RDBO++
So here everybody is saying they like Rose better, and I'm learning DBIC :)

So, I'll ask, what do you think? How is Rose better than DBIC or vice versa?

The most comprehensive comparison I found is at http://osdir.com/ml/lang.perl.modules.dbi.rose-db-object/2006-06/msg00021.html , which is a post from the Rose author.

I glanced at Rose's docs and they do look very well done, so that's definitely a plus. The syntax looks clean, as well.

Resultset chaining seems to be DBIC's killer feature.

RDBO is faster but definitely less extensible... performance was a design goal for RDBO, which eschews simplicity and extensibility for it. DBIC's codebase is definitely more modular and extensible.

IMO I think if you want speed, use DBI directly, right? :) But I suppose if the effort has been made and Rose works, I can't fault someone for choosing it on speed.

RDBO may have a better schema loader ... but you should just auto-generate once and then manually maintain in any case...

So -- both good modules. Did I miss anything? Anybody have strong opinions or other comments?
