Why DBIx::Simple?
  • Many people have written their own wrappers to make life easier, and none made it to CPAN

*cough* *cough* EZDBI *cough*

    *cough* *cough* EZDBI *cough*

    Now that name's obvious. I spent an hour on a very slow search.cpan.org, searching for "Easy", "Simple" and "DBI", and of course found this one, but didn't think it would be even related to DBI.

    I've looked at its documentation, and think it's a weird module. It allows for only one db connection (which should still be sufficient for most people), and has SQL semi-abstraction (the first words are made functions...).

    I have to admit, EZDBI is very easy to use. But I think it's EZDBI and DBIx::Simple are not competitors, as EZDBI is not object oriented.

    I'm glad you mentioned it, so I didn't have to. I actually use EZDBI preferentially over DBI for my pet projects. dominus should be merging some of my contributed code RealSoonNow. The code brings in the functionality of princepawn's DBIx::Connect, which really scratches an itch for me personally. (Initial verions used DBIx::Connect, but it brings in too many dependencies for the process to be called EZ) .oO(It is conceivable that I could add in the ability to handle multiple handles when using this modified interface...)
