Why not simply define your columns etc. the normal way?

The set_up_table class methods defined by the db-specific subclasses are
a handy shortcut sometimes, but they are only a shortcut and they don't
always work.

package Foo;

__PACKAGE__->table('foo');
__PACKAGE__->columns(All => qw/list of column names/);

is the standard Class::DBI way to do it and rather more reliable.
