Big news after the weekend ;-)

With version 0.91 you change the sql-like syntax to a more =
object-oriented
approach and now back?

I also like ->create() better.

About the 'problem' that objects can only be created with an insert
happening: wouldn't it be possible to see CDBI as an addition, like a
plugin, to enable perl classes to be work together with a database?

Is the 'has_a on primary keys' patch from Charles Bailey included?

One of the things I'd like to see changed is the updating of data.
I often need something like

if ($self->method ne $newval)
{
  $self->method($newval);
}

to avoid that CDBI thinks that a field has change although it didn't and
call an unneeded update sql when calling ->update afterwards.
An added if check in 'sub _attribute_set' would fix that.

How about mod_perl compatibility? Is it planned to include any of the =
latest
ideas in 1.00?
