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

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/07/14]

Hi Sebastian,
  I'd be interested in the patch. I'm developing an application that uses CDBI::Loader
and would like to offer the user/programmer the flexibility of using their own Class::DBI
subclass. I also wanted to patch CDBI::Loader to give the flexibility of defining just individual
tables. I sent an email two weeks ago about wanting to patch CDBI::Loader but got minimal response
from the list and none from the author. Let me know if you're able to contact him.

Good day,
Gabriel
