Although the difficulties in serialising objects to a relational
database are well documented, we often find outselves using such a
database to store the data that will make up the objects in our system.
Class::DBI provides a convenient abstraction layer to a database.
Thus we end up writing many classes, each mapping to a table in our
database, and each containing accessor and mutator methods for each of
the columns. We then write simple constructors, search methods and the
like for each these classes.
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.
Class::DBI is here to make this task trivial.
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.
