[Omaha.pm] FW: Announce Class::DBI::Informix

["Jay Hannah" <jhannah@omnihotels.com>]

Huh... I wonder what the gap between our home-spun OOP (object oriented
persistence) and this is nowadays? Class::DBI wasn't as cool (for us) as
our internal wheel-reinvention last time I looked (a year ago?). I
wonder if its catching up yet?

Hi,
Anyone who is using an Informix database with Perl might be interested
in Class::DBI::Informix and Class::DBI::Loader::Informix that I released
to CPAN earlier in the week.

Class::DBI is an object relational mapping library that allows you to
define classes that represent tables in the database and the
relationships between the tables.  You can read more about it at:

    http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Class%3A%3ADBI

Class::DBI::Loader automates the creation of the Class::DBI subclasses:
defining the columns, primary key and foreign key relationships and can
be seen at:

     http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Class%3A%3ADBI%3A%3ALoader

Class::DBI::Informix and Class::DBI::Loader::Informix provide the
Informix specific functionality that the generic modules didn't, thus
allowing you to use this labour saving framework with your favourite
database server.  You can find them at:

     http://search.cpan.org/~jstowe/Class-DBI-Loader-Informix-0.02/

These both should be considered as beta releases and I am announcing
here in the hope of some robust feedback on the way I am handling the
Informix specific things: I know you do 'robust' here well :-)

I am specifically interested in having people try these out on a variety
of IDS (or SE even) versions as I have only had the opportunity to test
with IDS 9.40.

Anyway, have fun and I'll look forward to your comments.

/J\
