Random point of confusion that needs to be clarified. You seem to think you want inner joins. But if the related record may not exist, what you really want is an outer join.

Also, depending on your database, an alternate object-relational mapper to try is Rose::DB. It also has a learning curve, but a number of prominent people think that the design is better. Also the author is surprisingly responsive to questions on the list.

I think you mean Rose::DB::Object. (Rose::DB is a DBI wrapper and data source registry. Rose::DB::Object is an ORM.)	[reply]
