Hi All,
My name is Elliott Davis and I am relatively new to this list. I am interested
in writing a driver for Blueprints. I imagine this working similar to the ODBC
or the JDBC driver for DBI currently. I have read the DBI::DBD documentation
(only once, not twice as instructed) and have found it very verbose. It seems
that writing a C driver will be the optimal solution for speed but a pure perl
driver will make the module more maintainable. If I were to work on the driver
I think my goal would be a pure perl driver. The DBI::DBD documentation
suggest an initial email to the dev list before pursuing code on any driver, so
here I am. If anyone is currently working on this or is interested in working
on this could you please let me know.
If I were writing a DBD personally I'd do a Pure Perl first, then a C
implementation, so the module would fall back to Pure Perl if the C
library wasn't available.
