Class::DBI::Loader patched to support generic base classes

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/07/13]

Hi all,

I've patched Class::DBI::Loader and friends to support generic base
classes for the classes generated from the table definitions.

Alls you have to do is to give an additional argument to
Class::DBI::Loader->new (see [1]), which then checks if the proposed
base class is a descendant of Class::DBI::$driver and then makes it a
superclass of all generated classes instead.

If someone is interested, I can polish the patch for release and ask the
original author to include it in further distributions.

Regards,
  Sebastian
