Re: Class::DBI vs. DBIx::Class

To me, the DBIx:: modules are more useful as facade interfaces to DBI, and the class::dbi modules are helpful to define relations between tables. As this topic has been discussed before; a Super Search will also lead to A brief survey of the DBI usability layer modules on the CPAN .

Great, thank you very much for that link! It contains useful information about pros and cons of using SQL statements vs. using an OO wraper (such as Class::DBI).	[reply]
