No offense, but it sounds like you haven't looked very closely at Class::DBI. The accessors don't have to match the columns, and mine often don't. You can add logic to your classes, and I usually do. It keeps object state while you edit the data and manages writing it back out to the databases, as well as doing lazy-loading, adding validation routines, etc. It's pretty much exactly like a DAO.

    No, no offense at all. On the contrary, I am glad that different views being presented and discussed. Especially for reply like this, we argue precisely the merit of the issues, and nothing more than that.

    If I don't gain any knowledge from others here, what's the benefit to me? Another example of learning opportunity is that, sporty pointed something new to me in his post above.

    I knew the quality of your posts from the past, and I am glad that you replied.
