It looks to me  that these queries  just do  simple searches of the=20
album query where artist IS NOT  NULL. and what ever other parameters
assuming you are not trying to exclude albums that have artist id's
that refer to the database.  Is that right?

If this is the case  you could use Class:;DBI:;Sweet, or
Class:;DBI:;AbstractSearch with their respective "search" and
"search_where"  routines where you can specify operators .

Or you could use CDBI's retrieve _from_sql   -- from docs;

On occasions where you want to execute arbitrary SQL, but don't want
to go to the trouble of setting up a constructor method, you can
inline the entire WHERE clause, and just get the objects back
directly:

  my @cds =3D Music::CD->retrieve_from_sql(qq{
    artist =3D 'Ozzy Osbourne' AND
    title like "%Crazy"      AND
    year <=3D 1986
    ORDER BY year
    LIMIT 2,3
  });

Now, if you really do need to do a join , then Class;:DBI::Sweet's=20
"search" can do it or you can write your own set_sql.

HTH,
