Class-DBI-Relationship-HasManyOrdered and Class::PINT

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/10/05]

hi all,

I have finished the first release of 
Class-DBI-Relationship-HasManyOrdered, it provides an ordered 'has many' 
relationship, with appropriate accessors. Again it is experimental and 
released early in the hope we can repeat the success of C::DBI::R::IsA.

It also allows you to have side-tables without having to muck about with 
objects representing them, giving a much purer tangram style relationship, 
no extra id column in the side table and no need to write extra joins and 
methods to join a complex many to many relationship.

In the next week or two I hope to provide an equivilent HasManyUnordered 
and HasManyKeyed based on the same principles.

Once that is done Class::PINT will be ready, bundling funky attributes, 
more convenient and explicit accessors and the additional relationships 
that have just been finished. It should provide an OOPF somewhere between 
CDBI and Tangram, but with as many of the benefits of the first as 
possible (and remaining backwards compatible) while being relatively easy 
to port to from the latter (which is why I wrote it).

cheers,

A.
