Does anyone know if there are any DBD::drivers that do not use some variant of SQL? I ask because I am planing on implementing the driver using mongoDB's native query language initially, but having a query_language attribute so that It would be possible to add SQL later if desired/wanted.
As I understand it, DBI is agnostic to the database query language in use, same as ODBC etc is, and same as Muldis::Rosetta is, and so an implementer of the API it defines can use any query language it wants, or even support several.
I recommend just supporting MongoDB's native query language initially as per your plan. If the ability to query in SQL is desired then you can provide that as an alternative, but under no circumstances should the ability to use the DBMS' native query language be denied as an option to users.
