I think you mean ORMs (object-relational mapper e.g DBIC, CDBI, RDBO, Tangram, Hibernate etc) not RDBMS (relational database management system e.g. Oracle, DB2, Sybase, Postgres, MySQL, MSSQL) don't you? > Initially, not knowing very much, I came to DBIx::Class.

In some ways you're comparing apples with Wednesday. What do you mean by 'full support'? DBIC has /some/ many-to-many relationship support - see DBIx::Class::Relationship - has_many(), belongs_to(), many_to_many(). If you can express a query you'd perform in SQL, you can use DBIC's SQL::Abstract support to perform a join that isn't directly supported by the higher level API. /joel _______________________________________________ List: http://lists.rawmode.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbix-class Wiki: http://dbix-class.shadowcatsystems.co.uk/ IRC: irc.perl.org#dbix-class SVN: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/trunk/DBIx-Class/ Searchable Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
