Greetings,
I'm used to Class::DBI and very new to DBIx::Class.

Yes. Call it once and keep hold of it.
2. Call $schema->resultset('MyTableClass')->search( ... );
Yup, you have to do that every time.
In Class::DBI, since the table classes generally inherit from the main
DB class, I can just call MyTableClass->search( ... ) which seems a lot
simpler. (And less to type.)
It does however tie you to one and only one database connection. With
DBIx::Class you can use different DBI connections for the same tables/schema
Is there a similar way to achieve this simpler syntax with DBIx::Class,
or do I have to use $schema->resultset every time?
Is there a recommended way to encapsulate connection parameters, so I
don't have to call $schema->connect all over the place?
(Note: I'm not trying to be obnoxious, I just don't really quite
understand how DBIC is organized just yet.)
Thanks,
Mike
