daily
2004.usernames
..
2007.jan_trans_daily
2007.feb_trans_daily
2007.usernames

[download]
etc

Can someone enlighten me if there's a clean way to do this? Or is it better to just manually code all the sql.

thank you in advance
K
