[Catalyst] Catalyst and Informix

2007-09-03 Thread Robert Carew
Hi

I am trying to use Catalyst with an Informix database and am having
problems with DBIC and the use of serial auto-increment keys. After a
weekend of googling I realise that DBIC does not actually support
Informix although select and update work ok. Then I came across
Rose::RDBO::Object which does support Informix but I can't find any
simple examples of how to use Rose::RDBO with Catalyst ie like the
Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial which uses DBIC.

Has anyone used Catalyst with an Informix database and if so which ORM
are you using and what advice can you offer?
Any pointers in either getting DBIC to work with Informix or RDBO with
Catalyst would be gratefully received.

Nobody's filed a bug against DBIx::Class saying there are any problems
with Informix, so we were assuming it worked fine.

Maybe you could get on the dbix-class list and tell us what problems you're
seeing so we can try and help? DBIC supports anything with a user capable
of and willing to send error messages and try DBI tests.

(I have no idea how to use RDBO, though Catalyst::Controller::Rose may help
you there)

If you search the Catalyst archives, you'll find some posts on both
Informix and RDBO:
