Re: Database field names in code

Something related to your question was debated in the Monastery a few years ago, and it ended up with a couple of articles:

DBIx::Recordset VS DBI
(update I am NOT recommending this article as a good resource. It is useful to read it, though, to better understand chromatic's reply.)
DBI is OK by chromatic

More recently, DBI Recipes addressed the same issue, offering some good advice.

update Thanks to Tilly for clarifying. I had the sequence of facts upside down.

The actual history a few years ago is that princepawn had an article published, it drew some criticism, and then chromatic has his reply published. For some of the discussion that appeared between those two events, see DBI vs DBIx::Recordset vs princepawn vs chromatic. For reasons that are clear in my contribution to that discussion, I wouldn't recommend the original article as a useful learning resource.	[reply]
