in reply to Object Persistence, Moose and playing nicely with ActiveRecord

As Corion said this is a bit under specified - but DBIx::Class can be used with any DB schema - it does not impose any naming conventions, you can use composed (multi column) primary keys and I am pretty sure you can do single table inheritance with it. Unfortunately you'll need to wait a bit for the complete moosification of DBIx::Class. You can also have a look at Fey::ORM - which is Moose based, but is still experimental.

    Waiting for moosification of DBIx::Class - I did find something demonstrating Moose and DBIx::Class playing together, but the repeated declarations gave me the shudders. It seems as if it shouldn't be hard to extend Moose's declaration syntax to implement something like MooseX::DBI, but it's one of those Simple Matter Of Programming things isn't it? Easy in principle, but tedious in practice.

      You can take a look at the as-yet-unreleased MooseX::DBIC here which provides a Moose-ish layer over the top of DBIx::Class and (IMO at least) nicely merges the strengths of DBIx::Class with the meta-goodness of Moose. It is not 100% feature complete, there are still some bridging between more obscure DBIC features to be done. But fwiw, this is currently used in a production application and so far so good.

        I realise that this probably isn't the forum for it, but can I just say publicly that stvn rocks!
