Announce Class::DBI::Informix
Posted in 2006
Hi, Anyone who is using an Informix database with Perl might be interested in Class::DBI::Informix and Class::DBI::Loader::Informix that I released to CPAN earlier in the week. Class::DBI is an object relational mapping library that allows you to define classes that represent tables in the database and the relationships between the tables. You can read more about it at: http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Class%3A%3ADBI Class::DBI::Loader automates the creation of the Class::DBI subclasses: defining the columns, primary key and foreign key relationships and can be seen at: http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Class%3A%3ADBI%3A%3ALoader Class::DBI::Informix and Class::DBI::Loader::Informix provide the Informix specific functionality that the generic modules didn't, thus allowing you to use this labour saving framework with your favourite database server. You can find them at: http://search.cpan.org/~jstowe/Class-DBI-Loader-Informix-0.02/ These both should be considered as beta releases and I am announcing here in the hope of some robust feedback on the way I am handling the Informix specific things: I know you do 'robust' here well :-) I am specifically interested in having people try these out on a variety of IDS (or SE even) versions as I have only had the opportunity to test with IDS 9.40. Anyway, have fun and I'll look forward to your comments. /J\\
