Class::DBI provides a convenient abstraction layer to a database.
|
|
|
|
It not only provides a simple database to object mapping layer, but can
|
|
be used to implement several higher order database functions (triggers,
|
|
referential integrity, cascading delete etc.), at the application level,
|
|
rather than at the database.
|
|
|
|
This is particularly useful when using a database which doesn't support
|
|
these (such as MySQL), or when you would like your code to be portable
|
|
across multiple databases which might implement these things in
|
|
different ways.
