All AnyDBD does is create a class hierarchy in the namespace of your
choice, based on the type of database you're connecting to. The idea
being that you can create a cross database application that makes use of
all database features (such as optimisations, hints, stored procs) where
appropriate. You can abstract stuff away behind methods, and build up a
nice layer of cross-database methods.
(note I'm not saying this is the best way to do it, but the original
question was what do people use, and this is what I use).
It's a shame you don't have access to the code we wrote (for WebBoard
Unix), as it would be a nice example to look at.
