NAME
DBIx::Skinny::Manual::EN - DBIx::Skinny Manual (English)
DESCRIPTION
Why I made DBIx::Skinny.
MOTIVATION
There are many OR mappers for Perl - Class::DBI, DBIx::Class, Data::ObjectDriver, Data::Model, Rose::DB::Object, DBIx::DataModel, etc.
The OR mappers listed here basically use OO methods based on SQL queries to assemble a database result.
Various objects are the result.
Class::DBI and DBIx::Class have been widely used. DBIx::Class is an especially powerful OR mapper but also a bit heavyweight and somewhat slow.
Design Objectives
The main objectives of DBIx::Skinny are:
Inflate when dealing with utf8 issues
Handle common OR operations
Intuitive select statements
Smaller code base.
